Don't stare at anybody.
Keep your doors locked at all times.
Don't leave anything visible in your car.

Random people have pointed guns at me and my family for no reason. Several of my cousins were held up at gun point and I have 4 Uncles who are in law enforcement - LAPD and DEA.
When I left Pasadena to move up to Northern Cali, there was some idiot who were randomly shooting people down onto the 210 freeway and several people where shot and I believe someone was killed. This was back in 1996.
This guy also need to watch out for high speed chases.
Should I continue?
Did L.A. crime has come down since I'd moved up here in Northern Cali?
I would just hate to hear this new guy or any new person getting into any trouble. I don't think this new guy would remain w/in the city limits of where he lives. I'm sure he'll venture out throughout L.A.

Welcome to Socal!!! Yeah all the infos they are telling you about LA is true, just becareful, don't mad-dog no one or stare at them. Not only that if someone does something to you while driving and you get mad, just ignore it even if its their fought, there's no point debating or arguing with someone that will just end up point gun at you because they are so mad and can care less if they are right are wrong, trust me, i been on both ends and sides of that situation

G-girl,
It's always good to take precautions. But you seem a little paranoid
I sometimes like playing my own games with the idiots out in the road
. Though, I surely wouldn't recommend that to anyone
IMO, always take precaution. But don't let any of those idiots and any previous incidents "scare" you about doing anything you haven't done wrong.

Alright, just be careful k662.
And hey, I've been alive longer than most of you guys, 88 years. I guess the crime rate in L.A. has gone down since I've moved up here.
Just beware of your surroundings k662. I don't want to have to type, "I told you so".
