The Martin Chronicles reporting staff has heard the many concerns expressed about the skyrocketing crime rate in Villa Hills from that town's resident. There has been a spike in burglaries, break-in and vandalism that began at about the time malfeasant Mayor Mike Martin took office in January, 2011.
Our post is not an indictment of the local police department. These police officers are doing the best they can under dreadful circumstances imposed by the malevolent Martin. No, our post is an indictment on the way the tiny tyrant Martin has mismanaged the local police department. Why has that happened. Well, Martin couldn't manage his way out of a wet paper bag. But it's more than that. Martin is still hell-bent on getting revenge against a local police department that he incorrectly blames for FORGERY CHARGES that were brought against him in late 2007.
Why do we write "incorrectly blames"? Because the only person responsible for the FORGERY CHARGES brought against Martin in late 2007 is Martin himself. Martin FORGED a deceased person's name on that deceased person's checks and cashed them, after all. Sure, Martin blames a bank teller and what he describes as his "dysfunctional family" for his FORGERY. But he alone is responsible for what he did.
So, when a slim majority of voters bought Martin's bullshit claim that he was "the change" that Villa Hills needed, the die was cast. Martin's vendetta against the local police department hit high gear from almost the minute he took charge.
Villa Hills is a City of nearly eight thousand people. The town is spread out over 3.5 square miles. There are several entrances and exits. Wrongdoers can come and go from Buttermilk to the Interstate. They can enter and exit from Amsterdam in to Boone County. Bad guys can find their way in and out on Highwater Road from and to Ludlow. There are two more entrances and exits in to Crescent Springs. Plus, crooks can come in and out of Villa Hills through the high-end area of Country Squire Estates. Villa Hills is far from a "gated community".
What should any reasonable person expect when a revenge-driven mayor like Martin intentionally keeps his local police department under-staffed? Remember Martin's bluster when he was asked to bring the department up to full staffing levels? "I'm the CEO. It's my decision. Deal with it. We're moving on. Get over it." Martin is a radical loon who has left his City wide open to the massive crime surge it is currently facing.
Yes, we have posted this before. Voters get the kind of government they deserve. But we don't really believe that any of the voters-even those that foolishly voted for the diminutive dictator Martin-supported the huge escalation in crime that Martin's actions have triggered.
This surging crime wave is the best example of what the pinheads mean when they say Martin has done "great things for people'. Yeah, right.
The answer isn't what the lunatics suggest. More guns in Villa Hills doesn't solve a damn thing. All you need to know is that Martin has appointed police-haters and gun-nuts to the City's Safety Committee that oversees the local PD. Just like Martin, these people are insane.
Do you want to know how to get crime under control in Villa Hills? That's easy. Throw Martin and cronies like Koenig, Menninger-Isenhour and Wischer out on their asses on November 4, 2014.
You get to help make that choice in 410 days.
