Check it out. In today's local news from the
Watauga Democrat, there are NO stories about street crime, other than a tax refund scam (which is a form of fraud but not like that committed by elites!).
But in these stories, there is no context provided. For example, how widespread is the crime? And what is the risk of being a victim?
Further, with regard to one of the other stories,
why are gas prices going up? And what can be done about it, if anything? Silence on this issue.
As for GoBlueRidge.net ... SIGH!
The crime of the week is a hit and run by one car against another car in a parking lot!
And there are missing kids?
And another man was arrested?
And a bunch of sports.
So that is pretty much all that happens in Boone.
As for that polluted water story, there is also no context provided. Why? And what can be done about it?
Crickets!
