ah or they moved here cause their parents "just loved quaint Eugene" and brought their problems w/them.  Kids don't ' play anymore that look at a screen and don't socialize.  Then there is mental illness.  Kip Kinkel.  He was by far not a gang member.  We're NOT a big city folks.  Portland is big.  Los Angeles is bigger.  More people more problems.  Gad zooks!  We'd only had one murder in this small town back in the 70's.  Husband and wife thingy.  Oh yeah, we had the 'gang' that hung out at the A&W on Willamette St drag racing!  DRAG RACING!  Can you image the outrage at those thugs!  Oh.  wait.  One was me, lol.  l2g
