A Tale of Two Counties
Maybe it's politically incorrect, but some things just need to be said.
It's hard not to notice that newspaper reports of criminal acts and/or violence frequently contain the surnames of a certain nationality.
You might note that the article's headline reflects the "bad news county"; not the "good one"...

In the Fairfax Times, James Cullum reports:
"Overall crime in Fairfax County increased by nearly 22 percent for the first quarter 2008 compared to first quarter figures from last year."
"Recently, Prince William County reported a 19.3 percent decline in crime, with chairman of the Board of County Supervisors Corey Stewart attributing the downturn to the hard line the county has taken toward illegal immigrants."
