Footscray is quite the bummy side of Melbourne (thus my mum tells me neither to go over that way :p)

They were interviewing in Washington anyway, so by that method of thinking, shouldn't they be smarter?

CNNN = an ABC show? Never got to watch it.

They didn't want to get sued by CNN. Maybe people didn't realize it, but I'm sure they didn't film anyone that did.

Did they say it was in Washington D.C. or Washington State? If it were in Washington D.C. it would all make sense. Washington D.C. is one of the roughest crime areas of the U.S. I only went there once, but I'd say it was quite a bit worse than Footscray.

I went in DC 2 years ago, and was drinking in the Peirce Morgan area (sp?) when someone tried to take my cash while I was at a bank machine.
I don't stand for that in the UK, let alone the US, so I retaliated against 3 young (younger than me) lads. My freidns dragged me off, then my friend who lives in the US punched me to the ground and said that i could have been shot or stabbed as it's really bad there and you should let them take your cash. he said if I ever did anything like that agin, he would personally kill me. Mind you, that's not as bad as 2 days later when a guy stole a car, I chased the car, and jumped in the passenger side to drag him out...that was a close one :eek:
Sod that! I will always defend myself, and help other, in the UK, US or anywhere else.

You just have to make sure you re-enforce good manners by requesting the mugger to say ' PLEASE, can I have your cash?' while holding a gun to your head. Good manners make all the difference in the world in polite society.
