To put it another way, even though the rates of murder and other violent crime are quite low, but when something does happen (Snowtown, the Beaumont kids, etc) it tends to be grisly and creative enough to get media attention. Our murderers embody a spirit often heard among the city's prouder residents: we're fewer in number but that much more artistic, classier even, than the rest of the country. p .K. 13:15, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
