LAKE WORTH CRIME BLOTTER, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28

In another example of how the perception of crime is manipulated in the little City of Lake Worth we have this example. Read the following entry in a LAKE WORTH CRIME BLOTTER on Friday, February 6, 2015, and identify the crime that was committed:
Deceased Person: A woman living on the 1800 block of North N Street called police [sic, should be "PBSO"] to report that she'd found her longtime friend, Sue Ives, lying on the floor of the home, deceased. She said she'd seen Ives going into the bathroom at 1 a.m., complaining of possibly catching a cold. At 8:45 a.m. she went to check on her and found her lying on the floor of the bedroom, unresponsive. There were no signs of trauma.
Approximately 70 words. In Margaret Menge's CRIME BLOTTER. And there was no crime here. This is just another attempt by some in Lake Worth to manipulate the perception of crime and damage the image of our City and our PBSO.

And consider this, how disrespectful of a human life, the life of Sue Ives, to be used as "filler" in a Ms. Menge CRIME BLOTTER. Has Ms. Menge no shame. No empathy?

In the very same issue of Margaret Menge's 'newspaper' on the front page, she writes about a Lake Worth business owner who committed suicide on August 18, 2014. In yet another example of disrespect for the dead she quotes an unidentified "UPS driver" saying, "He wasn't friendly with anybody".

So what, Ms. Menge? The man is dead. Give it up.
