After a violent crime,
the trendy Tremont neighborhood struggles to find a way to feel safe again. (and, uh...keep the streets free from trash. Or something.)
| Tremont residents vow to fight back |

Notice how none of their "fighting back" actually involves fighting back.
They're still stuck in victim mode.
ReplyDeleteWell I'm always armed in Tremont. But I don't tell anyone...

Maybe they could hire hire mercs?

Fighting back with brooms and phones. Is that some new martial art school I haven't heard of?
ReplyDeleteChuck phone at attacker's head, then strike with broom using powerful two handed swing. Begin!
The lights could help for target identification.
ReplyDeleteIts a learning curve. They think we're so civilized we can defeat the barbarian hordes without violence.
ReplyDeleteNeglecting to note that there are "Barbarian Hordes" in the first place.
Hopefully they'll work their way up the learning curve....but sadly, I doubt it.
Its a learning curve. They think we're so civilized we can defeat the barbarian hordes without violence.
ReplyDeleteAnd they fail to recognize that violence is implicit in the very fabric of a functioning, civilized society
@ Weer'd Beard: At first glance, I could have sworn you said Librarian Hordes. :)

Doesn't Judge Pinaka live in this neighborhood? Maybe he could go after the big bad banks that loaned money to the victims that live in Tremont.
