Do you run into a lot of bad people? I don't, and I live in Brooklyn.
I don't walk around scared that someone's going to attack me... do you?
I'm asking this because I can understand people behaving in a fearful way if there's danger always lurking around each and every corner (like Somalia). But, the vast majority of Americans live in extremely violence free environments (comparatively speaking), so the message of "be ready to kill!" seems grossly overblown to me.
Hell, I grew up in Brooklyn during the height of the crack epidemic. It was absolutely crazy. So from my lens, all of this fear looks extreme to me.
Well good for you Tet....But who are you to tell others how to live?
