I heard about the British citizen... he was an intern for Mark Warner's exploratory committee, and four or five guys murdered him and tried to rape his girlfriend.

I'm in the snug & cozy suburbs, so I'm pretty safe. But I worry about friends that live in the city - even the safest parts aren't that safe these days.
