America, Uncomfortably Yours
Disclaimer: I might offend a lot of people. Get over it. Hey, hardline conservatives (or as liberals call you: nazis/alt-right/white supremacists) and ultra liberals (or as conservatives call you: communists, snowflakes, dirty hippies), it’s you extreme righty or lefty f*cks who are burning this country down. Those of you who are so opinionated and polarized that you can’t see anything except your own party line. You hear “the other side” saying something and you immediately decide it’s “fake news” or not true.

Gentrification Blues. Top Story - January 2018.
My late father criticized me when I moved out of the neighborhood where he and my late stepmother lived. “That building probably has graffiti on the walls,” Dad grumbled. Yet the rent in the new place was way less expensive than the rent I had been paying. My dad and stepmother could afford to pay the high price of living in one of the most expensive neighborhoods in the city. They relished rubbing elbows with the well-heeled. I had grown tired of dealing with the area’s elitist climate, and I wanted to live in an area with real people. I found a neighborhood where people leaned out of their windows to wave to their friends. Kids giggled as they ran down the street in packs to get to their next adventure. Mom-and-pop stores were the norm.

How To Survive a Kidnapper or Mugger Situation
So I haven’t written anything in a while because of personal things going on in my life. There is something that hits very close to home that I feel I should write about. My cousin was recently attacked on a Manhattan subway and is currently in a coma with possibly lasting brain damage. Also, I have personal experience regarding this topic, and I feel that people should be more educated in what they need to do in regards to self-defense in the event that a mugger comes in contact with them or they are taken against their will. In my cousin’s case it was a mugger, which also happened at a store I worked at a few years back when a gunman came in to rob the joint.
