One thing I noticed with this situation and it seems like a common mindset in the U.S. is how witnesses say things like; "Things like this don't happen in our town. It happens in other places".

It's different in Canada. Like if something like that happened in one town, it would feel personal to everyone I think. In the U.S., there seems to be a lot of "us and them" from city to city, state to state, and region to region.
