Absolutely Awful

I usually refrain from posting on the "Police Beat" news items because I don't think we need a blog to sound like the local news. I'm not saying these things are not awful, but we get enough of them on the news that I just don't like dealing with it here.

But today's story in the Tribune was just awful. In the past six months, three taxi drivers have been assaulted. One was shot, robbed, and blinded; one stabbed by a woman who then stole the cab; and one beaten by two men. Their accounts are horrendous.
