I definitely feel safe here, I’m just living with a piece of shit who can’t be confronted about paying his portion of rent or utilities without getting hostile. Aside from that, RI is the safest place I’ve ever lived. Unrelated, but in December, the news reported on what I think was the 9th homicide in Providence for the year. That was crazy to me! I’m from Dallas, and I checked how many homicides had occurred in Dallas up to that date…. 210! Insane difference.

There are pros and cons to both more and less restrictions. Guns I get. Tasers I don’t. That’s just ridiculous. I don’t expect this guy to do more than get in my face and act like he’s going to hit me (exactly what he did last time & it scared the shit out of me) so I think I need something just to be safe.
