Resurgic Acid

A "resurging" community in DC discovers that it's not so resurgent, with two shootings in two weeks, and residents fearing for their safety. Understandably, something needs to be done. Action must be taken.

So what's the proposed answer? Lighting. More lighting is needed to thwart the "spasm of violence" that rips at the soft underbelly of this community. Oh, and abandoned houses; something needs to be done about them too.

Great job Mayor Grey! Way to step it up there and take the bull by the horns!

When DC leaders respond to crisis like this, you know what it reminds me of? Madlibs.

DC officials are concerned about (adjective) ________ violence in a South East DC community. Just last (time)_______ twelve people were (past-tense verb) _________ while on their way to (utopian place)________. DC Police Chief Cathy Lanier is considering (majestic verb)__________ with (type of people, plural)______________ in an effort to stop them from (verb)___________. DC officials have also considered installing (plural noun)_______________ and (noun)___________ to prevent (adjective)__________ (type of people, plural)______________ from destroying the very fabric of the community.

Go ahead and have some fun with that one.

I bet you a shiny new nickel that there's some government employee that works for the mayor's office who's sole job in life is to dream up words to fill in those blanks, and when the media comes hunting for some BS story, that's the dude they look for.

As for solutions to the violence problem, you know where I stand on such matters.

"Lighting"? Seriously? With evidence that the criminals have actually declared war on cops, the "powers that be" think lighting is the answer?

God spare us from these idiots!

Oh, wait. He can't. We voted them in!
