I live there and yea it's pretty safe (you can leave your car key in your car overnight and never worry), we used to not even lock the doors at night. Most crimes are crimes against the state, hell moonshine used to be very popular here until just a few decades ago. But once you get to the really poverty striken areas the crime goes up like crazy. The super poor that people think of don't live here anymore. Living off of the land like they used to is just not feasible these days.

It's all about poverty, period.
Isn't moonshine that thing where you show your butt trought the window of your car?
I genuinely cannot tell if this is a joke
