Color it purple at the Post-Dispatch

I’ve said it once. I’ve said it twice. I’ll say it again: Harry Levins and the law and order beat at the P-D is a bad combination. As long as he treats the crime blotter as a noir writing project, we’ll be subjected to prose like this (link now defunct):

At least four bullets found their mark in a street shooting that killed a young man and wounded another early today in the city’s Dutchtown neighborhood.

Stop this man before he ledes again.
