I support NATO and freedom of oneself within reason but what I experienced in St.Johns was possibly attempted murder. Please remove deadbeat security !!

Never thought I’d be ambushed by a pot head junkie security guard in a supposedly modern Canadian jurisdiction!! Please review your security in your area if you have any values !!!

I just beated up from stranger girl. It happend last night, around my house. A cab's driver just dropped her around my place and i walked home,just like ordinary night. I leave her alone since i walked before her. And she just grabbed my hair and beated me up. I scared me, i always ignore drugs people and this time the same. The crime is really no kidding, and FYI it was midnight. I think its not save to walk alone after sunset.

Okay, the crime rate is exaggerated. Yes, there are people using drugs but most of them will leave you alone. And car breaking and Vandalism does happen. However, the city is very safe. Even at night time, it is very safe. Students go to downtown and walk back home at 3am without any problems

for all its problems, it's one of the few cities of its size or larger where you'll see many young women walking around late at night. really, as long as you avoid the drunks or obvious sketchy places you'll be alright.
