Trend, 
There is more violence in LA than most all of the south.

The great thing and the bad thing, about the US, is that everybody has
a chance to have an influence on the system if they get involved and
put their resources forward. 

I personally don't care about anybody's homosexual agenda. What I care
about are statist/socialists that use homosexual agendas (or any other
agenda: terrorism, national security, education, children, women, etc)
to further socialism. That so many prominent socialists are also gay is
an unfortunate demographic accident, much as so many prominent
communists in 1930's Germany also happened to be jewish, and so many
prominent communists and socialists in the US civil rights movement
also happened to be black. These straw man tactics are rather typical,
and are purposely developed to allow attacks on socialism and communism
to be labeled as racist, anti-semite, sexist, etc. as a means of
furthering incrementalism.

I've been all over this country, and the only truly violent people I've
ever met were drunks in bars in Chicago and LA, a rural Colorado
sheriff, the anti-busing bigots of Seattle and Boston, and the luddites
of the radical left (who, it just so happens, come from 'sophisticated'
middle and upper class families on the west coast and north-east
primarily). I've seen far more violence on the TV in LA, Chicago,
Boston, Seattle, New York, DC, Cleveland, and other so-called
'sophisticated' big cities, than I've ever seen in the media, or in
person, in all the rural areas.

The most peaceful, law abiding individuals I've ever known are gun
toting, conservative and libertarian, rural people, in all areas of the
country. These people are generally shocked at the penchant that
so-called 'sophisticates' in the big cities have for violence, and, if
they act bigoted, it is generally bigotry against big city people in
general, not against any race, gender, etc., because of this penchant
for violence that city people bring with them.
