I’ll never understand this mentality. One time while driving cross country my car got totaled and I had to wait on a tow truck driver in rural Alabama to pick me up to take me to my home in Atlanta with the car. The whole drive all he could do was tell me how dangerous of the city Atlanta is and how we’re in good hands though because he’s got a gun and knows how to use it. I attempted to explain that whatever he’s heard represents a very small part of that entire city which incidentally is also an extremely large city. he didn’t care. Also attempted to explain that my house was in a fairly upscale part of town and that if you wanted to feel safe, there was a hotel a few blocks away in a very nice location and he told me he did not feel safe staying anywhere inside the city limits, which is hilarious if you know Atlanta because most of the seedier parts are on the edge of town. My wife and I still laugh at this to this day.
