Exactly. We have one of the lowest crime rates in the world here. If a violent crime were to occur here it would be all over the media. People would be taking about it for weeks. When that same crime occurs in Detroit, they call it another Saturday night.
The fact that there is so much buzz about this shows that we live in a very safe community. I'm not naive and think that crimes don't happen here, but we are much safer here than in almost any community in this country. Especially communities of over 100,000 people.
