After thinking about it, melensdad's statement seems to make the most sense when it comes to frequency of violence. And he's right, the most frequent violent crimes and murders happen in low-income, minority areas. Take Chicago for example. No rich white guy would ever be caught dead walking around the South side around 121st and area. Okay, he'd be caught dead, just not walking. School shootings were frequent in Urban schools in places like Compton and such. It didn't hit "mainstream media" until Colombine. The obvious reason is it happened in an upscale, suburban, predomenatly white school. Then the People were outraged. But it happened in a place where that sort of thing NEVER happened.
Besides the episode where the cop was killed on 38th Street by the gunman with the AK, you NEVER hear of someone blazing a full-auto mowing down everyone in sight in Indianapolis. Let alone a Colts game. But whos to say it won't happen? With the chance of a Nationwide terrorist assault at it's highest levels why take the chance? No we can't live in fear, but we have to determine if the risk is worth the reward. Do you really need to take your family of 20 to the Colts game, spending 5000 dollars, and take the chance? Or is it just better to find someone with a Big screen and a big backyard and have a cook out?
