No surprise...crime is UP in Greensboro

http://www.guilfordlivescanner.com/gallery/albums/album03/DSCF0061.highlight.jpg The N&R once again reports something that really isn't news...crime is up in Greensboro.

If you were living under a rock and had not paid attention to those daily reports of robberies, burglaries, shootings and thefts, that should have tipped you off pretty early.

The FBI's Semiannual Preliminary Uniform Crime Report says while violent crime nationwide decreased 3.5 percent from January-June, 2008, Greensboro's violent crime rate increased 3 percent from the same period last year. While property crime decreased 2.5 percent, Greensboro's rate rose 4.2 percent.

But don't bash City Council or the City Manager or the Police Department...Zack Matheny's had it with you!

E.C. :)
