Sometimes it's easy to be cynical.[/quote] I live in a bad part of town, but we don't have gang shootings. Our lowlifes are too poor to afford a gun, and prefer to stab each other. The shootings happen on the west or south side of town where the bangers have more money. I've lived through several race riots. When the 10 year olds start packing Mac10's, then I'll get nervous. As long as I don't engage in a high risk lifestyle, ie. don't do drugs, don't sell drugs, and don't wander the streets drunk at 3am, I feel pretty safe. Besides, people give me a wide birth. It's either my size or my crutch. A mugger would have to be pretty desperate. As soon as he regained consciousness, I'd just have him arrested.

Still, 4 in the afternoon is a little scary. Good ol' Cowtown has got a bit of a gang war on its hands... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
