You know the fact that those things have happened to me doesn't change the odds of it happening again. If I won the lottery, my odds would still be the same if I played the lottery again.

Or, do you mean respect the shark by realizing you're in its territory and you have to obey its laws? Wouldn't that follow that you should then bring out some crack and dice with you next time you approach those hoodlums dealing dice and throwing crack outside your business?

I mean understanding how to treat them. You don't swim up to a shark and punch it in the face. You swim in a group, stay close to shore, don't swim at night, don't swim if bleeding, and don't splash a lot. Likewise, there are reasonable steps that can be taken to not provoke the anger and possible violence of young people throwing dice.
