[speaker002:] uh how how's the crime rate up there
[speaker001:] uh well we're right between uh Milwaukee and Chicago
[speaker002:] okay
[speaker001:] so there's there's just been a big Coke bust uh here because I think people pass through
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] you know on their way back and forth through the bigger cities
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] um it's it's okay I mean there's crime everywhere it it's probably not it's not you know the
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] best place to be but
[speaker002:] is it anywhere near Racine
[speaker001:] yeah it's right next to Racine
[speaker002:] really my uh old old girlfriend uh was from there
[speaker001:] oh really
[speaker002:] yeah uh actually I went I went and saw her about four years ago her parents had moved to Chicago and uh at this point they had moved out of Dallas and everything then they had moved back and she was going to school down here and I went and saw her one summer and uh we went up there
[speaker001:] uh
[speaker002:] I never been up there I just remember it's a different area from down here obviously but uh
[speaker001:] yeah oh yeah it's like ten minutes away from me
[speaker002:] uh so you're a cheese head huh yeah well we're I mean down here I mean Dallas I mean this crime rate's ridiculous I mean it's just
[speaker001:] no
[speaker002:] I'm getting ready to move actually in the probably the next year or so so I mean but
[speaker001:] really it's that bad the crime because of the crime
[speaker002:] it's it yeah I mean it isn't Washington DC but it's there's just so many uh I mean we've had like four or five uh since school started like uh in high school people uh incidents where kids shooting you know a teacher or you know since you know the school year and everything like New Year's Eve there were three people shot right away I mean like in the first ten minutes of the new year you know so
[speaker001:] wow
[speaker002:] it's just been it's ridiculous there's a lot of problems right now I mean the uh
[speaker001:] with the
[speaker002:] the police chief out here is the former assistant police chief uh Darryl Gates in LA so I mean he's not like you know beating up anybody but there's just it's a big city and it's what you know you get and there's there's just getting a lot it's getting overcrowded and there's a lot of uh immigrants from uh Mexico and stuff so
[speaker001:] oh yeah
[speaker002:] it's it's it's getting pretty ridiculous but uh I'm sure you know since you're near Chicago I'm sure you could it's not exactly a peaceful city either you know
[speaker001:] no it's not
[speaker002:] so it's the same situation really
[speaker001:] it
[speaker002:] so I'm actually in Richardson which is just north of Dallas it's a little suburb but yeah I mean
[speaker001:] it yeah it's gotten worse too nothing's getting better seems like it's always getting worse
[speaker002:] yeah I don't see how it can get better I mean it's got to totally
[speaker001:] I think it has to get worse first before it can get better
[speaker002:] yeah stricter laws or something that
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] uh
[speaker001:] they need something and it
[speaker002:] if I could solve problems I'd be a rich person but guess I can't I'm just it's one of those deals where I mean you know try to look at you know look at at other countries what they do but I mean we're not like barbarics uh I don't you know it's just too many problems with uh people getting paroled before uh you know early and coming out committing another crime while they're still on probation we've had a lot of problems out here with that course
[speaker001:] yeah I heard uh Dallas cops are really strict like
[speaker002:] well it's it's kind of yeah they shoot first then ask questions later you know that's that's their motto
[speaker001:] oh yeah whoa
[speaker002:] they're they're not uh you got to be careful if I mean I never had a problem I mean I'm not like hang just you just don't hang out in Dallas or you got to be you know where not to be at night and the you know just are certain places you don't even certain parts of town you just stay away from you know
[speaker001:] yeah same here certain parts of our city uh you just don't go by you just don't
[speaker002:] right and you just yeah you just leave it alone I mean
[speaker001:] because then you're asking for trouble
[speaker002:] oh yeah oh
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] how old are you
[speaker001:] twenty one
[speaker002:] twenty one yeah
[speaker001:] yep
[speaker002:] oh I'm twenty three
[speaker001:] twenty three
[speaker002:] yeah uh that's pretty wild right next to Racine huh
[speaker001:] yeah uh actually uh my sister lives in Racine
[speaker002:] really
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] God I never thought I would ever run into somebody look I'll read the paper every now and then and something Racine Wisconsin will pop out you know but yeah it's just kind of a little town um
[speaker001:] it's bigger than Kenosha by a little bit and their crime rate's crime rate's a lot worse than ours
[speaker002:] really
[speaker001:] yeah they just some guy uh couple months ago he got out a machete did you read about that and started just hacking people in the street with it
[speaker002:] with with the machete no I didn't hear about that
[speaker001:] yeah oh that was in Racine it's sad I mean you can't even drive or walk down the street at night or anything
[speaker002:] God well uh in Wheaton Illinois where her parents live and that's where that uh
[speaker001:] I've heard of that
[speaker002:] yeah it's just like forty five miles outside of Chicago and few years ago I guess there was some uh
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] I think it was some um some lady was like shot uh killed attacked some school children
