and you will notice how Ca. places 5 cities in the top 25 ON THE SAFEST CITIES list....S.C.......i dont seem to see them anywhere .......and of course 3 of those cities are in OC....
one thing i did notice is that the 3 most populated States placed 15 cities on that list.....5 apiece....
Could it be that nobody even knows the names of the little towns in other states that are even safer then the ones you want to crow about? California is a big state. I'm sure that somewhere in that state it's safe....maybe because most of the southern part of the state is desert and mostly farmers live there. El Centro for example. Nobody else would live there. Turn off the irrigation water and that place becomes a ghost town over night.
When I played football in junior college my team and I traveled there to play against their team. We felt like we were in Eastern Kentucky. Most of my team was black and their eyes started bucking out because they could sense the prejudice. We stopped to ask for directions and the guy just looked at us like we were bringing a busload of convicts into town. They had a bunch of Red-necks on that team too. One of my white teammates overheard one of the opposing players say "******-lover" to him. Seemed everyone knew everyone in that town. Criminals would have a rough time in El Centro California. If they had trees I'm sure they'd get used every Saturday afternoon.
