Originally posted by DeadJohn I wonder whether the victimized photographer was black, white, or other. It's relevant because the attempted murders used the n-word.
Photographer black, assailants 18/17 year old kids with names you could find in Spain so I assume they qualify as Hispanic.

That being said, simly the act of having a firearm on one's person is (or should always be) accomanied by "Condition Yellow" :
Relaxed alert. No specific threat situation. Your mindset is that "today could be the day I may have to defend myself". You are simply aware that the world is a potentially unfriendly place and that you are prepared to defend yourself, if necessary.
I am almost always trying to be alert and aware of those situations (esp. at night and when alone), but no one is superhuman enough.
Most car accidents happen while the driver is distracted, which is something that everyone is really, really, *really* taught not do do. And yet, people still get distracted, because it's difficult (and unhealthy) to always be on alert.
In this situation I would have probably left before even taking the pictures, but hindsight is 20/20.
