Blessed By Our Enemies

The Martin Chronicles likes to peruse the weekly newspapers across Northern Kentucky before we use them to line our puppy crates. We never know what we might find. Recipes, marriage licenses, prep highlights, obituaries and-oh, yes-letters to the editor. We found a letter-to-the-editor written by the former-one-term-Villa-Hills-councilman-failed-State-Senate-candidate-later-arrested-for-driving-through-a-police-barricade-set-up-in-response-to-a-shooting-incident-while-drunk-and-transporting-a-box-of-marijuana Jim Noll.

First of all, we want to make it abundantly clear that we respect and defend the right of anyone-including substance-abusers, the lamebrained and the woefully ill-informed-to express their opinion. But that doesn't mean we won't comment on their opinions.

Noll's headline? "Villa Hills doesn't need police force". One does not have to read too far in to Noll's manifesto to detect vile ancient crocodile Councilman Mary Koenig's clawprints all over the content. Why? It's chock full of half-truths and flat-out lies.

Noll repeats several of Koenig's false lines of attack that have also been parroted by malfeasant Mayor Martin, the dim-witted HBM-I, various neo-nazis and other pinheads:
  • Police Chief Goodenough's monthly activity reports are filled with confusing, redundant and often meaningless codes (especially if you read them after spending an hour or two smoking pot).
  • VHPD doing more work and responding to more calls in other cities (Noll is evidently unfamiliar with the concept of mutual aid and the fact that Crescent Springs' outsourcing experiment has been a miserable failure).
  • Detective got paid more than chiefs and commissioners in New York, Chicago and San Francisco (because the mendacious Martin completely mismanaged the City Budget and was-and still is- conducting a malicious vendetta against the Detective).
  • Martin's "outsourcing" would lead to foot and bike patrols in Villa Hills (given the terrible police coverage provided to other Northern Kentucky cities who have "outsourced", this is evidently another belief that stems from spending an hour or two smoking pot).

Noll goes so far as to make fun of police activities like the annual "Shop With A Cop" for underprivileged children. Noll's version of that activity? "Getting Stopped By A Cop" while drunk driving and transporting a box of marijuana through a police barricade. That explains quite a bit.

Jim Noll, the malevolent Martin's poster boy for "outsourcing".
