unless they are simply crazy they give up-that is the goal not executing criminals on the streets. |

As posted by me when they talk about a gun the police resort to overwhelming force. Assuming a criminal. They might try to take on one or two cops. Assuming the number in the original post is correct 20, no criminal other than in movies is going to take on 20 cops. Assuming it was a suicide attempt. Most suicide attempts are a call for help. It is actually illegal to kill yourself. The irony, if you are successful what are they to do. Kill you for attempting to kill yourself? |

One post stated it was a suicide attempt. I don't want to own one but you can purchase a police band radio. |

That’s because The Daily Sun is a good news , news paper. The developer will slap their hands if they print anything they will hurt sales. They don’t report break ins and thiefs!

There is a very simple solution to this supposed problem, do not subscribe to the Daily Sun. See, it's so easy a caveman can understand it or even a Villager. I did a very quick search and found 3 other news sources that report all the crime, poor behavior, ignorance, and depravity that should more than satisfy the most morbid appetites out there.
I think some of you people need to find something else to occupy your time. Volunteer at a charity, help out a neighbor that needs assistance, get a hobby, get a pet, join a club, go to a nursing home and talk to the people living there and try to brighten their day, just do something other than constantly looking for the evil in society. |
**************.com you'll get the crime stories. and you'll note how many of them are committed not by Villagers but by people on the outside. and given how many people live here now. 140,000? It's an astonishingly small number and some of the crimes are kinda humorous. Today they talk about some woman from Leesburg who lifted a $36 bracelet from a TV boutique. It is what it is. in SF, you can't even get prosecuted for less than $1,000. so if the Daily Sun isn't enough of a dirt paper, so be it. can always read about the crime on line.

[QUOTE=Stu from NYC;2020647]The Sun Times has no interest in reporting crime.
And to elaborate a bit further, if you recognize what it actually is, a (granted fancy) advertising vehicle, which could (?) possibly have found a way to write off partially as a tax deduction (?), it makes sense. Retired very early so been here a long time. Recognized it was not a "real" newspaper in the sense many of us understood. Former city was less than 100,000 population, but the entire police blotter was a standard feature, it was a standard part of the "news". Something like a major presence as mentioned above, would always have received a separate article, possibly pictures. Near by cites of half a million and up, probably not, but here in America's home town, one would expect everything, especially anything that might indicate crime, danger, or anything the residents, being "seniors", should be especially alert to, would be a major gold of the local "newspaper"... but not so. Ditto Covid, and anything that could possibly be viewed as in any way "reality". Having said that, personally I believe all kinds of literature should be available, and that people know what the Sun actually is, and purchase it for reasons other than truth and up to the moment information; good or not so good. To me it's like purchasing a good novel for the beach to "escape" reality, or purchasing the latest copy of the physician's desk reference... it depends on what YOU want to read. If you are considering a move here, or just want to know for insurance rate reasons, the crime rate here, then the Sun is not the vehicle you would choose ! Some feel the $.50 is worth the price to use as a coupon book, or to compare auto prices of local dealers ! Others (jokingly ?) say, they need liners for the cage of their bird(s), so who knows ! |

I wonder where you find the statistics telling you that crime is up in the villages? Can you supply your sources? Thank you

When the newspaper is owned by the Morse family or close friends/relatives, and then of course it's going to be slanted the way they wanted to be, just like in the old days of Chicago and New York when papers would come out for one candidate or other. That's called editorializing, and rich people own newspapers for that very reason. And again if you don't like it, you can certainly start your own paper or blog like these people have done it up here. That's why you see these little blue and red boxes all over towns giving away free community papers. That's an idea call it the police blotter and see how many advertisers you'll get when there's all negative news

Spot crime and news break are two websites you should be interested in as they both talk about crime.

There are also incidents involving military veterans and current members of the military that don't get published. It is a policy of courtesy to not report them. For instance - you are not likely to see an article in the newspaper about a veteran who commits suicide, even if that occurs in a parking lot of a busy store.
