    Nobody will fuck with you for walking down the street at night in real life… except for the cops.

      Lol you should tell that to the 3 seperate prep cooks that were mugged walking home from work on the west side of Buffalo off Richmond Ave over the year and half I worked there.

      The best advice I can give is look at any groups of yougins walking towards you on either side of the street and walk right towards them. Cross the road to go to their side even if you think they’re guna do the same. Make yourself seem crazier than it would be worth for them to fuck with you.

      Anyone with the mindset to mug is on the same level as any predatory animal. If they smell fear your fuckin done-zo. That or have a lit joing or a open container, they’ll think you don’t give a fuck same as them. Or it will be your bartering chip.
