In the midst of an army of police and a horde of television news reporters, a middle-aged limo driver remarked, “I didn’t know the city had this many cops left.” Another man complained about having to park on the street to patronize the corner liquor store since news vans had taken over the parking lot. The disturbance happened at Harvey’s Apartments, a local cesspool for the neighborhood’s n’er do wells. Generally, they charge by the hour…like most apartments. Fortunately, none of the exotic performers at the nearby watering hole, Gold Diggers, were harmed during the incident.
All in all, it was a good day for the authorities. They, seemingly, solved the case; captured the offender; and avoided a costly trial, appeals process, and incarceration. According to one official, “looking competent with little effort is an unbeatable combination.” The only question in this reporter’s mind is, “why can’t more violent criminals shoot themselves?” For Little to do About Something News…this is KBR.
