A1: "Police suspect same teens in second robbery"

At last, the Saturday-night story arrives, in which the same guys do the same robbery exactly one month later. We learn that PVPD has nothing on them and hopes for a tip.

Maybe I'm in the wrong line of work.

    You know, they probably do, but only because our police system doesn't seem to be working to deter this sort of thing.

    Consider some of the factors contributing here as well. The acres of asphalt that retailers have to put in to satisfy parking codes also separate them from other businesses, making it harder to patrol them and easier to spot police. Patrol officers are few and far between, yet the town still has the responsibility of protecting a lone all-night business. A big store is staffed by only two employees in the middle of the night. Automated security systems are easy to defeat.
    The only surprising thing here, if you're of that mindset, is that this doesn't happen every third day.

I encourage you to share your own views and experience with me and other readers. How you do that matters, and I'm committed to maintaining a place where readers and commenters can feel safe from adolescent BS. So here's the deal:

There are two kinds of anonymous comments: those by people who have a genuine fear of revenge from the dark side, and those from darksiders just hiding to avoid accountability. You may post comments anonymously, but I reserve the right to treat anonymous comments as found items that belong to me and do with them as I see fit.

If, on the other hand, you're willing to stand by your convictions and post under your own name or a regular handle, your comments belong to you, and I'll edit them only on egregious violations of respect for others.

If this doesn't work for you, I'm sure you'll be happier somewhere else.
