Jon Halsey chimes in support of Mr. Marshburn, re: crime issue Comments re article 98557 Charles Marshburn comments on wave of car breakins Jon Halsey writes: In defense of Mr. Marshburn, Merriam-Webster defines a crime wave as: "a sudden increase in the amount of crime in an area." So either 18 cars broken into in three days is standard in Columbia or it would seem to fit the definition of a crime wave. If I lived in Columbia, I would definitely hope it is the latter. - Jon HalseyThanks - No argument - just that using the term, though correct, is alarmist - and this is time for level heads to be alert, and not fall into the notion that the first answer for ever problem to use use every incident as a basis to tax-and-spend. By this hour likely everyone in Columbia, maybe in most of Adair County are aware of the problem of unlocked vehicles, and by Wednesday, the miscreant(s) we don't know whether one person committed when in 18 different cars or 36 tried and only 20 different cars were breached. The police have acted, as usual in a appropriately restrained way. - EW This story was posted on 2018-07-22 12:19:30
