I live in the small city of Rome, New York, and serious crime here is very rare. However, thievery is becoming more rampant. I blew my knee out a week ago yesterday, and my son came in to take me to the laundromat, and to get groceries. I’ve been going to the same laundromat for many years, and when we got there today, we learned that someone had stolen the change machine about 3 weeks ago, and it hadn’t been replaced. My poor son had to run back out, in order to get some quarters. He tried first at the grocery store, but they wouldn’t give them out. The girl at customer service told him he should try the car wash a couple of miles down the road, which he did, and got enough quarters so I could do my laundry. Crime is up everywhere, and the way Democrats deal with it, is to let the same perps right back out on the street, so they can offend again.
I grew up in Rome, my dad’s side of the family is from Union Street. Ever since Griffis got BRACed and the industries shut down, the city went down down down. My mom had her purse stolen at Pinky White laundromat.
