Frankly, the bomb threat is not as big a concern for me as the brazen nature of the other recent crimes. A mugging/purse snatching, with injuries, in broad daylight in a mall parking lot is scary on every level. The burglary with people sleeping in the house was brazen, as was the burglary when the residents were in church. I've always felt safe in the bubble, but I feel much less safe now. I think that the local low-life's may now be recognizing the population of TV as ripe targets, which tells me we probably need a larger, more visible police presence, expanded community watch, more surveillance cameras, etc. As a libertarian it pains me to think this way, but that's what I'm feeling right now.
