(Bad) News in my own backyard =(
I'm a bit shaken up about the news development.
Those of you in the US, I dunno if it made national, but this week in NYC (where I live), a psychologist was stabbed to death with a meat cleaver and two other knives. (Story & video = http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/13/nyregion/13doc.html?bl&ex=1203051600&en=bf8812ecc5524a95&ei=5087%0A) Stuff like that happens in a big city. But it seems that the killer, lived the building next door to me. ._.;
This afternoon, I left to buy groceries, and when I got back, there were news vans and police cars surrounding the block. The next door building is owned by the same management company, so we share gardens, parking garages, laundry room with the people there. Right now it's clear that this person has a long history of mental instability. He's been arrested and removed, so right now the police are probably tearing the apartment apart for clues.
This makes me really uneasy. There are a number of mentally unsound people in my own building. Heck, there's one on my floor, right next to the elevators and stairwells. She lives alone, and it's easy to tell when she's off her meds. She'll leave the door open, start screaming and crying, walk around the building in pajamas, and once came to my door and asked for help opening a jar. Jesus, I know it's horribly unfair and insensitive, but I'm going to be scared shitless if I'm in the elevator alone with her.
