Which made me wonder: anybody know what the stats were for Indianapolis during the same time period? A time period when a whole bunch of bitter-clinging, gun-toting, evil NRA members flooded the area? Just curious. Kinda bet I can guess, even taking into account the fact that Indy is a smaller city.
I know with 75,000+ there were NO incidents... :-)
ReplyDeleteAlthough there were probably plenty of "I want!"s as people drooled over new toys.
DeleteOh there was DEFINITELY that... sigh
DeleteI'm sure there was blood running in the streets in Indy; that's what all the fear-mongers predict, every year.
ReplyDeleteYep - gunnies are terrifying.
DeleteI came back home with the same amount of holes in my body as when I arrived!
ReplyDeleteAnd various impolite retorts come to mind...:-)
DeleteOne of the IMPD officers outside the convention center mentioned that it was real quiet crime-wise in the downtown area during the convention. He didn't wonder why either.
ReplyDeleteA stick-up could go horribly wrong for a bad guy...
DeleteIt's always a lot quieter when the bad guys know the good ones are armed. I have homes in both Indy and Chicago. I feel a whole lot safer in Indy.
ReplyDeleteHomeowners in Detroit have shot so many intruders recently that I wonder if the crooks are considering moving someplace safer like Chicago or Baltimore.
