I was in Footscray a while back and my husband said "we'll cross here" and I said "no we won't" and we kept walking. He understood I saw something he didn't. So if you're talking about personal safety yeah some people walk through life unfazed and for some of us (most women) have our eyes and ears open at all times whilst outside.
I’ve been in Foots for eight years now. Totally seen some drug shit, but the unsafest I’ve ever felt had nothing to do with any of that. Boyo on the other hand has had repeated and frequent mugging attempts and is totally fed up. They really shouldn’t try that, he hits fight mode at explosive speed and does not play nice.
We were walking through the mall? and I noticed a derro on the other side asking just the women who were walking past a question and getting angry at their response. It's not my stomping ground so my senses were a little more heightened than usual.
I feel like the sleazy types have become bolder since the pando
At the moment the ones to look out for serm to be a young guy begging at the main atm (total scam) snd one near the station slapping fake spiders off people to cop a feel
Oh dear. Thanks for the heads up.
