Well, it depends to some extent on the details, still. Last year sometime there was a bloke shot on St James Road, just round the corner from us. Further investigation revealed that he was dragged out of his car at 2am in order to be shot, and was described by the paper as 'local entrepreneur'. At which point one tends to draw certain conclusions about what type of entrepreneurial activity he might have been involved in.
Now, obviously this is Bad Stuff & I sincerely hope the people responsible have been caught & banged up; but in terms of the impact on my own personal safety it's not that concerning[0], being as how I am not involved in any local drug gangs.
[0] Unless, of course, I happen to be around at the time & am an inadvertent witness & then have to disguise myself as a woman[1] & join a jazz band & go to Florida. But then I might get to pull Marilyn Monroe, so bonus.
