Maybe where you live.
Around here, when the mother tells the local fishwrap, "He was a good kid. He wanted to go to college," people just laugh.
Nothing like the anecdote you state has happened in my county in the 20 years I have lived here. If a stranger is in my house, they are in mortal danger. I'm am not going to pause to wonder if he has a scholarship to NC State. I will wonder if he is acting alone, or if there are more.
A few years ago, there were 3 different home invasions within 500 yards of my house. Three perps were later caught and are still in prison. This is reality, not some kid on a drinking binge.
