Then there are the weekly re-caps of the prior weeks/months news and the same incidents are reported again.
Add to the above the repetitive threads sometimes about the same event.
All together it seems like more than the isolated incidents really are. It has been said many times that for a community of our size we are among the safest and lowest crime rates.
Many cities in the world would aspire to level of real security we have here in TV....including the places we grew up and or moved from.
Let's keep informed but let us not distort the true reality of the life style that we have here.
There is no intent on my part to minimize those who have been violated....having had it happen to us many years ago in a different state, it really does shake one's confidence and scares the sensibility from us.
Just lobbying for perspective.

Excellent observation about the repetitive posts and reports...one that I share as well, but hesitated to comment on.
Communication is a wonderful thing, and with the Internet it can be very fast...and also slow... Something that gets "reported" today, may go by word of mouth through several people then get posted again here next week, by someone who just heard about it, thinking it is a new incident. We all need to put things in perspective...Like you said, not to minimize the hurt to those who have been victimized...I also feel that pain (from many years ago) as if it was yesterday.
