Is crime much worse in East Plano than in most of DFW? (Dallas: low crime, home)

People in uptown DALLAS actually do this especially in the state Thomas neighborhood

Of their own stupidity.

Statements like this mske no sense.

You shouls safeguard agsinst criminals, but it is never your fault when someone violates you.

It's hard to tell when you mean when you deliberately go out of your way to make 3 irrelevant posts about how people are stupid even though they have done nothing wrong.

East Plano is not as bad crime wise as certain areas in Central and South Dallas. There are some run down parts of Plano, so be aware of that.

Here is my list areas in DFW to avoid. It's not meant to be comprehensive:

1. South Dallas/Fair Park: Anything near MLK Blvd and Malcolm X Blvd. South of Downtown/Interstate 30.
2. Pleasant Grove: The grove is anything but pleasant.
3. Vickery Meadow: One of the worst neighborhoods in Dallas north of Downtown.

There’s a difference between stupid and wrong - I’m astonished you people don’t see that distinction. Like the twinkle toes that can’t determine the difference between petty theft and rape.

Einstein, this is not theoretical physics, everybody can understand it. However, everyone doesn't believe in victim shaming and insinuating that criminal was clever and stupid victim deserved it.

Tinker Bell! You’re back! Who said anything about a clever criminal?

Listen, if you do something stupid, like steal or leave your **** on the seat of your car with the car unlocked, you kind of can’t blame the other person for everything.

Why not? This is a civil society, we aren't a bunch of lawless cavemen. We follow rule of the law and victim doesn't have to share the blame for the crime. We can and should judge the criminal, not the victim.

Then explain the signs in every parking lot telling you to lock your car?
The hundreds of posts that say - “hey, lock your car”

That’s like blaming the driver if someone just runs out in the street. Life ain’t the Truman Show, if you don’t look both ways, you’re going to feel it.

Warning and blame are two different things. If it weren't for criminals, we wouldn't even need to be on guard all the time.

Even if someone isn't looking both ways, we would stop if we could help it, not many of us are going to run anyone over because he wasn't careful. Accidents and road rage crimes are two different things.
