Open letter on crime to Reed and King (our regular reader)
Yet again, we have been lied to and misled by Reed and King and the Harrisburg Police. It seems a band of roaming robbers have been targeting women walking in Midtown for robbery and pistol-whipping, with no word from the Administration to be on the look-out.
What will it take for some honesty from the administration? Why aren't reporters looking at the crime logs at Harrisburg Police stations? Is it because Reed is clueless or is he just protecting the image of Harrisburg as safe? Are they reporting crime to the FBI appropriately, or is that all a fraud?

It seems that public safety and open communication are the cornerstones of ANY government. This is basic stuff, and I hope people demand these basics, just as they should demand an elected school board.
I do not know why the concept of democracy has to be so revolutionary around here!
BTW, the person mugged was a good friend and someone I respect very much. This is just too much. The media are getting pretty peeved by the spin machine.
If Randy would like to keep me out of the paper, he needs to do his job...not the political job, but his REAL job: to be a spokesman to inform the people of what is really going on in our city. Well, I should not blame Randy. It is Mayor Reed who needs to set this tone.
Take care...PennLive is not the same without you all. Of course, maybe you ARE there and are simply censored to invisibility!

Looks like they made some arrests -Patriot says full story tomorrow.
Yeh, but they have guns. I think the better bet is an angry protest at the main police station by women.
Oh dear - the cost of civil protest keeps rising!
How about in front of the Mayor's house? Maybe we can stage a re-enactment so he can see what's going on in the 'hood. I'm willing to read from the crimes code the definition of simple assault versus aggravated assault versus indecent assault. They obviously have no clue.
Watch for a posting - I've got to work out some logistics and see if I can get enough females rounded up.
Email any ideas to me at anniken@comcast.net
Yes, the more the merrier.
Glad to see your humor has returned! Yes, the more the merrier
