You really should think over saying that a little more. It's a big country and shovels and lye are cheap.

You can thank Dick Wolf for the copaganda that murders and violent crimes get solved, but the reality is most don't. It's just uncomfortable to consider how ineffectual the police are given they consume huge portions of local and state budgets.
When my friend was murdered(his dad attacked him, he fought back, and his dad shot him.) The cops knew his dad was a violent alcoholic, and that his son was trying to move out.
Except the dad was the only witness, and despite many people's statements about abuse and alcoholism in the household it was declared self defense due to "lack of evidence." He's free to walk around continuing to drink himself to death. Piece of shit.
My point is sometimes they don't even solve it correctly when the killer is standing right there.
The legal system is a fucking joke.
Sorry about your friend
Thank you
Oh absolutely, in my city (in Canada) we have the highest paid and least effective cops in the country. Our cops will gear up like they're in Afghanistan to arrest old grandmas in Fairy Creek but call them about an assault and see if you get someone that night.
