Compared to some of the hell holes that make up L.A. that don't have 250,000 people (Van Nuys, Long Beach), it's very safe out here. I remember when folks would warn me about downtown Colo. Sprgs. when I first moved here. It reminded me of a safer Burbank.

I had the same reaction.
There are much safer places in the Denver Metro than Aurora. Hell, pick any other suburb and it will be safer than Aurora.
ETA: Looks like one of America's safest cities made Drudge!
