Hate to be one of those "the book is better" guys, but....the book is better! I'm a huge Alan Moore fan, and V has been a favourite of mine for a while. Do check it out!
I'll beat joe to the punch and note that since crime went down this year, that must mean DC-style gun control works...and it also appears to keep tigers away!
Just a tip, Tim, you should use more descriptive titles for
these posts. Someone (like, ahem, me) who reads you primarily
through a feed reader won't necessarily jump at the article unless
it's clear what it's about. Especially important for you guys,
since you don't publish text in your feeds.
Okay, pedantic asshole mode off.
Not weighing in on the curfew, but the article's kind of disingenuous- yes, homicide is down for the year, but in the weeks before these measures were enacted there was a large upswing in homicides, and several high profile murders (Chris Crowder and Alan Sennitt) as well several robberies & sexual assaults occuring on the National Mall.
