[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you are more concerned about the security of mass produced products than people being murdered by the government, you're not going to get sympathy.

Speak for yourself. Looting, assault, attempted murder, and arson aren't exactly doing wonders for civilization. To you it's a bunch of gucci bags. To others it's a breakdown in the rules and norms and public order that human beings need for society to function safely for everyone. I hope "The Government" prosecutes these people hard. [/quote]

It hurts the businesses in those areas (including employees who work there and people who shop there). It negatively affects residents and tourists who want to enjoy the area. It creates a downward spiral of crime. Insurance premiums go up for all sorts of businesses. Police officers (who aren’t all evil despite some narratives) are putting their own safety in danger.

But it feels good to try to act morally superior by making this about consumerism so people will tout this garbage while patting themselves heartily on the back.[/quote]

ok, MAGA.   :roll: [/quote]

Dems don't want safety and security in their communities?[/quote]

I want my community secured [i]from[/i] Dems. They’re the ones committing the crime where I live. [/quote]

Statistically you are more likely to be the victim of a violent crime in a town of fewer than 100k than in a city. You know, the MAGA-filled sh*tholes of America.

Statistically, the violent crime rate in Baltimore, MD, is 15.5.  The violent crime rate in Cumberland, MD is 6.07.  And that only began to increase when the families of prisoners followed them to the Maryland state prison near Cumberland.

Nobody said every small town.

The most dangerous city in Maryland is Ocean City, an Atlantic resort town in Worcester County. The town's population is roughly 6,844, with a total crime rate that is 401% above the national average.[/quote]

This is why most people can't be trusted with numbers. What might be different about Ocean City? Oh yeah, its population can go from that 6,844 to 300,000+ on a nice summer weekend because its a city of hotels. 
"During the summer, Ocean City becomes the second most populated municipality in Maryland, after Baltimore."[/quote]
