If you were mugged that day, it was most likely unrelated to your color, bumper stickers, former profession, height, baldness, and accent. The foremost factor was probably whatever the ambient crime rate was there, local policing, lighting, and isolation. You could have been black, white, or polka-dotted and you would have had a similar chance of being mugged being broken down in that area with whatever crime rate was there. Your age might have played a role although you still look pretty strong and healthy; the elderly are more often preyed upon. Your make of car would play a role if you were sighted by criminals looking for certain vehicles or vehicle parts.

Now in terms of attracting local ridicule………..that’s another story. But Romney stickers are going to do that anywhere in the few, but real, deep blue zones of Georgia.

I think having it where they’ve planned will give more options to low income folks who don’t have the choice of driving or taking transit.
