There are parts of town you don't go into. They went there. That doesn't mean they deserved a beating, but you need to be aware of where you are.
If you honestly believe that you can go anywhere you want to and not expect a challenge and or attack, you are a fool. Go walking at night in the Ford City part of Chicago. Let me know how well that works.
The cops won't do anything. If they did, you would have a riot, lawsuits, and the NAACP attacking you in the courts. So the de facto result is containment.
It is the unspoken rule in many areas.
If you travel a lot, be aware of where you are. If you are local, then you had better know what places to go, and how to get the heck out of the "bad" places. In certain places, you don't go to anything "free" (like where I live) as you are pretty much guaranteed that there will be at least an assault if not a shooting or two.
Ferals, being predators, do not attack those who may be armed. Unarmed prey is what predators prefer, be the predator on two feet or four.
Had that victim been armed, the likelihood is he would not have been attacked. Had the wife gotten out with a weapon in her hand, the attack on her also probably would not have occurred.
Note that if both females had been armed as well, the attack would have been even less likely.
As for “free events” I read, and agreed with Darkshire’s Letter. When the population becomes more black, leave. Amusement amongst Ferals is questionable, but obtaining necessities such as fuel may be necessary.
However, getting fuel can be accomplished if one is armed. In any case, far better to shoot a Feral than to be beaten or killed by a Feral. Should a riot begin, legal issues become secondary to escape.
I also avoid Feral habitats, but for business reasons I do have to occasionally enter the ‘concrete jungle’.
My point remains: Go when and where you wish, but be prepared. I don’t do business in Feral habitats on weekend evenings, for instance.
Eventually, America will have to deal with the Ferals, be they black, Messican, or Muslim. Feral is Feral.
