You might think so.
Here in SC, we average 3 to 4 bank robberies a week, most of them in the Greenville Spartanburg area. More specifically, in Greer, where there are about 20 or so police officers to deal with about 10,000 people in the population. Almost every day, every single week, there is another "blockbuster" bank robbery. I don't want to say it's ho-hum, but, it's getting close.
It's just crap nobody cares about. Take Columbine for example. Nobody cared about school shooting till it happened to noticeable rich white kids. And then it was a friggin tragedy. Boo fricken hoo. Go to just about any ghetto or inner city projects. School shootings and stabbings are a daily fact of life, and, nobody gives a rats ass about those. Hell, on a day when 3 or 4 kids die, you would think that would make the news too... But nobody cares. And so it is here. Greer is mostly one big friggin trailer park. It's Jerry Springer land. Stuff happens here, and, nobody really cares. It's the backwards backwood rural South. And America turns a blind eye to what goes on here cause "we don't know no better." Unless it's something that is utterly outrageous like the Goose Creek school raid, it's just small time crap that nobody, and I mean nobody, loses sleep over. Greenville has one of the worst murder rates in the country. We have spectacular killings. Like Charlie Manson blood on the walls dead bodies everywhichweres and bits and chunks of body parts. It's just another death of some nobody that nobody cares about. We have trailer park serial killers. That's what we call them. And they are, at best, local celebrities. Take Hell Night. Halloween. It's a night of rape and murder. It's a night of horror. A bunch of spooks in white hoods use this night to spread their message of hate and fear. And it happens every bloody year. And you can hop right next door to Georgia and nobody has heard about it. Why? Cause nobody gives a crap.
It's not the big cities that are scary. It's the small towns that nobody notices and nobody cares about, and the day to day stuff that the outside world never sees. Especially here in the Deep South. Southern trees still bear strange fruit if you get my drift. And nobody cares.

All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
