Hi I'm new here, and I wanted to say something that's happening in my neighborhood. I'm 20 years old, have no friends near here I would like to associate with. Everyone my age here is very heavily connected to gangs, since my area tends to propagate crime overnight. And since most of them tend not to like me since they intimate you through gang initiations. I avoid them as much as possible, and become reclusive in my apartment.
I have neighbor above me who is in a gang, and tends to despise me very much. He had other gang members from other clicks; threaten him, and tried to do break in his apartment above. I don't know what to do, except get an education, and get the hell out of this area. However, I'm stuck in rut, and I set up surveillance cameras for his thugs not to rob my apartment. I know martial arts, However; I don't think that would help much if they have weapons. I don't know what to do, since cops here tend to come about hour later after an incident.
I was thinking about carrying a concealed weapon, but I like jogging, and I don't want it falling out on the road while running from thugs. Our area has so much problems, that assaults with weapons occur on weekly bases. Our security patrol is lazy, and sit in the laundry room watching a small television during working hours... What should I do for the meantime, I don't have any other options; considering moving. Which I know I can't...
