Often I think the best thing anyone can do is be aware, of themselves, their surroundings and their instincts.
I'll cross the street if I feel something odd about the people walking towards me.
Like you teko, if the 'vibe' becomes filled with anger, I'm out of there.
On the other hand, I refuse to live in fear.
When you look at the numbers of people in this country, the number who are violent is still very very small.
I do a lot of "people watching", too, but you can't always tell which one is going to try to take you out. Some of the most mild mannered are the very worst.
We have a lot of shootings, too, and I think it's getting worse.
That is so True! Everytime I go out and am in a crowd now I watch people and if I start hearing arguing or angry tones, I leave and go home. I have gotten very paranoid of late. Seems to be shootings every day now around where I live. Never used to happen
More people commit suicide, at this time of year, than any other, because so many people are depressed. I realize that this guy didn't kill himself, but he put himself in a position to be killed.
It's almost scary to go anywhere; you never know which person walking beside/behind is going to go postal and start shooting.
Maybe. It is a stressful time for many.
Im leary of how many more are going to come out of the woodwork before christmas. Something about this time of the year maybe?
