Thanks Anika. For the most part, despite it being dodgy, people hardly get hurt, besides weekend drunks, looking for a fight. Yes we don't roam the streets at night, but it's not like we're afraid to go outside during the day (except festive season, then getting robbed is quite common, it's like they're also looking for their end of yr bonus) Thing is I wasn't even worried cos it was daylight and he was with a friend, they were a few metres away from the shopping centre, among people including security staff and those policemen around! It just pist me off! I wish I could pretend things weren't so...
