We actually had an abduction and murder here last year, but it was a fluke -- a rejected boyfriend pursued a young woman into an apartment where she was visiting. She didn't think he would harm her, and went with him voluntarily. He stabbed her to death in the car, on a busy street, surrounded by cops who couldn't reach him in time to stop him.<BR/><BR/>Well, speaking of guardian angels -- I traveled to exotic places all alone, in some kind of blind trust that I would be safe. And I was, and I was never afraid.<BR/><BR/>Pat BrowningAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404036170106001374.post-84296509228885277252008-10-22T20:38:00.000-05:002008-10-22T20:38:00.000-05:00I know the world has always been a dangerous place...I know the world has always been a dangerous place, but it seems like our veneer of civilization is wearing thin in places.Jaden Terrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11113218513166921429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404036170106001374.post-89106878243465133322008-10-21T16:47:00.000-05:002008-10-21T16:47:00.000-05:00I just received a security briefing that one of ou...I just received a security briefing that one of our crew members was violently assaulted in Paris, walking back to the hotel from the subway at night. I was checking out at a Safeway when a robber held up the teller I was checking out with. My former spouse walked into a bank robbery. My former brother-in-law cop was shot answering a call. My best buddy was held up at gun point twice at his hangar. My folks and myself have both been burglarized. It's a violent world out there, but these are also isolated incidences that have occurred over a lifetime. Playing it smart can keep you out of most situations, but not all. Sometimes it's just dumb luck. Glad you weren't hurt, Cheseter. The only up side to all of this is I never get picked for jury duty. Hmm -- I wonder why?Mark W.

He never went back. And one time, I was stuck in traffic in downtown Washington. Sat there watching as some guy broke into a car on the other side of the street. All my horn honking didn't faze the guy a bit, and nobody else seemed to care. If I never see that city again, I'll be happy.<BR/><BR/>Being one who's traveled far and wide and often, I was always very careful about hotel room doors. I had many friends who were robbed just like you were. Luckily, all of them survived.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01368973223808495975noreply@blogger.com
