No, it was *not* there.
It was only after the city slicker commuters started moving here that we had any ‘crime’.
We really only have negligible crime now.
Pardon me for living in a heavily armed, yard dog infested Hillbilly Paradise where only complete idiots dare to pull any crap.
Don’t presume to know what my area is like.
So, your claims that it is alright simply because of a low crime rate are simply nonsense.
It is irresponsible of any parent to place a helpless 4year old child in a state where he is in potential danger.
That you don't see that is quite revealing of your own character.
