A man took a stroll on Tuesday at about 7:30 p.m. when two boys walked up to him and demanded money. One of the boys pulled out a knife to threaten the man and then ran off after getting what they wanted. Although the victim was unhurt, it is still a serious issue. In my opinion I think that when people are not safe enough to walk out there front door to go on a walk, that it is completely un acceptable. The reason this article caught my eye was because i thought it was absolutely rediculous that just by going on a simple stroll on a path, you are being put in danger. I take walks frequently by myself to walk to a friends house or to the store, not even realizing the risk that I'am taking. I think its very sad that in this world now days, taking a walk by yourself is considered a "risk". I don't think that anyone expects to be threatened while just walking down the street but it happens. This article is a good warning to everyone about the dangers that are in places you would never expect.
