Reply to comment by Temporary-Light9189 in What does “are you hacking?” mean when asked by pedestrians in the city? by Vysokojakokurva_C137

Oh yeah, in that part of town, it's all about respect. No matter what I acknowledge someone and just say "what's up" because you can definitely start drama by not giving that very basic level of respect.

I've been known to be a social butterfly though, so I'd probably get by okay if I were to walk around there lol. Especially since my coworkers used to live in the Sandtown/Upton area.

Oh yea for sure man, at the end of the day the people getting hurt are the ones that are doing something to earn it. Although I do realize that there are innocents that get hurt, every time I see that corner where that poor young woman was shot in crossfire with her kids in the car I take a moment of silence in respect.

Yeah, she didn't deserve that 😔😔. I used to be closed-minded about that stuff in those areas, but it's a cold world over there. I always try to advocate for ways to get kids and youth educated in other things early so they don't get caught in the trap of "the game." But in those places, it's hard because the city literally left those places to fall apart.

Everyone deserves the chance to go home and be treated with respect, it definitely gets you farther in life.
