<p>Thank you, Forgetmenots, for that reassurance.</p>
<p>Yes, the author of the article suggested that such an attempted kidnapping did not escalate to any violence and wasn’t a huge deal. It’s pleasant to know that downtown Philadelphia isn’t the major crime scene. And downtown Seattle is pretty safe at night. Perhaps not the coziest or most desirable place to be at night, especially due to the large amounts of homeless people and those who are dangerous and mentally ill, but okay when you’re with a group.</p>
