As Rutland City begs for help with crime, incident by incident, it becomes evident that if you throw money at the situation, you will only be buying more crime. By avoiding the cause and effects of 25 years of elite control, political strongholds, no progression and 50% poverty, Rutland City has invited misery upon itself and blames any convenient scapegoat. Focus on the financial winners amongst many losers in the business atmosphere of Rutland City. The successes are either based on the care or support of sex offenders, substance abusers and disabled or sales of gateway drugs tobacco, alcohol and junk food. This type of atmosphere creates a ghetto. A ghetto traditionally has higher crime figures. Crime and punishment bring its own cast of financial winners and losers. Follow the money trail.
Its time for the good people of Rutland City to make internal changes. Police yourselves because as McGruff says “Only you can take a bite out of crime.” The alternative will be less freedom and more crime. Who wins but the criminals and the politicians who support them?
