What in the hell is going on around here?

What in the hell is going on around here?
Background for the un-initiated:

November 2010 saw Francisco Rivero elected on platform of transparency and reform with the help of an indicted pot grower and a character assassination blog. Not quite our proudest day but not as bad as some other days. Actually the jury is still out on this one so stay tuned.
Francisco didn't like anything or anyone remotely associated with the former Sheriff so he set out wiping the slate clean by changing the deputies uniforms, destroying the Office of Emergency Services, firing volunteer reserves, demoting some officers and promoting others, taking away correctional officers guns and coffee then giving them a cartoon badge, unplugging the kitchen at the Lowerlake substation,alienating every other law enforcement agency in this county and those of neighboring Mendocino, picking fights with local government officials and squabbling with the state and the county over courthouse security which it turned out wasn't his call.

And then things got weird.

Clearlakes Criminal Island Solution

Crime fighting superhero island deployed.
Floating island specialist Shirley Howland has imagineered a cure for what ails quasi-city Clearlake and her plan is nutty enough it just might work.

The way it works, according to Shirley, is that you put a bunch of floating islands around the shoreline and it stops crime.

Evidently she got the idea from Supervisor Jeff Smith somehow. Poor Jeff, must really suck to have Clearlake happen on your watch.

So these islands are pretty trick, they float around stopping crime and letting the ducks and stuff have a place to crawl out of the muck from time to time.

Not being a criminal mastermind like Howland I'm a bit unclear as to how the islands prevent the baddys from doing naughty stuff that police don't like.

I guess crooks are afraid of floating islands or something, perhaps all those bad guys are just so enamored with the odd islands they forget to break the law or maybe you use em like little min Alcatraz islands and exile the criminals out there off the shore.
Criminals prepare to leap from bridge to escape crime busting island.
Anyhow, Shirley says that the islands could be a whole industry creating jobs and stuff for Clearlake so maybe she's thinking just hire all the criminals and that way they'll be too darn busy to go cook speed or dismantle bikes or whatever.

Course the downside might be that without all that extra creative time the tweakers wouldn't be able to spend so much time with doodling, puzzle books and ripping off the neighbors.
