Apropos of Nothing
On a beautiful early summer day here in Maine, I spent some time out on the Eastern Promenade, watching the sailboats moving to and fro. A police car or two rolled by. And I was struck by a callous but heartfelt thought:
This town has been on the upswing since professional shithead Mke Chitwood left six years ago.
=============
Chitwood was chief of police here for several years about a decade ago, leaving in 2005 for another job in Pennsylvania. He is now in Daytona Beach, Florida, and this is what he's up to.
He was, and still is apparently, an awful human being. This is personal for me because back in 2000 a friend of mine stole a few small bills during a manic episode from residents at the nursing home she worked at. Chitwood called a press conference to tell the assembled media about the awfulness of her crime: She had stolen a few tens and twenties yet he felt the need to try and destroy her. It was shocking to see him at work. Thankfully, he is gone, and the city is thriving, at least in my view.
