re: Woman murdered on hiking trail in Arizona UPDATE: suspect arrested - convicted felon

Don't kid yourself on Maine, it's only low on violent crime because the population is rural.

They are extremely soft on violent crime. Look at the 10 time violent offender that shot up the interstate after quadruple murder Just a couple of weeks ago.

It would happen a lot more often if they had a bigger population even despite their demographics. It is a massive welfare state and the rates of drug addiction and mental illness are way too high as well. And their politicians are dead set on forcing a demographic shift. They are damn lucky that the people from Angola, Congo, etc. That they import, hate the cold.

New Hampshire is way better despite having 'more crime' on paper. Ditto for usual suspects Idaho, Montana, etc.
