I really hate my neighbourhood.
Three shootings in 3 weeks (2 in the same park) - the last one was fatal. It's at the end of my street.
I know all the spots where the
Skaf rapes took place, plus where several firebombings and drive by shootings have happened, and I regularly hear young males in cars park in the dark cul-de-sac next to our house. (Right outside my bedroom window)
They sit in the cars for an hour or so, or get out and sit in the gutter next to the car, drop all their fast food rubbish on the ground, and then drive off.
There is no good reason you'd want to be spending that much time in a dark, quiet street unless you were up to no good.
I've called Police on a couple of occasions (they've literally been a couple of ft from my bedroom window - we have no side fence there, and I was home alone), but they take hours to respond, and they're usually gone by then.
Mum found a re-sealable plastic bag at the base of a tree last week while walking the dog. She said there was "green stuff" in it, and so promptly kicked it into the drain.
I cannot wait to get out of here, to somewhere far enough away from civilisation, that these lowlifes won't travel to.
