      Crime is EVERYWHERE. You have more crime in cities because you have MORE PEOPLE. But crime happens everywhere...

    • @SugarSugarCreek
      @SugarSugarCreek Před 8 měsíci +4

      ​@@peacheswilliams4539 ​Of course that's true, ESPECIALLY with the drug epidemic, however; even though drugs and crime exist in small towns, small town residents have a LITTLE different attitude still. Because the population is smaller, the fact that many people know one another (and can be up in everyone's business 😅) there is also a little stronger sense of community. (The same way larger cities have a strong sense of community in neighborhood schools and subdivisions/apartment complexes etc.) People are more likely to watch out for one another, noticing strangers or activities in smaller towns. Bigger cities often have the "I mind my own business or I didn't see anything " attitude as to not get involved. There are always exceptions and we can't make blanket statements that apply in all cases, but in general, this is why people believe that although crime is everywhere, some places, like smaller towns are a little safer based on a variety of demographics.

    Some old movies, no matter how good the actor, are a pitiful representation of the times! Buford Pusser, disgusting name🤮 Just so many lines & scenes that make me glad, times have changed. Doesn't Buford want the driver to see his other 2 friends that were blinded by the illegal liquor, & then the kid is free to go...
    Not a fan of the good old days depicted in this movie😦
