to answer the poll question. I feel as safe as someone possibly can that doesn't have hired professionals protecting them night and day. only criminal in my neighborhood got locked up years ago. and I don't recall him being the violent sort. closest he came is he trespassed onto some local government officials property to demand more money (apparently he had been blackmailing him for years, gov. dude had a thing for young boys back in his days as a lawyer who defended teens on the regular and this dude used to be one of his clients that got sexually abused by him) and well that got him shot. forget what he finally got arrested over though but that wasn't it.
