Missing being flashy/standing out, having a camera out, generally looking like a victim, having poor "street smarts", being unaware of your surroundings, etc

Watching that news about the stray bullet near Hemmingways - sad. I have been there several times, I think it had a different name - trying to recall.

IDK why, but I found this video pretty funny

There are places in the US like that, as well. All about right choices / right locations. And a little research goes a long way, too.
