Okay, I was a dick in my above post. I apologize for my dick-headedness.

But, all I was trying to say is people always complain about hard life is in the hood. Life is hard in general. Everybody in every part of the world goes through some sort of daily bullshit. LA isn't the only place in history where people die daily over nothing. It is nothing new or impressive or makes me fear the hood. They are normal people, but need to stop blaming other people for their misfortunes. They are the ones causing the problems, yet they want someone else to fix it for them.

Move away. Choose money or happiness.
