[QUOTE="CobraBob, post: 10199370, member: 6727"] I have to disagree a bit that we're just hearing more of what's been going on all the time. Accept it or not, the decay of morals in this country has resulted in an increase of violent crime and murder. Example. I remember back in the '80s talking to my wife's godfather who was retiring as a cop. He told me in his over 40 years of being a cop, he never once ever had to pull his gun out of its holster. Never once had to visit a murder scene. Only a couple of times ever had to scuffle with anyone. His point was that he and his fellow cops were even then starting to see an increase of violent crime in our city. Fast forward to today and even though I don't live in that city any longer, violent crimes and even murders are committed all the time. People lock their doors today. People, on average, didn't have to lock their doors back then. So while I definitely agree that with enhanced media coverage we're hearing more reports of violent crime, we certainly only hear a small percentage of it. The biggest issue is how people today have a much lesser value for life, a dulled sense of right and wrong, and a lack of restraint. JMO. [/QUOTE]
