Chicago

Crit Nats Sunday in Downer's Grove. This will be my first time racing
for a USPRO national champ jersey. Our sprinters are coming into form,
so hopefully I'll be able to help them win the stars and stripes.

The mayor of New Haven held a joint press conference with the police
chief yesterday. Apparently crime is on the rise in Ghetto Haven,
shocking, can the crime be any worse?!? As a concerned citizen of this
fine city this press conference was of interest to me. So, how are
they going to combat crime: More cops, stiffer penalties, or less
arrests? Just like a multiple choice test, if you don't know the
answer go with C. Yes folks they are going to prevent crime by
arresting fewer people. A city in The South pioneered this idea and
found that offenders who were not arrested were half as likely to
commit another crime as those who had been arrested previously. This
concept struck me as odd until I walked out my front door when I
watched four kids steal a bike from a city bus' front rack. While
observing this disturbing yet slightly humorous situation, the humor
came from the bus driver who tried to run the thugs over as they went
for the second bike, I realized that I shouldn't call the cops because
justice was taking place right in front of my eyes. By not arresting
the thugs, as the had mayor explained earlier, they have now learned
stealing is wrong and are 50% less likely to do it again. Genious.
Anyone want to buy an ocean front condo in a safe town?
