I assure you, it is not coming to a city near me.
I live in the South and I have a CCW permit. I avoid the really dangerous parts of town. When I walk in town, I carry. I would really hate to hurt one of these nice, misunderstood kids. I would avoid it at all cost. I would run from them and always wear running shoes when I am out walking. I also do not appear weak on the street. I am always street aware, and never let a sketchy character come in behind me. I would avoid hurting one of these nice kids at all costs. But, believe me, this crap is not coming to a city near me.
If you avoid “the really dangerous parts of town” then it must have already come to a city near you.
Bottom line is that we have no control over where this is going to happen. We can only try to influence the outcome in our favor if we inadvertently become involved.
