I can’t say for current times but back in the day day late 70’s to mid 80’s iv partied in Compton ( grape street watts) , went to the swap meet there off Bullis . And iv lived in Lynwood . I don’t view it so dangerous. Try Hawkins house of burgers. Great burgers. Now there’s a story. Hawkinks family.

I'm a white guy from Australia that stands out pretty much everywhere in Los Angeles but i've never had a problem in all the times I've went, I remember a guy at a gas station in either watts or inglewood I can't remember to "stay inside, this city ain't a joke" and another person at a gas station on N La Brea in Hollywood told me to buy a knife lol. Los Angeles is such a wild city but I love it, I think if you keep to yourself and only explore these areas during the day you're gonna be fine, could be wrong though, really not sure but I've even spent nights on the street in LA as a white foreigner and still didn't have any issues.
@ChrisCoolski18 күн бұрын
Australia nice, it depends on the time of the day. You don't want to be caught out after dark in some spots. It just depends on the area you're in. I grew up in Hollywood and ran LA streets back in the late 80's it's changed, but some of the characters are still the same, lol. LA can be fun, and it is. The cope in the video told me just to be careful riding around certain parts of watts. I wasn't really worried, just vigilant. Thanks for watching. Subscribe 😁

@ChrisCoolski2 ай бұрын
That's great. A 36er can be a little intimidating at first. Once you have your seat post at the right height and your unicycle gear, including shin pads and knee pads, it gave me more confidence when learning the step-free mount on the 36er. You will learn just keep practicing a few times a week and you'll be mounting like a pro. With the 36er Practice against a wall and fence and don't forget to keep your weight on the seat.

We really don’t though. We as a people are more than capable of living a civilized society. It’s those who can’t which make people have to petition law makers to make laws that if broken equals a punishment. But cops can’t realistically be everywhere and if you’re under attack. 11 minutes is a long time. Therefore if you defend yourself you won’t need cops. We do need investigators though. What if you’re not able to defend your property at the time someone came and destroyed it. But just regular cops? Nah.
