Setting money aside for rape kits in a small town that virtually has no violence would be the equivalent of setting aside money for the protection of tropical palm trees in downtown Wasilla. Of course, Palm trees do not or cannot exist in Wasilla, Alaska.

If there are so few rapes in small towns, then why would allocating money to investigating them be a problem? After all, they do happen - it is not the equivilent of protecting palm trees in Alaska. That's just offensive. A crime has taken place. The victims deserve justice.
