Or the most cynical person on earth - the kind of person who lives in a zero crime environment up in the mountains and STILL keeps a bunch of automatic assault rifles for protection. What happens in Englewood can happen anywhere, man!

It's kinda true though. Just look at the Lane Bryant murders in Tinley Park. I never let my guard down no matter where I am.

It's really not the same thing. You know there will be random gunfire from warring street gangs in Englewood on a regular basis. There's no way to know when a crazy guy will show up and start shooting, though. That kind of thing can and does happen anywhere, and keeping your guard up won't help you much.

Unfortunately, it's true that crime can happen anywhere.
