👈👆Three Things In Your Reach 👇👉

I live in a very bad neighborhood. I'm talking really bad. This is no exaggeration, there are shootings, robberies, assaults on the streets, car thefts, people walking around with axes, machetes, broken bottles threatening people, the same 7/11 robbed twice in four days, someone either jumped or pushed off a balcony, 14 yr old girl missing, car hitting a crowd at the street vendors injuring 9 people, house fires, man in a tree with a machete, this is just what has happened in the last 3 days. There is more but I think you get the picture. This isn't the crime city wide, this is within a square mile of where I live. Some of those incidents happened within a few hundred feet of my apartment. It is worse than anything any tv show or movie can create. If you look up the Westlake District of downtown Los Angeles and find the crime and gang information you will only get a portion of what really goes on. But it is still one of the city's worse neigborhoods. Not to be confused with Westlake Village which is one of the most affluent neighborhoods in suburbs of L.A.
That's why there is a loaded . 44 Cal right next to my bed and a few more guns in other places strategically located throughout the house.
 
Aawww! Thanks for your concern. I'm a grown man who has lived in very expensive and supposedly safe neighborhoods as well as not so great neighborhoods in a few different cities. In my late 20s I worked as a doorman/security and DJ for a topless club in Inglewood(L.A.) which is the place that LA Bloods and Crips started in the 1970s, I worked there in the late 80s early 90s and was working there when the Rodney King riots happened only a couple miles away. I am just a medium size man but I know how to avoid potentially bad situations and I know how to end bad situations very quickly before things get out of hand.

I do appreciate you and your concern. Thank You.
 
I'm glad that I can do that for you. It's not that I have to live here, I can afford to live in a very nice part of town and my family was solid middle class with a house about a mile from the beach here in LA and a house in the mountains and my grandparents had a place in Palm Springs. I work for myself and have a legitimate business as an electrical contractor working on locations for film and television production for all the major studios and smaller ones as well. My brother is the maintenance manager for two large apartment buildings owned by a large company with dozens of buildings and he gets a rent free apartment. I was looking for a new place last year and he asked me to move in with him. He was alone with four bedrooms and two baths, so I moved in with him. We have our moments of hating each other as brothers will do, we're only 18 months apart in age and we never got along as kids or teenagers or in our 20s, over time we got better at dealing with each other. It's a challenge some days that's for sure. Lol
