It seems to me that a lot of you folks lived fairly sheltered lives. I have seen posts on this site complaining about the elements in the South end of Hartford etc and now Bridgeport.
You guys make it seem that if step out of your car your gonna get jumped. gimme a break.
I\'m not sheltered. And I\'m sure the others with concerns are not either. That\'s a pretty broad statement. I\'ve been living for the last 6 years, sometimes in sketchy parts of new haven and west haven, including downtown new haven which alot of people would consider "dangerous". I am not afraid of anything, by all means. I will probably walk some questionable streets by myself if its the way to get there.
I just want everyone to keep their wits about them. A good friend of mine is a bridgeport cop, and I know from his beat....it ain\'t pretty. shootings and stabbings are like every day. I\'m sure alot of that will stay out of the festival. But still....be weary when you wander away from the festival. I just want everyone to have fun and be safe.
