This editorial take on the safety of Greeley, Colorado by the Greeley Tribune (April 5, 2009), entitled, Statistics Don't Confirm City's Crime-Ridden Rep, frankly doesn't alleviate my personal fears about traveling to their city to report on the Angie Zapata murder trial.

Greeley Tribune - April 5, 2009 - Statistics Don't Confirm City's Crime-Ridden RepWhat the Greeley Tribune editorial staff says:

    ...But maybe the hardest reputation to shake has to do with crime [in Greeley]. Many high-profile cases and discussion of crimes committed by gangs has spurred assumptions throughout the state that Greeley is crime-ridden and has a huge gang problem.
