Hit in White Center


I want to tell people about the life in white center right now. It’s important because we are getting a lot of unwanted activity around here. We are getting house robbed, car being stolen, and stores being robbed. You would probably think that things like this would never happen to you, and I was sure a believer of that but one day it happened. It’s a serious problem here. When people don’t have money, they have to go out and steal things and maybe sell them either online or to people in far places. I witnessed some of these and even had a burglary problem. I know some of you had something stolen from you. My neighbor’s house had been robbed. I was shocked when I found out because it happened at night time. The neighbors placed up a sign on their house saying they had their house broken into. This type of information makes you think of what would happen if you were at home at the time. It makes you feel like a victim and that you can’t even feel safe in your own home.

This could be due to the problem with the economy, gangs, or drugs. Everyone has been hit with this economical problem in the white center area and many other areas which is making money a serious problem. Other reasons could involve gang related issues. It could be due to family issues that make them join these gangs and do the wrong things when they know they could do better than this. They probably joined the wrong crowd because of how difficult it might be to survive in their situation.

When I’m walking home from school, I usually see a lot of teenagers my age that walk around the neighborhood in a pack.This is what makes people who stay at home more suspicious of why they are not in school. I’m not trying to say that every teenage who does this are criminal or likely to be involved in those activities.

The age limit for those type of activity range from young teens to around adult age for those who were caught. I’ve heard many people around here have gotten their house robbed. Many of them were friends. What I’m trying to say is always watch your back and be cautious about the things you do because you never know when you’re going to get hit here in White Center.

  1. You are speaking the truth. I never thought stuff would happen to be, but it happens when you least expect it. I think the problem is caused by multiple things.

  4. Wow. The line "You can't even feel safe at your own home" got to me. It is true. Now a days crazy things have been happening. I like how you included the story about your neighbors.
