  Jersey City, NJ. What a fucking shithole. Cannot believe I didn't get shanked in broad daylight.

  It's now the Bellevue of NYC. God bless gentrification.

  I was once in an elevator with Ed Murray.

  I must have been in the wrong part. The really shitty part.

  Washington, DC.
  
  Bunch of assholes with terrible intentions trying fuck me 3 ways at once. 537 of them with a bunch of retarded gang-bangers backing them up.

  In all honesty, I did feel a little uncomfortable one night in Oakland. Post-Raiders game, partied a bit and then dude dropped me at the BART Station on a slow roll and said, "Get your ass inside the gates right now. Don't stop for anything or anybody".

  New Orleans. Went to a couple of bars, off Bourbon Street, and had the unpleasant conversation with a group of men who were just sizing us up. You know the one where everyone pretends we’re all friends here, while we decide if we’re going to kill you? Three of us (all Marines) and five of them. We were drunk (but not that drunk) but we all had combat experience. Even so, we had no weapons so the end result would have been us losing. But, and this is the important part, we would have gotten ours. I know the exact moment that dawned on them because the tone changed and we were on our way.

  Besides my hometown?
  
  Everett. This was ten years ago, so I’m sure things have changed, but I thought it was sketchy as hell.
  
  Oh, and Detroit. Even the airport felt unsafe.

  Atlanta can get sketchy real quick.
  
  Check on New Orleans. Stick tightly to the chamber of commerce trail map for tourists or you're asking for it.
  
  Not what they once were, but Overtown, Liberty City or Carol City in Miami. Back in the day, there was nothing like it. They've softened a bit, but I still would not be caught walking through even in daylight.
  
  NY - uh, none of the boroughs are tuff anymore. None.
  
  Lolz for any mention of anything Seattle. Tuffest neighborhood in the NW is Hilltop baby. Ask Ballz. Seattle is like Disney World compared to most US cities.
  
  Worst I've experienced? Wandering off the campus of the University of Chicago. South Side baby! It ain't no joke.

  South end of Watts because it looked like it had just been bombed and i was searching the sky for enemy planes.
  
  I've had groups of gang members see me in my UC vehicle and start flipping me off and throwing signs. I flipped them off. I had a submachine gun in my lap so it wasn't me that should have felt unsafe.

  Assuming there was one of you, you were definitely the one who should have felt unsafe.

  I told a wrong turn, walking, out of the MARTA in pre-smartphone days. I didn't feel exactly unsafe but extremely out of place. I tapped out, called a cab, and found I was just a few blocks from the high-rise office I was headed to.
  
  
  Most unsafe, quite easily, is Crow Agency, Montana.
  
  edit, that's behind Salem & Eugene of course.
