come love, see the earth spin,

...mainly because i feel scared as i walk down the street and see groups and guys and because my mom has been sexually assulted many times in her life by random guys she doesn't even know.

i brought up this video with my parents, and my dad seems to think that a lot (not all) of these reports of girls getting shot or bricks being thrown at are because of more than just them rejecting the guy (for instance, the guy knows the girl's brother and they had a figh, and want to get back at him by attacking his sister).

my mom and i tried to tell him otherwise, but he didn't believe it. he said that "i like to believe that mankind is a little bit better than that". i would like to think the same, but mankind isn't better than that...

if he were out and about like i were, he would believe these stories. these guys are crazy. they have mental issues, seriously. i'm not being funny when i say this either. rejection of any kind make them upset, and with a gun or any other weapon in their possession, they will be violent.

this video perfectly explains why i look down at the ground when i walk by dudes in my neighborhood, have the meanest look on my face, i listen to my ipod, or i walk across the street to avoid them.

sigh....
