Yeah it IS getting bad these days. I live in a small ass city 60,000 pop. and I was talkin to a police officer a few months ago and he was tellin' me how the local mexican hood (my neighborhood which is called sunnyside) is completly out of control. He said that there is no way to control the gangs in my neighborhood. GREAT huh? Well then I'm walkin home from one of my friends houses and I see the gas station down the street from my house being robbed by a few mexican/black dudes. How fun. I'm also pretty sure I've killed someone once, I was driving home and there was this huge ass gang in the middle of the street and they see me coming and they all start walkin towards my car and a few of them have baseball bats and shit some all I'm thinkin is FUCK! And so I flash my brights and floor it threw them and hit about 3 people on the way got a few good sized dents in my hood and a broken headlight too. That was the last time I ever drove down that part of my neightborhood at night.
