Sacramento scares the living shit out me

Or maybe it's all of California? Not sure...but I'm terrified of this place. My wife will often look out of the car window as we drive north on I5 and glance down at Discovery Park. She always says "that looks like a nice park, we should go sometime". I then take a quick glance and notice that the park is ALWAYS empty. I think to myself "In a city of like a million people, why, in the heart of the city, is a beautiful place like this always abandoned? Are people just too lazy to go outside and play? Are dogs not getting any exercise? There must be a reason for the lack of usage". Well there is a reason: If you go to Discovery Park, you will die. It seems Discovery Park is a haven for vagabonds and let's face it, vagabonds aren't known for their politeness and manners. I recently found out a women was killed in Discovery Park, and then the killer proceeded to burn her corpse. Holy shit....Not being a serial killer myself, the only logic I can deduce from this situation, is that the killer was so idiotic, they thought that the corpse might actually burn down and remove all evidence of the crime. Either way, it's fucked up. I've also heard stories of people getting bum rushed, literally, while riding their bicycle and then getting their bikes stolen. Imagine you're enjoying some of excramento's great weather, riding your bike, minding your own business and out of the bushes comes an angry meth head, he shoves you off your bike, and then rides off leaving you injured and bewildered. That actually happens here. I also heard a great story coming out of Stockton. A guy proceeds to rob a liquor store at gunpoint and the transaction goes as well as those things can go. No harm, money exchanged, have nice day…etc. Well, as this guy is walking to his criminal lair, he then gets shot and robbed by some very opportunistic criminals. So, in Stockton, robbers rob the robbers. Apparently, even if you've displayed the poor judgment of committing a felony with a sawed off shotgun, this gives you no street cred. I'm building a safe house.
