Feel Safe: Relief is on the way

I used to blame the 24/7 world news cycle for our exaggerated fears and concerns. “We read about a murder in Australia and lock our doors and worry.” 

Well, I was wrong.

Here are the stories in my local newspaper today.

• Dad gets 50 years for killing stepdaughter
• 9-year old girl shot in both legs
• Teenager indicted in death of jailer
• Son, teen indicted in mother’s death
• Bail set for suspect in transgender killing
• 3 charged in trafficking of 14-year old girl

The good news was that we will all be safer because ICE will be conducting raids to arrest families who are subject to civil immigration orders requiring them to leave the United States.

This is much better than focusing on gangs, drug dealers, human smugglers, or people with outstanding criminal felony warrants. I feel safer already.
