Yale: that is why you couldn't pay me to live in a metro again!
However, outside of the artificially created prey zones (metros/innercities) you will find more people less tolerant of the admittedly dangerous situations you describe. Neighborhood watchs have helped to 'take back the night' in a lot of areas and as more and more people start carrying, these watches will become more and more effective.
Slofiveoh: You hit the nail on the head once again: responsibility for one's actions has been so undermined and replaced with brainwashing that the police are the answer to all problems that our society is litterally held hostage in their own homes after dark and sometimes/some places 24/7.
Now, I do not say that folks should be the 'neighborhood watch dog,' but you will find that in smaller towns and more rural areas, folks look out after each other. My 70+ neighbors cannot go out at zero-dark-thirty to check their property, but my guard dog that starts barking because he heard something over on their property gets me out to do a quick looksee. And, now that the other neighbor (at the other end of the block) has FINALLY gotten his new dog trained, we have both ends of both blocks under guard LOL
Still, how many of you can say that you can leave your doors unlocked at night, even open all night long without fear of someone invading? I can. But I am still armed or gun on nightstand 24/7.
