The roads are filled with armed robbers, and murders for mere plunder are of daily occurrence.

This was a scary and rare occurrence, not a pattern.

This is a daily occurrence, not just one or two reports that sometimes make the paper or the news. That's pretty intense for a county the size of Wood.

Usually the knights would build their castles above a road, just as inns are now built beside the road, the better to plunder the people going past, though admittedly in different ways.

We are not asking that roads be closed; we are not asking that sidewalks be closed; we are not asking for additional police protection,

The average taxpayer wants their potholes filled, their roads maintained, their sidewalks maintained, and under this deal that just isn't happening.
