Careful PerryChase, that comes dangerously close to justifying criminal behaviour. All I said is that JG’s assertion is a fantasy, not that I wouldn’t confront a burglar in my home with a gun.
There are lots of places where people are poor on a scale Americans arent even aware of, but not all of them have high crime.
There are lots of reasons why America has higher crime than other places, no one reason is the big reason. Drugs are probably one, but so is lack of education and its attendant economic opportunities.
I was just curious as to other peoples crime experiences here in this part of town. To me the problem is getting severely worse.
