I'm afraid that I don't really pay much attention to any description beyond the gender of the person involved and location of incidents (hadn't even read all of the initial post until you drew attention to it), so I really couldn't give you percentages. Maybe it would be smart for me to start reading it all!
Have a great night!

How interesting that you take that interpretation; here I was thinking visual descriptors would help in identifying anyone unknown going about business in the neighborhood, but what do I know?

I think it's fabulous when people answer the door and dialogue for a minute or two about an issue. I've also quickly told knockers that I'm not interested in whatever it is they wish to talk about, ask for, or sell.People chosing to do what makes them feel safe is important. But, it concerns me that a good number of our emails are about people of color deemed suspect - because they are people of color. In my mind, that is very different than witnessing a wrongdoing and describing what one sees.Bridgette1116 Culpepper Lane
