Midnight, look up where Bill lives... 2010 census puts the population a little over 3000 people. The piddly podunk town closest to us has 3200+ by the same census, but, it's not all that far (20 miles or so) from  Memphis so we see all the big city crime spilling over into our area. It's gotten bad enough that state legislators are seriously considering bringing back county militias... and there is a huge push to do away with "gun free zones" away from the big cities (Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville, Bristol).

Local news reported that Memphis is now averaging 2 homicides a day during the work week... like the hood rats here actually work... an average weekend sees 3-10.

Not unexpected, huge influx of "people" returning from Deadtroit and Chicongo.

And its the apartments and subdivisions and the fact that there is a medium term transient population. Like they live in the house for 3-5 years ... in a way they dont care what happens ...

I know many marriages like that too. I've married her/him for the next 3-5 years.

Cool.
