    I haven't seen any statistics which support that. Plus news was packed with murder and mayhem back in the day.

    The moral fabric that holds civil society together is failing, so plan accordingly.

    I don’t run south either I stay in same lanes and maybe once every few months I stay in a truck stop for parking. I fuel at no name stops and park in areas I know I can park away from everyone for the most part.
    No offense but I can stand being around most drivers or most people. I stay to myself and usually home a few nights a week and most of the weekends.

    People have been saying that since the 1950's, but it still hasn't actually happened once yet.

    Never really had an issue overall in almost 30 years. I think paying attention to your suroundings can prevent most problems.I also live the oppsite of most. I try to be moving at night. I like to be taking my 10 off so that but 10 pm or so I'am hittting it down that long lonesome highway.

    Hey man, I watch the “news” and civil war is just around the corner!

    Seriously, though it’s looks bad on TV, but in real life I don’t see it. Be a critical thinker and observer of your environment and you might be alright. I don’t subscribe to Critical Race Theory and “defund the police” and all the useful idiots that spout that divisive message.

    Civil war is always just around the corner whenever the "wrong people" are in charge. It's just that now there's an Internet to amplify the message to those who are attuned.

    The news rooms have a sayying, If it bleeds it leads, they put the crap on to attract viewers, news or internet. Just keep the 1911 with a round in the chamber, and keep on truckin..... The gun dont scare me at all, it should scare the guy on the otherside of the door.
