Aren't small towns suppose to be safer??

I currently live in a small town and just the past month on the college campus (where nothing happens) gun shots were fired and then this morning someone committed murder. This is highly unusual for this town and i was wondering what everyone else thought as well

i don't think there is a such thing as a safer town. the diffrence is that people feel safer and when something happnes the people in a small town are so shocked that something like that could happen in there town.

    Some small towns are safe. Some can be small but have alot of dangerous things going on. "Big things come in small packages"

    my folks live in a rural area. After their home was robbed 3 times, they talked the matter over witn the officers.
    The police said, being in a rural area with few to no neighbors in sight of the house makes it open game for breaking and entering. They got an alarm system put in.

    Its a numbers game. The more people you have, the greater the chance of some kind of violence.

    Many small towns have violence because the kids do not have enough to do. Lived in a small town in Texas, if you were not at a football game, the Dairy Queen, the 7 11 to by beer. There was nothing there for you to do.

    I've always lived in a big metropolitan area and crime occurs on
    a daily basis. Whenever I've visited a small town, I've always felt
    safer. Not sure that is realistic based on what you've said.

    I've lived in a small town growing up, and it was full of dumb-ass rednecks, driving such trucks like this through town:


    So I don't think I can say anything else; that pic says it all.

    It's the boozing, inbred hicks I had to deal with most of my life, not contractors.
  • raves +1   [-] by GOTHOR the traveler
    nice but your previous comment seemed to be truck bashing
  • raves +1   [-] by JESTER576
    The pic does say it all. My brotherand my dad both drive trucks like that and they're not hicks! But hey, if anyone drives a truck they're a hick right? Hooray for stereotypes! :D

    they usually have less crime but also less law enforcement so they are easier targets. not that I killed those people. besides they were the ones looking at me crossways. hick jerks. got what they deserved. crap! you didnt read anything! hear me! you dont have any evidence
  • raves     [-] by Melisa

    We also have more guns and less fear. We will do whatever it takes to protect those we love. BRING IT ON AND DIE! You don't scare me or any of the other countless "hick jerks " around here . We've all got guns and would love to blow the head off of some wannabee bad ass . Or maybe you're just a smartass joking around in which case I take it back and salute your skill at smartassedness.
  • raves +1   [-] by GOTHOR the traveler
    ya ok. um do you think I was serious? I was raised in the mountains so your guns dont scare me. with my 7millrem mag I will be over a mile away with extreme accuracy. you know the sound wont come till after the blood drains right?
  • raves +1   [-] by Jerry
    Yea ,you're a real bad ass. The kind of guy who likes to piss people off on the other end of the net. It ain't workin although I would enjoy hurting you just for being a nazi. I would enjoy it a lot and really, that' s the honest truth. I'm not angry at all , just full of hatred for the 2nd half of your sodahead name.You're out there in cyberspace saying" I could blow your head off from the space station that orbits the earth with my spectacular supergun and amazing abilities as a marksman" but Sigmund Freud Told me that your penis is only 2" long .You're actually a nobody who can't intimdate anyone face to face so you act like a tough guy somewhere out there in cyberspace.
  • raves +1   [-] by GOTHOR the traveler
    nice jerry. I think you were the one who brought the guns to my joke comment. then you dont know what a 7 mil rem mag is. have you ever shot a gun? I have only really used the 7mil hunting and at the range a few times to sight in due to ammo costs. I chose my name so it would be evident where I was coming from in music discussions. dont get your panties bunched up and join the 40s war movement. we won. did you get offended and filled with hate at sienfelds soup nazi? if so could you be a bigger idiot? we could always meet up if your in CA but I doubt highly your going to hurt me chicken shit. I never asked you to comment so you can suck it
