How does this work? You can cross over a street while just wondering around and be in a place you don’t want to be. I’m not sure how common sense is supposed to work for someone who has never been to New Orleans

Imagine, if you will, that people are like baitfish and criminals are predators that feed on baitfish. You see a big wad of baitfish, very few if any of them are going to get eaten. When one wonders away from the pack though they get eaten almost immediately. A predator fish will bust up a school of baitfish and eat some but when they ain't actively feeding they will not...but they will eat one that is not in the school out of reflex. Criminals will not bust up a school of folks because doing so is a good way to get carted off to jail and whats the fun in that...plus criminals knows one of the minnows is going to frick up and wonder off and he can eat that minnow without any risk. Use common sense....don't be that minnor. I don't care if you are in New Orleans or Juarez...if you do not become that fish you are probably going to survive. Hell, even if you do become that minnow, even in the worst neighborhoods in the world, you are probably gonna survive...the people who live there do it every fricking day.
