recounting experience with proximity to murders (shootings, stabbings) 

@OsirisSaline Solidarity from the US; I just moved out of a neighborhood in San Jose, California where we averaged 1 fatal shooting every month within a 5 mile radius of my home there.

I still wasn't afraid to walk the streets at night, 'cause the people being killed weren't just selected at random. In my experience, people don't generally just kill people on sight without other motives.
