The ceaseless killings on the streets and in the abandoned properties of Gary Indiana was a subject brought up by a caller to The Committee To Elect Tom McDermott radio show today. More than one caller questioned the actions or non action of Gary Mayor Freeman-Wilson. Tom McDermott defended her, naming bad upbringing and other clichés as the cause of the deadly violence, and absolving her of any responsibility. "What's a mayor supposed to do?", he asks. But in his next breath he attacked the Governor as uncaring. As McDermott used the dead bodies of homicide victims as a political pulpit to attack Mike Pence, he had the nerve to say someone else doesn't care? Locals bear no responsibility, but downstate Republicans do? The tiresome attribution of our local problems as somehow being foisted on us by Indianapolis is getting old. So is McDermott, but he's not growing up at all.
