Hartford Crime Rates Drop

Reverand Brown at an Anti-Violence Rally this summer.

Earlier this week Hartford Police Chief Daryl Roberts and Mayor Pedro Segarra announced a 6.9% decrease in "serious crime" from 2009 to 2010. Hilda Munoz of the Hartford Courant, informs us that "serious crime is defined as murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny, and auto theft." All sound pretty serious to us. This is obviously a good thing right? Nobody could be upset about a drop in crime right?

Went Out of Style Faster Than the H2

Though the Gulf oil spill has lost its spot atop the news cycle this is still a quite a bold statement to make these days. I can't imagine the looks this thing drew a couple months ago. Then again as it was an old lady driving a VW beetle, it's possible the bumper sticker is a prank perpetrated by some young whippersnappers that grandma is woefully unaware of. First seen on Woodland. Tailed closely to Farmington for the shot.
