Camping Safety
Not politics. Is it as safe to travel these days in an RV as in prior decades. I used to say 10% of any population are bad but 90% are good. It feels like that 10% has changed to 30%. Or is the media ...

Don't blame it on the media.
My comments are based on nearby events.
As to the facts: Baton Rouge population 227000
Crime index 2 (100 is safest)
Chance of becoming victim of violent crime 1 in 108
Chance of becoming victim of property crime 1 in 21
3 times the national average in burglary, theft, and car theft
6 times the national average in murder
3 times national average in robbery
Nearly 3 times national average in assault
No my friends it is not the media's fault. It is society's fault.
Maybe not in your area but at least in Baton Rouge the bodies are in fact piling up.
I have not had the hankering to camp on the wrong side of the tracks in Baton Rouge for quite awhile, or Detroit MI either.
