I live very close to Garfield Park and I won’t even walk over there in the daytime. Seriously bad area.
sitting in Garfield Park @ 2:00 a.m.? it’s not your fault that the world is full of a**holes. but, jaysus, use your head…
Unfortunate but true. Garfield park and surroundings has been one of the worst parts of the mission for decades, due to the projects right across the street from it, and the fact that it’s right in the heart of Norteno territory.
Super bumming me out to hear that thugs are now working in teams. What can we do about this?
what do you mean, “now” working in teams?
I’m pretty sure people have understood the concept of “power in numbers” for tens of thousands of years, it’s nothing new.
Take a class at Impact/Bay Are Model Mugging. If you can’t afford the Basic course, apply for a scholarship. Don’t walk home alone after drinking.
