Walk across the street. I'm not being condescending or victim blaming you, I promise. Walk across the street, don't be alone or if you are be extra cautious, be in well lit areas.

I say walk across the street because if they follow (and im talking about serious jaywalking, make it where you absolutely know for certain if someone is following you) , you'll know really quick their intentions. If they follow on a crazy jaywalk, if you can't make a scene (as in stopping a car that's driving, or going into an establishment), run to the closest place that is safer.

I've been robbed at gunpoint in 2 cities and neither were Baltimore, it's not just a Baltimore problem; it's a big city issue.

Take care of yourself and be more alert. It might still happen if you're more alert, but do your best to decrease your chances of it happening. I hope I didn't come off as crass, I am genuinely sorry that happened to you.

TAFFER: I have friends in the military who train military dogs Laura [Ingraham], and they only feed a military dog at night, because a hungry dog is an obedient dog. Well, if we are not causing people to be hungry to work, then we are providing them with all the meals they need sitting at home.

I'll give you ah story that happened to me. My job requires me to carry a gun and I have a permit to carry. My car broke down so I had to catch the bus home. Two teens approached me with a knife and tried to rob me. I'm in uniform gun permit attached to my shirt, empty holster on my belt and my gun in my gun bag over my chest, with the words Smith and Western across the bag. I had a .40 Smith and Western semi-auto loaded with two extra clips on the side pocket. I didn't say anything to the kids because I thought it was obvious that I wasn't the guy to fuck with but it took this two three bus stops of me saying this ain't what you want, and you really need to think about this before this gets ugly, for them to understand the dynamic of their situation. I saw the realization in their eyes and they ran off the bus.

All of that to say kids are dumb and when you raise kids in a harsh environment you get shit like that, and what happened to you. My advice is to stay away from them if you see them don't worry about if you offend anybody worry about your safety first

Honestly you’re catching a ton of shade, but there are a few places that made it for sure, that said, the “good” options for anything in town are fairly limited. Even for the city that’s got world renown crab cakes there’s still probably only 20-25 spots on the list that are must go to. I’ve even had bad crab cakes many times in baltimore.

But if you go to Boston? Every single bar and gas station will claim they have the best chowder and they’ll all be pretty damn good. There’s still something lacking here in the nightlife and bar scene for sure. If this is ever to be a real city, you shouldn’t have to take an Uber to get to a good block with bars and shit.
