Our community is six hours west of Chicago......conservative farming/family values. In recent years Chicago began exporting their low income crime prone citizenry all over the mid west. Our town suddenly had the distinction of being known as a murder capital after several high profile killings from former Chicago residents. At one time folks left their homes unlocked and trusted the neighbors.....now everyone is packing because cities like Chicago exported the criminal scum. Local County attorney told me that Cook County wouldn't prosecute the criminals, just a catch and release program. BY the time they reached our area, it was a way of life where they never experienced punishment for their actions.
