It's extremely unlikely in San Jose. We have a very low crime rate, especially for such a large city. There are some places in the US that are messed up, though, and I do feel badly that they are in such disarray. I'd like to do something about it, in fact.

In some minor ways, yes. We should, even among separatists, promote an open and welcoming environment for children to report sexual abuse. Had the milkman been discovered to abuse young people before the massacre, the lives could have been preemptively saved.

I've become aware that Turkey is possibly a lot more dangerous than I had previously suspected.
