Did you see the crime rate is down to a 40-year low everywhere except Boston, Minneapolis, New York, Detroit, and  San Antonio? That can't be right. As Super Chundy points out, there are a lot of dangerous folks out there.

Black panthers! Illegal immigrants! Gangster rappers! Arab terrorists! Bill Ayers! Barack Obama! 

How can the crime rate be going down when the conservative media has kept me in a constant state of terror and vigilance!

Because the vigilance is working, Chundy. Thanks for reading, everyone. And thank your all for participating in Open Wire. We'll see you back out there tomorrow.
