I'd say so, at high speed. That is some nasty evening entertainment.
good luck and remember to duck, cover and zig zag

It doesn't sound ideal for neighbourhood harmony. I'd be thinking about getting the hell out if things were that close to home.

look on the bright side, there haven't been any suicide bombers on the metro, and even if there were, you don't use it...

just keep reminding yourself the area is up and coming... the yorkshire ripper was arrested about 100yds from my gaff yet look at it now- no hos. Still, your local offy remains the only place i've been where you are herded in an acrylic tunnel from door to counter.

you gotta do the only sensible thing you can - make sure you have a bigger piece than the next guy.

thing is, from personal experience and what i've been told, things like are usually drug dealers/gun dealers/dodgy men killing other drug dealers/gun dealers/dodgy men. It's just that all the ones where 'innocent' people are killed are the one's that get the publicity.
