That's what I thought.

Big difference. The rural kids have parents that go to town and
patronize the local stores and are part of the community. They
probably were bussed in to go to school. These kids weren't bussed
there because the houses they lived were a mile apart. They live like
rats. Nobody in their hood would answer the door with candy so they go
to a populated suburban area with houses close to each other. Load up
a bus and go out and get more from people who work. ****um!
