Envy

Can't help but notice the snotty comment regarding a local "printed" newspaper today regarding obtaining crime and violence reports. Actually if you are in other counties they do send crime reports and arrest reports to the newspapers so perhaps a request for this to happen is not out of line. Just open a standard newspaper and see the bookings, arrests and most wanted. The other papers do not stand outside the law offices to see what is happening, it is released to them daily. But since the cockroach has an obsession with bad things happening and making sure that everyone in the world knows that pretty much only bad things happen around here will be a priority.

Not sure I would consider him a news hound, just an obsessed blogger.

Maybe the fact that the local printed news does not have the sole purpose to bring attention to the negative in the area upsets him. After all why do people live here? Murder, theft, drugs, child abuse? These all seem to be front page news every day and very little is reported on the good things that surround us all in the community. But knowing the cockroach, there is little good in the world and he expects pity from everyone when he is held responsible in public for the pain he causes others as well as the community.

The only possible explanation for his comment is likely envy.
