Send Phoenix Jones and his merry band of superheroes over there to take care of the problem!

Nice headline, implying that crime comes with austerity.

This is happening already in the major cities, with or without 4 more years of Oblamo.. Wait until Nov. 7th, and get back to me.. Burn Baby Burn..

The Greeks need a quick primer on how to set up community vigilance committees. It's surprising how quickly law and order are reestablished once a few violent criminals are hanged.

>Now Greeks are facing a rise in crime their police seem unable to stop.<

.
Issue CHL to law-abiding citizens and watch the crime rate drop and funeral homes increase business.

“Austerity” did not cause the crime wave. Overspending did. “Austerity” simply means that they are now living within their means. It woudl be as if you spend a year or two using credit cards to supplement your income, then when the credit card companies pulled the cards because you weren’t paying them, you started to steal to keep living the good life. This is yet another example of how living above ones means is a corrupting influence — a moral sin. People want things and don’t want to pay for them.

The lives of millions of innocents are not nearly as important as Obama’s reelection efforts, so the Greeks will just have to wait for any sort of bailout or other solution:

They need Sheriff Arpaio to setup a tent city for those illegal aliens.

"Stories like these are becoming more common in a country which just a few years ago prided itself on having one of the lowest crime rates in the European Union."

That was before the government employed/connected were unemployed.

Last week I was loading groceries into my truck at a shopping center. Several young men came running through the parking lot holding bottles.

I thought it was odd that they were running.

One of them approached me and said that they had designer colognes at deep discounts for sale. He asked me what I wore and tried to push the bottle under my nose.

I told him, “I don’t wear cologne. GO AWAY.”

He ran off.

Later I found out that they had ether in the bottles. After the victim gets woozy, the perps steal wallets and purses.

Watch your Six.
