    This is pretty close to where I am from (tho I’m from the Texas side of the border) and tracks pretty well with the abuses of power found in most of the small towns here.

    Am I calling all small town mayors in this area child rapists? No. Am I saying a lot of mayors, sheriffs, and local leaders get away with crimes quite a bit? Hoooooooo doggie! Boy do they!

      Small town folk always talk about the corruption in major cities.

      But then they go back to their small town life where the mayor is the brother of the sheriff and the lead prosecutor is their best friend and all three of them have a deep secret pact to never share the time they murdered their school mate.

        After having lived in both, each is it’s own special kind of corrupt. But if rather live in a bigger city where a lot more people can be outraged at it with me.

      Louisiana is also pretty famous for corruption and abuse of power in their small town officials.
