Have you met people? They are unpredictable. You might get shot just for asking somebody politely to turn off their speaker.

In fact, I was once on a bus where somebody got stabbed because they asked some guy to stop playing music through his boombox (yes, I'm old).

Yeah....

I think people are likely to be as violent in most countries, but usually they have to use knives or acid or something like that. For what it's worth, I would far rather be shot than have acid thrown on me.

But yeah. It's a realistic thing that you have to take into account that you could be shot if you anger somebody.
