core memory

 A friend of mine experienced one of the worst things in her life. Yesterday, she and her family were driving and as they got to a toll booth, there was a black Vellfire in front of their car. Suddenly, out of nowhere, came an Indian guy with tattoos approaching their vehicle. She said it felt like they were about to get robbed in broad daylight. The worst part was, when the guy approached their driver's window to speak to her husband, she started freaking out. No one from the toll House came out to check if everything was OK. She said that despite whatever that guy was telling them, they drove to the police station to be safe and then further carried on their discussion there. She felt safer there because the police were armed.

I don't know what people know about this country but safety is highly questionable. It's all over the news that people get mugged in broad daylight here. I grew up in a place where so called people with money live and no one is safe. Like seriously. Houses get broken into within minutes. My grandma got mugged at noon while waiting at the traffic lights. It's almost like they just say there's a safety protocol but it's not for the civilians. We are just collateral waiting for the wrong place and time.....
