I think the police and majority of the public really dont care what happens in the poorer neighborhoods, so you rarerly hear about shootings n such on the news unless someone totally innocent is involved. These kids in gangs are shooting at each other everyday, no one cares unless someone innocent is hurt.

than I did in the 2 cities/towns I visited in Arizona (Scottsdale, Chandler, Mesa? And I avoid the Eastside (Bellevue/Kirkland/Mill Creek)
at all costs. I have gotten pulled over in each of those cities at least twice over the past half decade.
LOL! Can I decipher what youre saying without sounding racist? Because Im the same way, basically I feel safer in more culturally diverse areas rather than predominately caucausian upper middle class areas.hgwellz12":2yecux22 said:It's crazy, but I felt safer in most of the areas here in Washington that most would consider 'sketchy' or 'ghetto'

Each time it's always the same story "Sir, I noticed you sat for a while after the light turned green (or some other bs reason). You have license, registration, and insurance for this car?" and after I provide docs and they run my info, it's "ok, just be safe and have a nice night!"... no ticket of course because I broke no laws... Except driving an expensive car. Now I let my wife drive if I need to go to those areas if possible. She NEVER gets pulled over in the ZR.

Why should anyone want care about the gang violence. If they want to gang bang and kill each other, let em. It doesn't have to be about a white woman it has to do with a victim that's when we care, and should care. White, black, Asian, or Mexican gang doesn't matter all low life's. White, black, Asian, or Mexican vitcim are all the same an innocent victim at the wrong place wrong time.RolandDeschain":3ke5mp4r said:-The Glove-":3ke5mp4r said:That's very truelargenutz":3ke5mp4r said:One thing to keep in mind is the majority of gang violence is not something the media reports anymore.

Wait... you were pulled over in Bellevue BECAUSE you drove an expensive car? Expensive cars are the norm for the area.
