Do any of you watch your local metro news? I have started to catch the first few minutes just to see what crazy things are happening. The amount of murders, shootings, car jackings and violent assaults is astonishing. I then will tell other residents what all happened the previous day/week alone and they are shocked by the amount of violent crime.
We've started to see some crazy things in the news even for my metro.
I'll share one that's not too crazy but concerning.
I live in a nice part of town, a little isolated from the riff raff and there's very low crime. A few weeks ago, I saw from my front window a homeless man walking into my front sideyard... he starts going through my trash cans, then slips through a crack in the fence into the back part of our property, along the backyard but there's another fence separating the true backyard.
Anyway, I arm myself just in case and go out, catching the guy coming back through the crack. Very calmly I ask him if he can not be where he is anymore. He explodes, saying he's going to smash my head in and lots of cussing. I stand there like a stoic until he moves on.
