All in all I guess it's not too bad. I am not worried even in the worst of neighborhoods the next town up. But...
I hear that my county is the worst for child porn, and crystal meth in MI.
I do not know if that is complete horseshit, or not. But I know my old college roomie who's homeland security has been over here a few times to the west coast of MI to deal with both those issues.
Occasionally we get the nut who is running down a major ave with guns, or someone finds a head chopped off or some other crazy shit a time or two a year. But that's nothing compared to Battle Crack, the next town over, aka Cereal City.
Over there they have had rapes on major roads, and in front of the mall. People shooting at school buses, a number of murders for a town that small and shit like that.
Madness.
