My favorite Thom Murphy speech:

http://longbeach.granicus.c...

Go to about 1 hour 40 minutes into the meeting. There had just been a
shooting on Pine Ave. and Jimmy (From George's Greek) is there to
complain. Each council district chimes in with tales of how bad crime is
in their districts and then Murphy pipes up with this seemingly
nonsensical story about how it used to be....ending in "Please, children
of all schools, put down your weapons. We need to work together and be a
little more neighborly. If you must use a weapon, please join a branch
of the Armed Services. They could use a few more good men. Thank you."

Amazing.
