Not worried. Even in 2001, there was more of a risk dying of being hit by a car than of a terrorist attack in the US.[/quote]
I know some people who are really concerned about terrorism and crime. They live in safe suburban areas and turn to local news everyday. They post and repost crime stories everyday day. Obsession.
Maybe I’m out of touch, but i don’t know anything about local crime because I don’t watch local news. I only read business and real estate sections of local papers online.[/quote]I have the same problem, FIH, except that my “offenders” are addicted to cable “news” networks. I have had to tell a couple of people not to text me anymore with garish photos from FoxTV and OAN :=0
It’s not that I have my head in the sand, but I lived the “crime and punishment” thing 40 hrs per week for decades. I get it but have been “desensitized.” Unless some tragedy happens within 50 yards of my house, I won’t be paying attention to it. I don’t even care about neighbors’ vehicle break-ins cuz I park in the garage. They walk around warning everyone who will listen but they made their own problems due to their garage being stuffed with junk. Nor do I care about new “registered sex offenders” moving in around me. (I get these e-mail warnings from my credit-monitoring service every couple of months.) I’ve posted before here that I don’t care if a “PC 290 registrant” moves across the street from me and sets up a telescope in his LR window. Go for it!
