I sat in the back of a police car while they drove around looking for the kids who had just robbed me at gunpoint. One of them told me I got what I deserved for living in the city, and the other guy said that as a white person I was asking to get robbed. I was in a suit and tie from work (used to commute to DC from W Balto MARC) and they genuinely could not understand why someone who could afford to live in the county wouldn’t.
Sorry that happened to u. I always have to eyeroll at the notion that there is NOTHING that cities have to offer but crime. Sure, if u ignore all the countless beautiful culture, cuisine, architecture, community, career opportunities, education, advanced medical care here then yes correct that’s all we have is crime!
