ORIGINAL: quizzicalkitten I stay out of the city if I can help and when I cant Im never alone even then I carry, we recently had a fairly large gang incident... guy shot up a house killing like 8 people because someone did something that caused him to loose money. We have no only philly but camden chester coatesville upper darby regular darby wilmington..... you would think with how often they shoot and kill each other there would be little left....but sadly now its moving in to nicer areas, we just had a guy kill his ex wife and kidnap his kids 4 blocks from where I live.... Darby, that is where the shrink had to shoot one of his patients cause the guy started a shooting spree isn't it? Close to... We have so many shootings killings and other violence its hard to keep what who when straight... mostly we just go... Oh... that sucks.... and continue eating breakfast/lunch/dinner Your situation is worse than mine, I want to say that up front so you wont think I'm playing "I got it worse than you" When I first moved here it was a nice neighborhood. But a little over ten years ago we got overrun with drug dealers, crackheads, and gangbanger wannabes. I got mugged in my front yard 9/11/01, you can see why I remember the date. I haven't gone outside unarmed since and have had four "confrontations" each ending with the troublemaker running as fast as he could as far away from me as he could get. Last year I was adopted by a year old Rottweiler, nobody wants to mess with him. About the same time the PD started giving our area a lot more attention. Recently a house across the street from me that was always rented to thugs, the cops got sent there at least once a week, was bought. The new owner fixed the place up and has sworn to bring in a better class of tenant. We have almost taken the area back. Hopefully something like that will happen in your area or you will get the opportunity to move to a civilized part of the country. An example of how our cops approach these things. A friend of mine was a security guard and was attacked by two thugs. He shot one in the leg, the other got away. When the cops showed and the thug started yelling about being shot they told him that my friend for not killing him.
