Somebody just did a drive by 20 feet away from me (I was in the back yard) and I didnt drop to the ground or anything I just kept walking and talking to my sister on the phone. People shoot in my area everyday so I was thinking it was just someone acting stupid or w/e, but then I saw a black car drive by real fast and heard someone screaming... So am i wierd, stupid, or just used to it?
I think you are just used to it. We are learning in gym class that whatever you grow up around is what you think is right when you're older. Like a child that sees his mother get beaten by his father thinks that is the normal because he sees it so much.
you're used to it I have the same problem in my neighbourhood, but I've realized nobody has good aim around here. I've been shot at 3 times, one time hit my friend at least 12 feet away from me, so hide behind a tree or stand next to a telephone pole nd you're safe
im not ksinny enough to hide behind a telephone pole....wait...maybe I am. I've had a gun pulled on me once, dude robbed me for a $10 cd player
I think that you're stupid for not trying put yourself out of harms way. You could've died or be seriously hurt. If you were use to it you would know that its real. I mean c'mon, what person in their right mind would keep going like nothing is wrong. I just hope you would move out of that neighborhood soon.
:shock: I'd hate to live there. Thankfully the worst people do around here is pull knives on you and I've never heard of that happening...
That's some neighbourhood you live in :shock: Anyway, people won't be suprised or shocked if there is a shootout or burgary because they are so used to it until they think that those incidents are just another usual average normal routines that they have to go through everyday.
Ack, Looney, I feel bad for you. That must be tough, getting used to all that violence that seems to occur in your neighbourhood. I couldn't imagine anything like that around here. Sure, we have the drugies, but nobody ever does anything stupid enough to pull a gun or a knife on someone.
Fortunately, where I live there are no drive by's and that stuff. But it's pretty easy to get a gun/knife. And yea, you're just used to it, or else you'd run and hide asap.
-.- People just get stabbed over here unless you live in London where shootings have become increasingly common. It's weird to be used to shootings but then again I know when to cross a road and what streets not to walk down it just depends if you've become used to your area. Around here it's the wierdest people who attack other people though once in a pound shop a granny stabbed someone because they skipped the queue. It was even in the paper.
