Winburn ads blame Cincinnati city leadership for crime

The Cincinnati Enquirer is reporting that a Buckeye Firearms Association endorsee and candidate for mayor of Cincinnati has taken out television commercials that correctly focus the need for solutions to that city's crime problems on taking criminals off the streets.

From the story:

Republican Charlie Winburn's first television ad follows a series of direct mail pieces that emphasized his tough-on-crime platform and criticized Pepper's leadership on City Council. In it, Winburn accused the "current leadership" at City Hall of sitting by "helpless, while criminals target your loved ones."

"City leadership is literally playing Russian roulette with your life," the ad says. "Elect Charlie Winburn mayor, and the only thing criminals will shoot off is their mouths - in jail."

It is refreshing to see a candidate who is ready to focus on the problem - criminals - rather than the tools they use.
