Sure in the 'bad' areas i'd be more aware but not to the point of clipping pepper spray to myself or figuring out my best escape plan when "they" come to get me. Seems like alot of Americans are already living in a prison of thier own society. Has it gone from Home of the brave to home of the paranoid?
Really really sad..
I agree. How sad!
