Also some of the murders were drug related from drug deals from across the boarder.
Actually A US based TV program, 48 hours aired the Highway of Tears episode this past Sunday. From what I saw, most of these murders have not been solved, and the suspects were locals. I didn't see any mention of cross border drug deals. They were local drug dealers. These murders/disappearances have been going on since 1969. I sounds like a pretty scaring place to me. We certainly don't have that problem where I live. I don't even lock my doors. At work, several people leave their keys in their car ignitions. The crime problems you perceive in the US are not prevalent everywhere.
Many years ago a I had a discussion with a friend from Montreal about crime in the US vs Canada which have a similar land mass. He said it was simple math.. The US has more than 10 times the population of Canada. 10 times the people equate to more problems. Also he mentioned that most of Canada's population is centered in a few large cities that indeed have serious and continuing crime problems. It's the same in the US, large cities foster more crime.
This discussion is about carrying concealed firearms. I personally don't, as I don't feel the need, however, if I lived anywhere near the Highway of tears with 18 murders of young women, and drug dealers having their heads removed, I would certainly think about carrying a gun. Oh wait! I forgot you had that RIGHT taken from you... Now only the murders have the guns.
Gawd I just spent 4grand on a tv and all that's on is murder and conflict and guess where all the streams are from?
