MONDAY MUSINGS: BEING a woman in today's world means still being plagued with all types of inequality so I am not just referring to financial.
A recent video detailed females' societal demise (see below Scary Times) but it's the physical security that is on my mind today. Why? Well, you may remember a petty thief who was killed when confronted rifling through a neighbor's car and then jumping the owner. The sound of gunshots shocked me that early morning in suburbia. My world was rocked because sometimes I walked the dog before light and by chance, I wasn't outside that morning. Yes, Police cars shortly arrived thereafter but it wasn't until months later that I saw squad cars in our neighborhood again.
Apparently a neighbor had a warrant against him. He was escorted out cuffed. What is happening? I have no clue as to the reason for the warrant but the presence of police in suburbia is becoming more common. Is this a reflection that crime has spread to the burbs? Remember how our Moms told us to avoid going into certain areas?
Well good luck as crime has spread to suburbia.
Maybe we should buy our own squad car to park in front every couple of blocks.
Nothing like adding more fear to a woman's life...
