MAGIC MACGUFFINS PIERCE POLICE PROTECTION

-Street gangs pack enchanted heat

MILLENNIUM CITY. Recent increase in police fatalaties have been attributed to the fact that street gangs are starting to employ more sophisticated methods in dispatching their would-be foes. But these methods seem to go beyond the world of mere mortals. Magic bullets that cut through S.W.A.T armor, magic poisons that kill the victims in the most horrifying and lingering ways, enchanted amulets that protect even from the largest killer bullets.

"It's a question of escalation", Major Crimes Unit Lieutenant Franklin Brody commented. "We use semi-automatics, they buy automatics. We wear kevlar, they buy armor piercing rounds. This is simply the same thing, taken to the next level." All the while, the MCPD's finest scramble to apprehend these magically-enhanced gangsters, one can only ask, where are these thugs getting their toys from? / Bear Kelly

"It's a question of helping the underdog, to help those in the industry who haven't made a name for themselves", a spokesperson for CroixCorp said.
