Politician Blames Neighborhood Crime on Pizza Sales (Associated Press)
WASHINGTON — A D.C. Council member is proposing legislation to crack down on selling pizza slices in a northwest neighborhood.
Council member Jim Graham says pizza parlors on 18th Street northwest in Adams Morgan are part of the problem with neighborhood crime.
Graham says the eateries stay open until 4:30 a.m., and "tolerate a certain level of violence." Although they're operating legally, he says the restaurants have become a nuisance.
The council member says he is drafting legislation and already has discussed the issue with Mayor Adrian Fenty.
Abdul Souada, a manager at one of the jumbo pizza slice restaurants, says he is being unfairly targeted just because his business is popular.

I'm sorry if it's way off topic, but this gives me an excuse to post this because it's the first thing that came to mind

You know, growing up, I thought that "plaza" was an alternative spelling for "pizza". When corrected, it saddened me because there was less pizza in the world This news is depressing.

That right. Guys. When there is crime in your town. Blame it on the Pizza Parlor or any places open late night. Makes sense.

Pizza is clearly evil and a bane on human existence.
I've been trying to tell everyone, but did you listen to me? NOOOO. No one listens to me.
But now you know. ALL of you know.
Pizza must be stopped.

Reading that makes me never want Pizza Hut again. I'll stick to Papa John's or Domino's from now on.
