Give 'Em A Lollipop, Pat 'Em On Their Head And Send 'Em On Their Way

The Martin Chronicles gives advice sparingly. We are more observers and commentators than we are drivers of policy or actions. But we do have some respectful advice for all of the sage Facebook posters who are trying to make sense to the young folks on Facebook who are spouting all manner of pro-Martin gibberish and bashing the Villa Hills Police Department. Let it go.

Engaging the "Martin Youth" is a complete waste of time. Perhaps these "utes" have no problem with misconduct and mismanagement. Maybe they actually believe the bilge they are dumping into the internet ocean. Or, more likely, they are simply relishing the fact that for the first time in their short lives adults are actually paying attention to them.

All of us have far better things to do. We have a corrupt and incompetent Norwood sewer rat embarrassing the (EXPLETIVE) out of our City after all. Keep your eye on the ball. There is a big election looming that will most likely surround Martin with more supporters and conflict-averse wimps who won't open their mealy-mouths no matter how egregious Martin's behavior.

The situation is far too serious to care about what a bunch of high-schoolers post on their social network. They have had their day in the sun. But the sun is now setting. Just as it will eventually set on their feckless leader.

The Martin Chronicles has officially adopted a new policy regarding the "Martin Youth". We are gently sitting them at the "kiddie table" to chat amongst themselves and getting on with much more important business.
