Once lived there. Bars on the windows became more prevalent, graffiti spread to every neighborhood, malls became gangsta enclaves.... liberals got elected over and over.

WE MOVED AWAY! (just in time)

That’s why I wear a “in-the-pants” holster, to avoid those em-bare-assed moments.

Suspects?

What were they suspected of doing? Seems like the reporter was interested in making the story as short as possible.
