It's for the kids.
I’m awaiting the inevitable lawsuit when someone using the app gets mugged in a “safe” part of town.
God forbid that any of us should manage to protect ourselves from murderous thugs — even passively — by avoiding dangerous parts of a city. Am I stereotyping because I avoid the Trinidad and Anacostia neighborhoods of Washington, D.C. like the plague, and if necessary will drive miles and miles out of my way to avoid passing through them? If so, tough. The one time I blundered into Anacostia, a concerned elderly lady asked me what I was doing there and told me to drive until I was out of it and not to stop for any reason. I have a right to take whatever steps necessary to ensure my personal security. Stereotypes be damned. There is a very good reason for them and I find them useful tools. Next Eric Holder will try to force us all to go hang out in those places.
Kids version of the 47...put a kitty on it...makes it ‘harmless’...oh yeh!
