We have ATV gangs and nightclub stabbings. I'd consider that a relative victory?

Did I say this state was perfect and free of crime? No, am I saying it’s better with crime compared to other states, perhaps a bit yeah. Am I biased? Perhaps, I’ve been around to a few states but never lived in any. So what’s your point? To point out it’s not as great as it looks because I’m not saying that. I’m saying I appreciate this state and everything it has to offer even with its shortcomings, cons and all

Way less crime because of way less people.

The crime rate, which takes the number of people into account, is also low, not just the raw crime numbers.

RI could not support the population that would balance the crime out.

So are you saying more people would lead to less crime or more balanced or?

What I’m saying is the amount of crime is relative to the size of the population in the state. Watching the news doesn’t help either. Feel good stories don’t keep people glued to the television, which in turn, doesn’t make for good advertising sales. The amount of violent crime is relative to wherever you live. It’s the fires, floods, abductions, murders, drug deaths, political b.s. that people tune in for. It’s also a way the media manipulates us and keeps us divided.
