LA isn't dangerous. You don't need to do anything special.

Use the same common sense you would use anywhere else to stay safe.

Be alert to your surroundings. This is a survival skill that many are losing because they are too busy texting while walking along and being gormless. I never text "on the run" and I sit in a safe place if I need to have a cell phone conversation.

I do you one better... I never text. Or use a cellphone. I'm a communications Luddite.

I'm just a step behind you, LOL! I detest texting and rarely do it. I'd rather they just CALL and get it over with. I do take my cellphone with me when I go out, to keep my hubby's face straight, but I rarely use it. People are always complaining that I ignore my incoming calls. I complain back that they are intruding on my private time that is just for ME and that I refuse to be on-call to anyone.

Don't start none, won't be none.

Seriously though, I'm a little confused about the original post. Seems to me that if you don't go looking for trouble, you're most likely not to get any. And by that I mean staying away from areas where you KNOW you're bound to run into some kind of trouble like the "ghettos". Public hang outs like City Walk might still have some knuckle heads (that's what I call young 'ins looking for trouble) walking around but that's what places like The Grove are for.

In my case trouble finds me if I'm in the wrong place so I've learned to stay away from those areas.
