Is Crime Underreported?
Dear Editor,
A very respected and long-time leader in Greensboro asked me if I could recall an shooting incident that happened about a year ago at the corner Cornwallis Drive and Elmwood Street. Fortunately my memory serves me well!
The gentleman, a local dentist, was not killed, just shot in the shoulder with a minor injury. I think his wife and kids were in the car. It never showed up on Greensboro Police Department reports, which tells me many aggravated assaults and crimes in Greensboro are not reported. Figures lie and liars figure. I think crime is much worse than our leaders report. Do you remember when city officials chose to change the bar a few years ago in comparing crimes in Greensboro from previous years? Why? To deceive you.
Much like then President Barack Obama chose to change the criteria for reporting unemployment in America. Current Mayor Nancy Vaughan will deceive you in so many way to profess her effectiveness. Please don’t be fooled by these meaningless claims of her accomplishments.

Vote for real change: Write-in candidate Chris Meadows for Mayor. Voters can put an end to this madness.
Our govt (in)action. Run by people in it for themselves.
Ultimately, though, the voter is the culprit.
Good remembrance Jim, the dentist must have been white, so no further follow up by law enforcement or the local left-wing propaganda stenographers was necessary. The democrats have created “pretend world”, which unfortunately most of the people in this town have signed on with, so they hope you don’t believe your lying eyes. Fortunately, there are a growing number of people that are seeing through that BS and appropriately discard anything a democrat says and pay no attention to their stenographer media. Don’t expect much “reform” though, I’ve lived here since 1967 and this place was ripe with the radical revolutionary black panther community of Huey Newton, Angela Davis, Eldridge Cleaver and other notables in and out of here frequently during that time. The white community is still afraid of that perceived movement and appeases at every turn.
Why didn’t Chris Meadows run and be the 5th candidate. Why did the city vote for Nancy or Justin? It makes me sad we will have the same poor government who keep things from us.
