Someone who is capable of intelligence please respond to this:
If you had a son, who was black- or any color for that matter, how would you you tell him to respond to a person following him at night?
Where I used to live 'the boys' would rob/beat up people down by the railroad tracks. Avoid that section of town.
Where I live now 'the boys' do not wear saggy jeans and tupac shirts, but rather drive big trucks with confederate flags. There are hardly any black folks.
Is there a chance some racist redneck would shoot my black son one night in the middle of town? Yes. Is there a chance that redneck would claim 'self-defense' and not go to trail because his wifes-brothers-cousins-husban is the DA? Yes. Thank goodness for these 'stand your ground' laws.
It is pretty much the same thing I tell my girlfriend:
Never walk alone. Make sure somebody knows where you are going and what time you should be back. Don't talk to anyone following you, call the cops FIRST. Mace + crazy keychain brass knuckle knife thing if they touch you. Call the cops THEN text me while still on the phone if anything weird is happening. Leave the .38 at home if you are drunk.
