Criminals. We are tired of your crap. Enjoy death as it hugs you with lead from our guns.

Scares the crap out of me. It seems like the crime rate just keeps going up...I keep a gun in my nightstand drawer, and know how to use it, but why should I have to? Won`t be long and the gangs are going to run all the decent people out. I wish I could afford to move the heck out of here...

You're looking at this crime rate stuff all wrong, Haus. If the crime rate goes up, property values go down, which means property taxes go down, which means it's more affordable both to buy property and maybe even to rent.

If it gets bad enough, you could be living in the Bluffs after its immiment, creative favela renovation is complete. Besides, we all have the local art to enjoy, and that stuff is super safe!

I hope to god you are being sarcastic, if not you are an idiot!

Not at all. San Angelo has great amenities. A museum. A riverwalk. Sheep art. Lots of cool stuff.

By all means, though, defend yourself. Get to know your neighbors. Report suspicious activity. Don't flaunt valuables.
