Precisely!

But that would be you-know-what

Here in NW Florida, rural area north of I-10, we just had a spate of church burglaries over the last few months. Rural churches broken in to steal musical instruments, or anything of value. Here are the perps:

If such a list were drawn up in, say, 1885, Ft. Smith, Arkansas would've definitely made the top 10. Fifteen years later, it would've dropped off the list completely.

The common denominator in the quick drop off was the below pictured judicial contraption and a willingness to use it as needed:

Amish and the undocumented, our society’s lethal combination..

Property crime is typical near bases.
Thieves know when people deploy.

[DJ Taylor]

"I think the crime rate vs proximity of military bases is because of the recruiting practices over the years."

No, I think it has more to do with large numbers of young single men with large amounts of disposable income as one can find in these military bases next door to these small towns. This disposable income in the hands of young single men attracts predators who feed off this wealth. Soon after the pay raises of the mid 1960s, I observed the criminal element with their prostitution and drugs move into the areas surrounding our military bases.

Just as when you leave food laying around you'll attract rats, when you leave easy money laying around you'll attract criminals.

How did Lancaster get on the list?

The roof is a thoughtful addition. It keeps the sun wind and rain off the occupiers of the structure.

I've been to Canton, Kissimmee, Saginaw, Terre Haute, and Bowling Green.

Some have their rough spots, but Saginaw is known as Sagnasty for a reason. It's a whole different type of place.

[kearnyirish2]

That’s your call; it was no accident that the media switched the red & blue.

[Darren McCarty]

I doubt most of those are red CITIES.

[Vigilanteman]

It also ensures many years of good service for the platform.

[Gosh I love this neighborhood]

Saginaw for those who do not know, has a ... population which is ... well, diverse. Just saying.

And run by democrats.

[Chickensoup]

I am not sure there are any red cities.

[Jim Noble]

I'm from Brooklyn (originally), so maybe I notice things a bit more...

But, every time I visit Florida, I can't believe how crazy dangerous it seems. It must be that the whites in Florida do not understand, or are in denial, about how many, and how many dangerous, people there are who live right around the corner, so to speak.

Maybe some FL FReepers could enlighten me.

Damn right !

[Red Badger]

The military has always had ‘camp followers’, dating back to ancient times.......................

[Navy Patriot]

Before AlGore’s election the democrpas were always COMMIE RED

I can’t believe the GOP let them get away with switching it without a word

You are exactly correct on both points, and it was done by the American Socialist MSM responding to private DemoRat demands, BECAUSE the American public associated the color red with Communists and Communism.

DemoRats wanted to disassociate themselves with their Marxist mentors and supporters, and used the willing propaganda MSM to do so.

It’s as simple as the difference between a ‘Yankee’ and a ‘Damn Yankee’....................
