I don't leave my doors unlocked because I know my stuff will end up missing. Locks keep honest people honest.
Just because something looks harmless doesn't mean it is.

Life must be good in your world then. Living where I live I see theft, vandalism, drugs, prostitution, drunkenness, assault, shootings and other crimes on a weekly basis. The news is full of stories from my neighborhood.

I rarely have a night when I don't hear gun shots.

Just to give a further example of how bad some people are (as if we need more proof), there were photos circulating online supposedly of Amanda's autopsy.

This is just so freakin' sick, just so freakin' disgusting.

I heard the head coroner on the radio saying this was impossible, that there was no way these were photos of Amanda's body. But whether they were legit or not, why the hell would anyone want to post something like that?

Makes me want to puke.

The wheels of justice turn slowly... but finally there have been charges laid.
