Is crime on the rise?

[The D.O.Z.]

Nice n peaceful out here in rural areas. The only gunshots I hear out here are meant for deer, rabbits, coyotes, and trespassers. Mom & Pop stores are left unrobbed because Mom & Pop have a shotgun handy somewhere close by.

But every day I turn on the news for my background noise while making and eating dinner, there's another shooting (or 3). Another child murderer. Another chomo "in court today". Another home invasion where elderly are victimized. It's disgusting. And it's become the norm. And THAT'S sickening in itself.
