That’s what really struck me...this was a suburban white boy just going about his regular business in small and medium towns and big cities. Good parts of town. No dope fiends or druggies where I go. It just shows this “element” knows no boundaries.
Maybe it’s because you’re suburban. I grew up urban. There’s a different way of walking down the street. Well there’s a few different ways. The one I learned growing up was “don’t care, not participating, not claiming territory”. Suburbanites, growing up in wider spaces tend to “acquire” more space than they really want to defend. I don’t seize territory so I don’t have to defend it. I’m just a boring white boy passing through giving no indication of being worth the trouble to mug.
