I think it took three DAYS to get to L.A.—I’m exaggerating, but not much.

Please stay safe... Thugs are out in Southern California tonight...

I will. The Thugs ARE out.

The English language word thug traces its roots to the Hindi ठग, which means 'swindler' or 'deceiver.' Related words are the verb thugna ('to deceive'), from the Sanskrit स्थग (sthaga 'cunning, sly, fraudulent') and स्थगति (sthagati, 'he conceals').
Named after: Sanskrit word for concealment
Founding location: Central India and Bengal

It's a GREAT word, isn't it?
There have always been places in every city on the planet where it's not safe to go. WHAT A SHAME that this happens in our own country.
The best place to be is home, safe at home.
Thanks for your warning.
