I've lived in a big city for years now. Never seen anybody get mugged, or shot, or carjacked, despite doing activist work that often has me visiting poor minority neighborhoods.

The only time I ever really felt uneasy was when I had to walk alone at night through a neighborhood where all the businesses had bars on the windows. Worst thing that happened was a couple of people asking me for money, and they didn't give me any shit when I said I didn't carry cash.

But any time I visit the small town where I grew up there's always someone or another acting like I came back from a fucking warzone lmao

    I don't remember if it was on here, but I've seen someone say that whole song is ironic because small towns are the easiest place to get away with crimes since nowadays they're mostly populated by libertarians who don't give a fuck about anyone else to the point that they won't report a crime they witness no matter how bad
