one of the weirdest parts of being an ri transplant is coming from a city where hells angels blow people away in broad daylight and moving to a city where people are absolutely terrified of roving gangs of atvs. i guess it depends on your normal op

Lmao! I would say I have a relatively high tolerance for sketch factor, but depends what kind. Shootings and break ins, definitely want to avoid that…weirdos wandering, needing to wear earplugs, I can handle myself. I am a single woman so I just don’t want to be somewhere I’ll need to be concerned walking around by myself.

Honestly, and its shitty that these are the times we live in but please be concerned when walking around by yourself.... no matter where you are. Hearing so many horror stories lately all over RI and Mass and its scary!!!!

But I don't think west warwick is any better/worse than the other towns and cities nearby.

Get you a can a mase and you'll be golden!

>city where hells angels blow people away in broad dayligh

What city is that? i'm curious about hells angels' presence, not doubting. I agree rhode islanders have a weird sense of what's safe and what's not.

Although the RI state police did a big hells angels raid in providence last year, so you shouldn't feel too homesick.

reno, it was back in 2011 but that was the moment it dawned on me as a dumb adult that the hells angels with the clubhouse i drove by daily were THOSE hells angels lol

thats what i love about providence: at least the crime is organized

Ah yes, that makes sense. The Hells Angels probably have a hard time doing crime in new england, what with the rain and snow and cold.
