Yep, there are no evil people and nothing bad ever happens in The States. </sarcasm>
I know you were being sarcastic--the difference in the evil that happens here, and the evil that happens elsewhere is the type of help we can hope to get from LE. I know there are Mayberry's here that would protect the local Sherrif's kid, I mean look in Orange County for an example of what appears to be some serious cover ups. Ted Kennedy is another huge *hee hee* example. Bad stuff happens, we come across sociopaths, we make a right turn instead of a left turn and things happen. I just think the lack of real assistance to the Halloway/Twitty families is intentionally awful with almost no way to go up the ladder to get a different response.
