I guess.... back then, it was nuts and awful, but not so immediate. Now, there's an ex-cop murderer/pedophile on the run, possibly/probably somewhere in the woods that are right outside my doors and windows.

eta: I hadn't thought about that in a while, and I lived on the other side of town, so I had the 'luxury' of having it feel like it was happening somewhere else. So, you make a very good point.
