I got my Live Scan fingerprints done today, and the form sent off to the California DOJ. While doing so, the fingerprint specialist needed to type my address into the system. When I reviewed what he typed, he asked, "Heard some trouble in your area the other day?"
"Yes, there were a lot of sirens a couple of days ago. I never did find out why."
"Murder," he responded.
"Man," I said.
What do you say to that? It is a little startling to find out that your normally very well protected and safe neighborhood has had a heinous crime within blocks of where you live. Now, granted, we still rank as one of the top 2 safest cities in the country in heinous crimes (last stat I can find says we are the #1 safest, but a news report on channel 5 said that another city was, so I don't know), but it shakes your confidence to know one happened so close by.
The question I have to ask is this-- did it happen on the other side of Jamboree? Because everyone knows that you are 94% more likely to be killed in Tustin than you are in Irvine. ;-)

ReplyDeleteI think I will assume it was in Tustin. I want to keep picturing Irvine as safe.
