  2. Even better…don’t walk State Street, or any other street downtown, period. Last time I was downtown was to buy something at Samy’s a couple of years ago. There were bums everywhere, so I decided to walk up Chapala to Paseo Nuevo, where I parked. As I was walking up Chapala a young girl on the sidewalk tried to get my attention and stop me to ask a question. Despite appearing fairly clean and conservatively dressed, I could tell she was an “urban traveler”. I also was aware of a young man walking behind me for the past block. As she tried to stop me I pivoted and put my back to the wall of Macy’s to confronted both of them just as the guy had picked up his pace. He stopped, and then looked at her and she looked at him and then they both looked at me as I put my hand on the pocket knife I always carry. I told them both directly that I couldn’t help either of them and then backed away and they did not pursue. I think they didn’t want a struggle once the element of surprise was taken away from them. I was probably just a pickpocket scam and not a straight out mugging, but they were definitely operating as a pair.

  4. Hi Oops. Although my story was strongly worded and I used the contraction “don’t”, I did not intend to dictate anything. My use of “don’t” was a play on Roger’s previous comment to which I was replying to, and he wrote “don’t”.
