This is thought provoking.
Thought provoking & depressing. I am lucky to live in a small town with a square & wonderful independently owned shops and restaurants. Safe and great shopping. We live about an hour away from Memphis & the crime, over the holidays especially, was absolutely brazen & shocking. A single friend of mine lives right outside Memphis & told me she was going later in the evening to do some shopping at Target. I yelled & said don’t! She finally relented.
I do not see crime decreasing. I can’t blame people shopping online. I do it to. If you don’t feel safe going to a brick & mortar store what other option is there? I am so angry at what criminals have done to this country & their ages go down now to even pre teen. Something’s got to give.
