It’s disgusting. I keep trying to add stuff to fix it, but it leaves a weird, slimy taste in your mouth.

You’re correct. I personally love bloody Mary’s and also love old bay and it’s just kinda gross.

I mean, the people who robbed you have the same ethnicity as the majority of the people who live in the city where it happened. The people who will help you recover your sense of safety after this are also probably going to be the same ethnicity as the majority of the city where that part happens. That's just a function of math, not race. None of the isms are gonna help with the trauma.

From the perspective of another runner; don't ever run with your wallet. Even before I moved here I used to run in a secluded, wooded and safe area in the midwest and never carried a wallet or phone or earbuds. Honestly, the less you can run with the safer you are -- not just from robbery but from all kinds of randomness. The closest I've ever come to being mortally harmed on a run is when a giant deer running at full speed nearly obliterated me head-on on a trail because I glanced down at my watch instead focusing ahead on my route.

Cannolis are my favorite dessert and I suggest biting the bullet and… just going to Boston to Mike’s Pastry 😅. But seriously here in town - I think Vacarros and Dipasquales is good. I went to Cosima and they were horrible.

It was at the end of October. As far as I know, they haven't been caught yet.

Go with Marie Louise. It's not going to be too unfamiliar, and the atmosphere is lovely.

Oh yeah, I think I do remember hearing about this. When was this? Did they catch the people who did it?

Sorry that happened

☠️mans even straight up replied “I have yet to been robbed by a white person lol” to someone. As if he couldn’t even imagine such a thing ever occurring…ye buddy, ya just “became” racist.

I appreciate your honesty. Address it and work with a qualified therapist. Best of luck, and stick to daylight runs, please for your safety.👍

This should be the standard, very good advice.

It generally is, which is why this group targeted the area. These guys have been doing carjackings and armed robberies for the last few months in this area (might even be the same group that got OP) because people aren't expecting it in a "safe" area, the victims are generally fairly well off, and so far they've suffered no consequences for their actions. Why give it up?

Thanks! Yep, that's the one. Recovery is going okay, I'm walking around again which is nice.

Around the 3000 block of Keswick Road, in the alleyway leading up from the path to the bridge on Wyman Park Drive.

They’re not understandable. Stop coddling and pacifying racist

Calling a spade a spade is called for at times. But the OP admitted to racist feelings that he doesnt like having. Telling him he’s stupid doesn’t help him process those feelings. He needs to be told these feelings are understandable given the trauma. But those feelings shouldn’t be directed to a whole group of people. His attackers could have easily been any color or group. They happened to be black because of the whole history of systemic racism. His anger shouldn’t be directed to group of disadvantaged people, but at the system that created this situation he was put in. He should be able to run in any neighborhood without fear.

You are inappropriately mixing too many variables, and at the same time ignoring many of the important ones.

Calling people exactly what you they are is very productive to me. People lack self awareness.

I’d argue that it’s all of our jobs to fight racism and therefore to have productive discussions on race that lead to less racism in our society. Calling people stupid is counterproductive, even though racism and low IQ are indeed strongly correlated.
