@khaxan There's also the issue of race/class assumptions about user base. Other users are at higher risk going thru white upper class nbhd.. -
@RichFelker an example of your last statement? -
@khaxan Ones I had in mind: Renisha McBride, Trayvon Martin. But I don't have examples of stat. studies of risk, just widespread perception. -
@khaxan Also non-fatal cases like Henry Louis Gates. Basically which places are "high risk" to be depend on who you are, not just place. -
@RichFelker ah the racial profiling, yes, but I would think these are not so common cases & black ppl are not walking targets in white neig -
@khaxan Cases of getting murdered are not so common. But getting threatened or having cops called on you for no reason? Much moreso. -
@khaxan BTW in .ca I suspect what places are 'sketchy' to go may be quite different for First Nations ppl. Heard a lot of scary stuff. -
@RichFelker so, are you telling me we're not safe anywhere? Nooooo! I'll stay at home :P
