is the City of the Persecuted. First there was “Religious
Persecution,” then “Chicken Persecution,” then “Tavern
Persecution,” then “Italian (Gambino’s) Persecution.”
I would like to add “Financial Persecution.” There must be
some devious plot to paint swastikas and other graffiti on the traffic control
box at the corner of 6<sup>th</sup> & <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Jackson</st1:City></st1:place>
that is in plain view from my window. It MUST be an organized group
because this has been going on for at least five years. And before that,
when the bank was located on <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Jackson</st1:place></st1:City>
where the taco bus parks, these unmentionables were painted on the walls,
parking lot, etc. It’s a good thing the Taco Bus isn’t there overnight
or we would be hearing about “Taco Persecution.”<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
