I Can’t Leave You People Alone for Five Minutes
I was out of town this weekend working on legal stuff back in Illinois and made it a point to keep Indianapolis off the radar screen. I asked myself “what could possibly happen while I was gone?” I should have known better.
Not only is a 4-year old one of the city’s latest homicide victims, but a woman is killed by a stray bullet. These aren’t examples of mope kills mope, but innocent civilians falling victim to the hands of evil doers. And to make matters worse, we are now back to averaging a homicide every 2.7 days. And according to the Indianapolis Star, we’re ahead of where we were last year at this time, and you know what happened last year when it came to homicides.
I would expect law enforcement, particularly the leadership, to be on top of this. But instead, Frank Anderson is not only offering up endorsements for an election that is four years away, but he is also not communicating with his fellow Democrats. I spoke to a number of them over the weekend, and Frank’s actions have also raised the ire of Julia Carson, the Godmother of the Marion County Democratic Party.
If Julia is not happy, and puts her machinations into work, there is no way candidate Kerry Forestal can become sheriff. All this in less than 72 hours. Can’t I leave you people alone for two minutes without something silly happening? I guess not.
