“Actually” they had very similar experiences. THey wrote a whole post about it. So how about ppl have reasons to actually be scared, not just shit they see in the news. Btw, If the news played all the shit that actually happens most everyone, especially women bc we are more frequently the targets for this shit, would be terrified. It’s exactly why I don’t read local news. But keep assuming news is why, but stop telling ppl who live these experiences that they’re just falling prey to the news, it’s obnoxious.

Did you read my post about what has happened to me recently? If you did that’s a pretty obnoxious post.

And even if you didn't its obnoxious. You have no fg idea what ppls experiences are, a lot of us have had actual real shit happen to us as well as are aware that many other people are being targeted, assaulted and menaced. No, it's not just on tv.

Agree with you so much about feeling helpless too. Born and raised here as well, this is my first personal experience of all this happening. I hate this with every fiber of my being. And not much I can do about it. That ems worker had no chance, he came out of nowhere. I hate this. I feel scared every time I go down into the subway. Amd the street is becoming not much better.

I had a number of incidents fairly recently including a homeless guy trying to push me into traffic. :(

Some homeless schizo slammed his shoulder into mine while I was walking my 10lb dog. Hurt for some time.

One threw a glass bottle, another timr one came at me from the side amd put his finger literally a half inch from my eye.

All within 3 or 4 months..

I have to look behind me every half a block and still don't feel safe.

Sorry all that happened to you, it sounds fucking awful amd scary. I plan on taking a slef defense class, no match against a knife but...

I hate that this is going on. I feel angry and frustrated.
