Anyone who is on the streets is in immediate danger of being robbed and killed. It's that bad. In some neighborhoods, this has always been true. Take, for example, the Desire Housing Project. Even the cops were afraid to go in there during the day, and refused to go in there at night. I used to work at a printing plant not far from there, and the janitors and press helpers lived there, or near there, so this was from the mouths of the residents. If you got in trouble at night, you were on your own. Maybe they should have tried harder to reverse this a long time ago, before it spilled out into the "better neighborhoods." Here in DC and Baltimore, there are similar places. If you call the police, or agree to be a witness in court, you will be killed for being a "rat." And I am afraid that the Hispanic gangs getting going in NoVA have the same attitudes.
