I live in a small town on the outter edge of Kansas and while it has always been peaceful and calm, there has always been underlying problems that have been kept quiet such as the extensive drug abusers and sellers, the break-ins, the robberies, etc. As of lately though, the criminals have been getting bolder and no longer care about being covert. They've robbed Domino's, a gas stations, the movie theatre, a jewelry store, and a Subway TWICE in the same week. This has all been in a span of two or less months.
My question is this: How can I help or raise awareness in the community? How can I get people to start caring and start defending their town? The police are trying to do their part, but everyone is being so helpless and I know there's something we can do... I just don't know what. Things will only get worse as we live right outside of a metropolitan area and the slime that lives there is slowly leaking into our peaceful town.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

While concealed weapons may be some individual's choices, I choose not to meet this violence with more violence. Having everyone in the city carry a gun is not what I had in mind... especially when a good chunk of the community is made up of drug abusers. I want to raise awareness and I want these criminals to know that what they're doing will not be tolerated. Everyone is just standing around waiting on the police to handle it... and it's only a matter of time before someone is killed.
