Rural defense team: Crime

I think crime is really interesting. Maybe it was learning about sexual violence at a young age. Maybe it was coming home one day as a kid after church to our front door ajar. Our TV and jewelry were gone. Somehow I was most upset about the burglars’ piss on our wall. The police could not possibly have cared less. We did get our stuff back — minus one earring. The geniuses who broke down our deadbolted front door (and not our easier side door) also burglarized someone with actual power.
