I Guess it Really Isn't That Bad...

Gun Shy was posting on a local news website in their comments section, and a local reader accused me of being negative about the greater Orlando area in reference to reporting about crime, and told me if I didn’t like it, I should leave. My first thought was, can people be so desensitized that they can’t see what is happening here? This morning I went to the same website to see if maybe I was being a bit over critical, and here is a sampling of this mornings headlines.

Maybe it is just me, and I guess maybe I should be more appreciative. I need to work on getting over the numerous vehicle thefts, break ins, armed robberies, stabbings, shootings, home invasions, and drive by shootings that have occurred in the "nice area" that I am living in the last 6 months. Maybe I just need to lighten up... now can someone please take me to my happy place?
