Do you think the national media reports from a cornfield in Iowa? Most are pretty desensitized to urban crime since they mostly come from large urban areas. A couple kids robbing some guys with a fishy story is a non-issue when one of the biggest stories of the year is a terrorist who tried to blow up a plane over your city.
