If you take nothing away from this thread other than, be aware. That would be a good thing. When you are at a shopping mall, the last thing on your mind is running into some maniac with a gun or a knife. However, in this day and age, in this society, you actually do have to think about it, look around and know that in that sea of people some percent of them are disturbed. Then what would you do if the unthinkable occurs. That is a smart thing. It changes behavior not in a bad way, but in a good way. Maybe I won't walk by that row of hedges where the street light is out ... those types of things, a change in normal thinking and behavior to avoid it the best you can. I use to tell people when you are approached by someone you don't know, if you don't feel comfortable then ignore and walk away. It is their feelings vs your safety ... this stuff will continue sadly
