The tragic part is law-enforcement is spread so thin nothing will come of this...the bad guys will just keep doing it...
It's amazing they even picked up the phone for it!
I live in a relatively SAFE small town in rural PA.
We have TWO police cars in our township....maybe 6 officers? That is thin.
We have a volunteer Fire Dept - we pass the hat, attend chicken dinners and buy raffle tickets...and we have a private ambulance. (you get the bill later, and hopefully people pay)
We are basically "on our own" out here as that is all we can afford...
For all of that, we still have it pretty good here. There is a good "social contract" here in place where people come to the aid of each other, as we know very little is coming from anywhere else!
