It’s fair to say you’re skeptical of a kids story, but it’s completely ignorant to use “cause Columbia is so safe” as your reasoning 😂🤔
My friend was held up at the Columbia Exxon and forced to drive a guy back to his trap house….back in ‘09…
Also daily drug, gun, and police activity in the family friendly neighborhood that I lived in for 7 years in Oakland mills….
But I would never use that as evidence that Columbia is UNsafe because anecdotal evidence etc etc.
I hope these comments have been a reality check that not everybody discloses their experiences to the police/journalists lol.

I wasn’t replying to the OP’s post in that response. I was replying to another person’s characterization of “the way Columbia is now,” (or something to that effect.)
The “safest city in the country” thing is pretty much a meaningless story. That said, crime records are public information, and much-scrutinized.
By nearly nearly every metric, Columbia is in 2023 a remarkably safe place for a city of 100k.
Sorry if I was confusing. And sorry for your friend’s experience in 2009.
