When crime is committed, and they interview people in the neighborhood. The first line out of their mouths is. "This is such a quiet neighborhood".

They're trying to protect property values.
If they say, "This shit happens all the time," they'll never unload that house.

I'll sell it like Thunderdome!
My neighborhood was a quiet neighborhood until a frickin' car exploded.
I think criminals often like to take advantage of such places, so it's true many times when people say it

Also, if it did happen in the neighborhood all the time, it's not really a story.

So....if bad people go to good areas to do bad things....what makes the bad areas bad in the first place...?

These are the same folks who say, "We never would have expected it from such a quiet kid. He always kept to himself." when a kid goes on one of these shooting rampages.
They're also the same ones who live on a floodplane and get washed out of their homes every six years when the river crests over the levee. They always rebuild in the same spot.
They just aren't too bright.

Here is one that happened this past Monday.
A woman was attacked by three people between the ages of 14-17. It happened around 9 pm while she walked down a dark alley.
They interviewed someone who lived nearby. This what she said.
"We live in a safe neighborhood, nothing ever happens around here. My sons and husband were home at the time, they did not hear anything. Also our dog was inside normally he starts barking if something is wrong".
If nothing ever happens then why would the dog be barking?

It IS quiet until a crime is commited and people are forced to pay attention.

Bad areas are places good people dont go, like wildebeast crossing a croc river. Occasionally the crocs come OUT of the river and F&*% Sjit up on the river bank and the beasts are like "this was such a nice water hole, WtF?!"

Hm.
I had a stabbing on my block a bunch of months back but it was the result of an arguement inside that Mexican night club. I wasn't entirely worried about the affair since it wasn't really random violence and I would never be in that place.
So...is that the equivalent of a croc fighting another croc in the mud that the wildebeasts don't go in...? And how do hippos fit into this?
It's a crocodile smacking into the side of an oxpecker (or similar bird that thrives through picking the shit off the corporate hippo) whilst lunging for a wildebeest.
Please somebody draw that. :laugh:

I see the ox, where's the pecker?
Sometimes crocodiles eat snakes adn the wildebeast goes "holy sjit, Ken. Did you see that croc eat the snake? Wilde!"

I can draw it if the oxpecker has genital warts. :)

Heh. If future-peoples found that picture they would think that you worshipped the ox-bird symbiot and that doom came from the water.
Also, the crocs front paw looks a little wonky. You might want to work on the shading...

The most disturbing thing about that picture's existence is that I'm actually quite proud of the wildebeest.

More importantly, what the hell is she doing walking alone down a dark alley? Don't these people ever watch TV?!?
Sure, you should be able to walk down a dark alley alone... but why the hell would you want to tempt fate?

Are the oxpecker and the rare -- quite possibly endangered -- Human-Faced, Withered-Leg Wildebeest both flying?

You know, funny thing, but it's almost like you're insinuating I can't draw. :sure:
Look at the musculature on that wildebeest! I didn't even use the eraser! How you can look at that and not be literally floored by the power of the composition is beyond me. It's rousing in its use of colour and dramatic tension.
Stupid comics people with your stupid ability and shit. :mad:

P.S. The cheque is in the mail.
