Here is a recent blog post about the Tucson crime rate by a foreign girl I once went to school with. I totally enjoyed reading it. It definitely correlates with this link…
My all summer session is over. I am very relaxing now. I took 11 credit this summer. Intensive summer classes were really hard, but I learned a lot! I need to stay here in Tucson Arizona one and 6 months more. I feel that kind of long, becasue I am getting tired of this high crime situation. Drag, robber, those kinds of stuff are verywhere. I can not relax even enter the summer holidays. My friend who married with american says, Tucson is not the place to grow our kids, so before I get kid, I would move to Japan. When I was staying Minnesota, I felt really comfortable, people are nice, I felt safe in most places. Why Tucson became that dengarous city? The reason is probably it is near the Mexico border. There are many illegal immigrants breaking thorough border, some of them are die of heat in the desert, some of them are succeeded to arrive the city and do whatever they want. Tucson is getting bigger, population is increasing every year. I heven’t happened anything bad on me, but I hate guys talk to me not very nice ways. If this city is really safe, many pretty girls are going to walk out, even at night time. Then, guys are able to talk with those pretty girls, but while crime rates is high, that not going to happen, never. I turned in writing paper about gun control issue in my summer session. My teacher said, I have a gun, but if guns took away from all of good people, I don’t know what’s that going to be… Why can’t we take away guns from all of bad guys. What is the best way to improve public peace in Tucson? I hate to think about that….
