What's Up with All the Crime Here

Letter from a Friend

Dear Sin,

So the city has officially turned crazy. People getting robbed everywhere! That's all you see on the news and the newspaper. Sometime I think it's a gimmick by the media to keep you in the house and then I go outside and find out it's so true. For all the robberies that are called in to the police I bet it's at least two robberies that are not even called in at all. I'm not scared just frustrated that with all the other problems I have I got to worry about some kid busting me in the back of the head with a gun and being robbed. Just the yesterday morning I thought I was about to get robbed right outside my house. I'm walking to the CVS Store and these two guys with hoods on and looking from side to side are walking towards me. I was thinking "Oh S--- here we go I'm going to have to get my ass beat trying to cut these dudes with my little knife". It was just a blessing that it was to many people outside. Now I'm from the worst neighborhood in the city but I haven't lived there in ten years. The thing is no one ever really bothered me because I was from there. Now these young kids just going out to different neighborhoods basically hunting. Which means they don't care who you are they are going to rob you! That's so messed up. It makes people nervous. Because I work hard to live where I do and now it doesn't even matter. The economy down and some people have employed themselves as robbers. They do the job full time and they work any schedule night; day; weekends and holidays.

The police need to get on this because if not its just going to get worst. Now I got to get a better job so I can move my family to a safe place even though I thought I already did that. It'˜s frustrating. I don't want to live in a bad city. This place is too small to have so much crime. Its allot of rich people living here where the hell are they at? The robbers are robbing broke people which seems stupid. How the hell you going to rob someone unemployed just like you? But that's what's happening. Well talk to you later I got to run.
