[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 9640175, member: 85555"] Fair enough but someone asked me for data. I am pretty distrustful of crime stats in general because I am also sure a lot of goes unreported. Prior to that I was just going by local papers and literally hearing gunshots in my neighborhoods. And going by things I saw living there. And I even said I thought people were still exaggerating the place's reputation. But it also wasn't like these things weren't happening or things like gangs were a non-issue. But just as an example, the convenience store around the corner from us was regularly getting robbed (it was the kind of store that would have a bunch of security pictures posted on the door of people who had robbed the place, and the there were always more being added). And it was the kind of place where kids were shooting each other at parties because of gang violence. I didn't walk around constantly worried about getting shot, but I also was mindful of what was happening around me. [/QUOTE]
