What most people would consider a tragedy, citizens of Gotham perceive as a blessing. Gotham City's Mayor, Ireland I. Ellerby*, was sadistically murdered in his home office Friday evening. A large number of people gathered in the streets and put on an impromptu parade to celebrate. Many are calling for a statue of the assassin to be erected where Ellerby's home once stood, which was also burned to the ground by the assassin that same evening. The police had an opportunity to arrest the killer, but they were too smitten with the knowledge that the mayor was dead. One officer remarked quite casually, "I know I was supposed to shoot the guy, but how could I? He did us all a huge favor!" As a result, the assassin has yet to be identified.
Mayor Ellerby's funeral will be held next Friday, God willing that it isn't protested by the citizens of Gotham.
*not to be confused with the Gotham City Knights shooting guard, The Mayor
