    I lived in different countries. Many are friendly with actual neighborly caring folks. Like leave your car unlocked safe. Like if you lost your phone outside, someone will kindly put it somewhere safe. Countries with good safety nets and a government that wants to help people.

    Here in America, I’m not afraid of the pickpockets or petty theft. The biggest threats to my family’s life are by police officers or ICE, all because of the color of their skin.

    I’ve been to protests where everyone was peaceful and it was violently dissolved by police. Where I’ve been to protests which had hired security guards packing guns protecting protesters, and the cops were on their best behavior.
