my small town is falling apart! is yours?

[Anonymous]

I live in a town of roughly 50,000 I am a city girl so to me this is small, it used to be a very quiet town even with all the people. Within the last 2 months we have had a drug raid, busting 75 people, 10 deaths from heroin, 2days ago someone Hung themselves in the backyard of the house across the street, (we know the ppl across the st. Noone knew who this person was.), and a man hogtied his kid Hung him from a porch and let his neighbors vicious (it was trained to be vicious, I have 2 pitts and they are amazing loving dogs) attack the child, among many other various crimes that "just don't happen here".

This sickens me!!

How is it changing where you live?

Why does everyone assume people on B/C don't pay for it? I paid $45 out of pocket per month.

I did do my research. I went through Romneys voting record. That was enough for me.

I am thrilled you like your birth control. Please feel free to pay for it yourself. No one in the other party has any designs on making women barefoot and in the kitchen, but if you have downed enough of the cool aid, I can see where you get that. The original post may not have been political, but the ramifications of our gov'ts failure to do as they promised is the exact reason we are seeing things like this. Do some research. And I don't mean on moveforward.org or any other leftist bs spewing sites. Check the facts.

yeah i noticed it  starting to go downhill after id graduated from high school. not sure if you would consider my town small, it is compared to  other much larger cities. alot more violence, gangs, drugs, meth has over run many places, up the street an older couple my parents had known and had rented a house to their daugter before (they had to evict her in court) just got raided and busted to do with gang crap and drugs, like a criminal enterprise they had been watching, tracking building massive case for nearly 20 years on them...  gruesome murders, murder suicides, oh and of course violence against women, yeah ..... that almost didnt surpize me that  lawton,ok made #8 on a  national list of most dangerous cities for women... with so many other large big cities it is kinda nuts to see lawton  on there as im not sure most people have heard of  much or know lawton, oklahoma. its depressing we made that list. its still getting worse here too

 The biggest change we've had in our small town is the house across the road is up for sale now. There aren't even 200 people in our town though :)

The population of where I used to live/grew up in is 3,055,745 so yeah 53,417 is small IMO.
