any members in Montana

I used to do crime mapping so I was painfully aware of homicide rates and where and what triggered them. And that's only reported ones. As I found out, increasing the police increases the crime. (More cops, more reports written - so no, not the actual crime, just the stats)

That's interesting.  Out of curiosity, did that include Montana at all?  And if so, how did that state stack up?  

No, not Montana. I only worked on a few cities. Mainly San Diego, but for comparison, a few big cities (Seattle, SF, LA, Chicago...) as well

"If you have ever watched that series Yellowstone (which I will not watch anymore and absolutely cannot stand), every once in a while, when they are tossing names about to try to add "realism" to that farce, they would refer to Bozeman."

Well said Immatthewj.  

I used to get in trouble at that age but survived it, luckily. It was mostly my fault being in the wrong place in the wrong time - knowingly. We are only young once...

Ah, the Missoula shooting incident.  Sneaking into open garages at night is not a good idea, and as a property owner it would make me quite angry (but I keep my garage closed and locked so it does not happen to me)  but to me it sure doesn't seem like something to get shot to death over.  And evidently the jury felt the same way.
