Well, first, because he looks great in Billy Reid. But, more import, because he does work like this. I remember, in the wake of Senior Cpl. Norman Smith’s death, reading this news account of the apartment complex in which Smith was shot and reading this editorial in the News. And I remember thinking that the apartment’s owner, Alex Stolarski, must be a real slumlord scumbag. Taken together, the news story and the editorial pretty much laid the blame for Smith’s death at Stolarski’s feet.
Jim Schutze this week shows what an injustice was done to Stolarski by the News. Let’s just start with the fact that Schutze found out that the crime rate in Stolarski’s apartment is one-third what it is in surrounding complexes. There’s much more.
If you read the News stories when they were published, you owe it to yourself to read Schutze’s column. And you owe it to Stolarski.
