Op-ed: Matter of fact- Scaring up support

“Slashed! Dozens of cars left flat in Ridge,” read the headline in a local Brooklyn newspaper after about 40 cars in Bay Ridge had their tires punctured overnight.
This sounds like it is in reference to recent acts of vandalism, but this local article was from Nov. 30, 2011, when the same thing happened, just as it has occurred every few years during my entire life in Southern Brooklyn.
