Stuff you’ve never seen continues to shock and amaze others. Over in DC they had gang-bangers assassinating witnesses to little more than pickup truck breakins.
I’d suggest you not ever visit DC. They’ll have you for lunch.
I've been to DC plenty of times.
I grew up in Queens and Bushwick, Brooklyn.
I've worked nights in the South Bronx and lived on the South Side of Chicago for years at a stretch.
My South Bronx stint was during the Dinkins administration when NYC was setting records for random slayings.
I eat bad neighborhoods for lunch.
