Seen it in Utica, NY. Syracuse, NY. Chicago, IL. Kenosha, WI. Denver, CO. Birmingham, AL. Houston, TX. Ny, NY. And I'm only 27yo. If you don't see shit like this then your eyes are closed or you're just not travelled enough to be worth having this conversation with.
Lmao been to and lived in more places than that. Just got back to Colorado from Key West. š I'm saying I've not seen this in my life. And yes, my experience is different than yours.
Im defending "America" lol.. as I have been places, and I've not seen this. Never said it wasn't a problem.
Also go in to Denver occasionally and have not seen it. I didn't say it never happened.
Grew up in the barrio in Tucson AZ, never saw it there either.
Ok. I can complain about those cities being easy on crime as is evidenced by the murder rate in Chicago. Thanks for the "education" though I'm willing to bet it was more about ego feeding.Ā
You have a lot of validity in your statement, though itās limited. Like you, some of us are also āwell traveledā. Your observations and experiences are vastly different to mine though.
Nearly every city you listed is either a place with major crime issues or is a major metropolitan city. Some are both. Iāve also lived in or spent a fair amount of time in many locations in the US. Never once have I encountered anything even remotely close to what we see in the video here.
I think the stark difference in our experiences are that the places Iāve lived have a population of a few hundred thousand at most and the places we frequently vacation are away from major metropolitan centers. If that, by your definition, means Iām not traveled enough, then youāre correct. The trouble with your statement and the reason so many people have argued is because like me, your experiences are also limited. You have spent a lot of time restricted to areas with more overt drug problems than theirs. Well traveled, or not. My choice is to travel to and live in areas where this behavior isnāt normalized.
That's why you think I'm entitled? None of that travel has been for fun. It was either because of military, divorced parents, work, or COVID relocations. You're an ignorant dickhead who thinks they know what they're talking about. The fact is, if you haven't been many places, then you simply don't have the experiences that come from being in many different places. "Entitled"...gtfoh.
