Re: Murder Rate Due To Drugs & Guns - The Tribune, April 11, 2012

SUCH a profound and insightful statement from our Minister from the dwarf planet Pluto - something like saying "flames are due to fires". Also, he's right of course, we'd probably all feel much less under siege if the media would just exhibit less irresponsibility in reporting murder rates, and concentrate more on relevant statistics such as illegal parking, jay-walking, and selling lunches without a permit, etc. Then, along with the Minister, we'd probably all sleep much better.
