To be fair, when I visited the USA, a cop threatened to fine me for jaywalking until he realised I was British. He then gave me a lift to my destination, because apparently the hood I was in was so dangerous that there was a real chance that I might end up getting shot.
That was the last time I ever tried walking in LA.
- earthling8118 3y agoI'm not going to say he was wrong, but in my experience people here actively overestimate the chances of being shot. One time I went to a fairly nice place that had some bars and shopping places. It was a pretty neat area, the people all seemed good, and it was very accessible to walk in. I told my family members and they looked at me with absolutely perplexed looks that I'd go in that area and were surprised I wasn't shot. Most people just repeat what they have heard.
