Okay. Funny how news makes it seem like something is new when it isn't.
I heard crime has increased over the years but then I get told it has always been the same. People are just paranoid because it gets reported in the news, kidnapping, rape, etc.
Hitchhiking used to be safe, kids walking to school by themselves, kids going off by themselves to places in a city, now it's unsafe I hear. I remember asking what changed and why is there more crime now and I was told "because people are paranoid, they watch the news. That stuff used to not get reported on the radio or on TV often."
Bad things stand out more. We might have all noticed how they hardly report anything good. Sure they report sports and it's all neutral or good but they might report a player being injured but we all know that can happen in football or basketball, especially in baseball.
