Dear Mr. Banks,
This letter to the editor should be self-explanatory. I hope it will engender constructive public dialogue around what to do about crime in Clarksdale.
From: Bill Homans
I am speaking here to an anonymous intruder.
Sometime in the wee hours of October 6, you climbed over my 6-foot
wooden fence into my back yard, undoubtedly hoping to find
easy targets to steal, where you shot my beautiful, harmless, loyal,
loving dog. Whoever you are, you are not worthy to be called a son of a b*tch.
The officer who investigated says that you probably scaled my fence, where my
darling Pinot, a white half-Labrador, probably barked at you, and you shot him in
the leg and back. My best human friend, my restaurant partner and Pinot's
caregiver while I go on musical tours, found him lying on the floor in our home.
