WTF....bus rider decapitates fellow passenger...

If the crime rate was as low as it was during the REAL wild west, we would be in good shape, because in reality crime was very low.

For the entire period of the so-called wild west circa;1871-1886, there were only 47 homicides between Toombstone and all the other notorious western towns combined. In reality they were some of the safest places in the country. It's like a writer who traveled from England to record the events at the time wrote;" The American West is in fact not wild at all, the reason I believe is that a society where every man is armed tends to be a polite society."

The below is not the exact info I wanted to locate, but it is similar.




Myth No. 7: Killings and other violent crimes were prevalent in the Old West because guns were so plentiful.

From 1870 to 1885, the era of the Wild West when "everybody wore a gun," arrest rates per 100 residents were much lower in the West than in eastern cities. Moreover, "the Western frontier was a far more civilized, more peaceful, and safer place than American society is today." Contrary to the impression left by movies and Western novels, crime and homicides were rare. For example:


•In 1880 wide-open towns like Virginia City, Nev., Leadville, Colo., and Dallas had no homicides.

• By comparison, Cincinnati had 17 homicides that year.

• From 1870 to 1885, the five Kansas railheads of Abilene, Caldwell, Dodge City, Ellsworth and Wichita had an average of three per year - a lower homicide rate than New York City, Baltimore and Boston.

• Sixteen homicides were committed by duly authorized peace officers, and only two towns " Ellsworth in 1873 and Dodge City in 1876 " ever had as many as five killings in any one year.


With a few legendary exceptions, law enforcement officers in the Old West were rather ineffective. Still, there were few robberies, thefts or burglaries in western towns, primarily because almost everybody carried or possessed firearms and was willing to resist.
"The citizens themselves, armed with various types of firearms and willing to kill to protect their persons or property, were evidently the most important deterrent to larcenous crime," said one author.
Unlike "Gunsmoke's" Matt Dillon, the much-heralded western peace officer actually faced fewer problems than his counterpart elsewhere.
The westerner, said one student of the era, "probably enjoyed greater security in both person and property than did his contemporary in the urban centers of the East."

"It's a fairly recent idea that guns aren't a good thing," says Jon Weiner, a professor of history at the University of California.

They charged him with SECOND DEGREE Murder. So, he might get what, 10 years in prison?

10 yrs minimum. I talked to my friend and he said that the person charged if convicted will be eligible for parole in 10 yrs with a sentence of 25 years to life in prison.

At this time the court is going through the needed motions towards conviction. This is the best case sceniario for conviction with 36 witnesses of the gruesome act.

I'm sorry but if there was ever a case that would justify the populace rising up and lynching a monster this is it.

We have a monster here that murdered four innocent people practically on vidio that was going to be dealt with but the plan was compromised.

There are too many decent people that are falling on hard times to be wasting resources on these deviant Bastards.
