Where did I say that? No need to get uppity.



I don’t think anybody is getting uppity. The OP asked for facts, and I am simply providing facts. It’s not our job to make her feel secure like you said, i.e. “she’s going to be very secure now”. Give her the facts and let her decide for herself whether she should feel secure or not. That’s why I gave her the Berkeley crime statistics map, and I told her my personal stories about crime. What she does with that information is up to her.



Your experience is unique as I haven’t been mugged, I don’t know anyone who has been sexually assaulted or had someone try and break into my car (2x times). You have obviously been exposed to more crime than one would expect. Maybe this is why I said “average”. Nice try though.



I never said that my experience was ‘average’. I said it before, I’ll say it again. Lots of life experiences aren’t ‘average’. If you get cancer, you’re not average, as most people won’t get cancer. If you die in a car accident, you’re not average, as most people won’t die in car accidents. But that’s not to say that car accidents and cancer aren’t problems that we don’t have to pay heed to.



Also can you tell us what years you attended CAL (So we can get some perspective into your comments). I asked this earlier but you decided not to reply to it. I am not about to dig through all of your berkeley posts.



I’m afraid I don’t talk about my biography publicly.
