This has nothing to do with Jack the Ripper. The place where Jack the Ripper Murdered women in 1888 was the hell of an evil mind. But it was also the area he was in. Whitechapel was a notorious hell hole. drugs, prostitutes, drunken brawls, domestic violence and general hopelessness were prevalent.
I recently spent some time in Orange County's local hell hole; Pine Hills.
I was in a part of pine hills that was mostly legitimate businesses. However, two weeks into my four week job somebody got shot in the same parking lot I was in! I wasn't there at the time, but I might have been.
I saw a few people who were mentally challenged. A woman who was obviously schizophrenic, a guy with an OCD inspired walk and many others who I could not diagnose (I am not a Doctor). But I don't think these people should be on their own.
There were probably a few hookers and an assload of people on the drugs. I can only say for sure that two guys were carrying guns. ( I could see the imprint under their shirt) I suspected many more. I guess that about half the men walking by had some kind of weapon on them. I don't blame them since I would have been armed if I was there.
I have to say I did not see any illegal activity. I would have been legally obliged to report that. I did see alot of Dodgey people. I also saw some normal looking people.
I felt sad for the nice people who lived in the area. It sucks to be poor. The neighbood sucks. The assholes around suck. There was alot of them. I'm glad I don't live in Pine Hills anymore. Pine Hills is over all not the worst place in the world. It is still a little slice of hell though.
