Get Involved When You See Crime Happening Not Wanting to Get Involved When Crime is Happening: I read in the Articles Section, posted by Beyond Fantasy2, of a 2 year old in China who was ran over twice and only after 7 minutes did someone grab her off the busy street. This a very sad incident that the 2 year old was ran over by 2 cars, and people just walked by, not wanting to get involved. You know that in China, they used to murder their newborn Baby Daughters, Because some parents wanted Boy babies only. I feel that's even more terrible than the incident listed in this article. China is an overcrowded nation, so when traffic accidents like this happens, I can understand why they didn't go help this out. People have to fend for themselves it seems, even a little . So the mentality of Eat Society might arise, because of the overcrowded situation. But people aren't starving in China anymore. It's become a World Super Powerful nation. It sounds familiar though, where people don't want to get involved when they see a crime being committed. It happens here in the U.S. as well, when there's gang activity in the neighborhoods. So murders occurs here often and it's very easy to buy a gun legally and illegally. My ex-husband bought his gun from his former roommate. It was a big Magnum too. He refused to teach me how to shoot it, even though I wanted to learn at the range. Maybe he was afraid that I'll shoot him too. Ha Ha! So it was left unregistered to this day. I left him 2 years ago. Over 12 years ago, I also lived once on Beacon Hill, with my Ex-husband in an apartment, in Seattle. Beacon Hill is part of the inner city. I also grew up in Rainier Valley, which we refer to as the Ghetto, as a joke amongst our former classmates. There were Neighborhood Block Nights on Beacon, where people can come out and meet each other and have a potluck. My other former neighborhood in Renton, was for the most part extremely safe with many families living in our cur-du-sac housing community. Since it was part of the suburbs and we had neighbors who looked out for each others' homes. A few times I forgot to shut our garage door, but our home wasn't burglarized. Our neighbors would have their garage doors wide open during the weekend when they were home in the afternoons. So it was normal for that to occur. I however, would shut my garage door and locked it all the time, while we were home, since I grew up in the inner city where there were a lot more crime. The only isolated incident that did happen in Renton, was when I was at home, was when a young guy tried to kick my door in. I confronted him since it made me angry. He didn't threaten me at all. Instead he made a story saying he was looking for a man . I kept telling him no one of that name lives here. I could of left it as is. But he was driving a suspicious car with long antennas and a paper license taped to the window. But I called the police, after he left and he was caught. I did my job as a good citizen by calling the police and also showed up at his court sentencing, after he pleaded guilty for this crime. I didn't have the guts to speak in front of the court during the sentencing and wasn't required to testify since he pleaded guilty. But I heard other victims' stories of what his stole that were expensive family jewelry from these two couples. So when you see a crime occurring, please call the police and don't wait to long for other bad things to escalate.   Sugi Dancer, Dating Coach |

Absolutely. I grew up in an urban area and the only way to make things better is to be vigilant and help out if necessary. Unfortunately, there is a level of unpredictability these days. That is a lot of crime, a lot of random violence involves people who are drugged out of their sense, either crack or ice, and are so beyond normal impulse control you could get really messed up. I guess I always have my fingers ready to dial 911.

Hi Masada Nice to see your comments on my blog! Thank you for reading them! Yeh, those like me who grew up in the inner city are more cautious than people who lived in the countryside or up in Canada. From across from Detroit even, in Canada, I've heard people don't lock their doors since people can't own hand guns. But Detroit it's a high murder rate and heavy on violent crimes since a lot of people are out of work too. It's also important for women to take self defense classes or even martial arts. For me, I'm very gusty and can talk to big men who might look intimidating. But I was less afraid to answer the door, after the burgalar was trying to kick it down! I was first hiding from the view and didn't want to deal with him when he was first knocking early in the morning. Depending where you live in the world and the neighborhood, even in the U.S. or in my neighborhood can be peaceful or a jungle. But we usually can choose the neighborhood to live in, if we are middle class. The poor have less choice if they are Section 8 or receiving government funding for housing. They have to live in the more dangerous neighborhoods or government ran ghettos (Low income housing). Again it's important to reach the youth before they get into gangs to commit crimes. Than means more caring people to volunteer to mentor the high-risk youths in many non-profit programs like Boys and Girls Clubs or after school programs at the community center or sports.

I don't care where in the world a person is, or what the conditions are to their living. If a child is hurt and especially by the act and manner this child was hurt. when the human decency of humane concern for a human life is treated as these people did this child. Then where ever it happens that society needs to review itself. I sometimes see some Asian people who act indifferent to things happening here in the U.S. Rarely do you see Asian here in the U.S. Join in to fight for any rights that people stand up and fight for. but when the rights are won, they want to enjoy the benefits of what others fight for. the even sadder part, is some Asian will have a judgmental attitude about those who fight for rights, but when the rights are won, they don't have any more regard for the people who fought for those rights. It's very strange. but people in general, where ever they may be, or what ever ethnic background they come from. Should pursue to retain regard for humanity. I think its sick for any culture to kill baby girls, all behind some status trip and hoping that a son will bring them wealth. That's as pathetic as people pimping their daughter for a dowry, that is nothing but a form of prostitution, done by the parent using the child as a hooker.

Dear Beyond Fantasy You stated that Asians don't protest in the U.S. Welcome to the Asian American Movement. Back in the late 60's, 70's and 80's there were many Asian American leaders who fought for certain rights and demanded officials to change their views and bring more benefits for the International District to the schools. I guess you never been or heard about our Asian Activism movement in Seattle and in CA. In Seattle's Chinatown is where my former Boyfriend, Dean and a lot of community activists joined in to protested in building the Kingdome. He was a Univ. of WA student back then. Also, my former mentor, Al Sugiyama closed down my high school in the late 60's and led the protests there when he was a student. He also led the protests on the construction of the new buildings for Seattle Central Community College. I graduated from both schools, but much later and served on the Asian Task Force at SCCC when I was Pres. of my Asian Club there. Sugi Dancer, Dating Coach

I have to maybe write a Blog on Asian American Activism. I will think about it. I'm very involved with supporting Asian American Candidates so they in turn will look after our Minority community in Seattle, and the State of Washington. We probably have had the most Asian Americans in office than any state outside of Hawaii. But of course, I don't want to reveal my true identity here, if I talk too much of my personal experience, except to certain individuals I trust. Sugi Dancer, Dating Coach

what I'm talking about is basically - engaging with groups that fight for 'everyone" not just Asian rights. Any rights gained in this country is best to be inclusive of all.. That adds more support for any cause when it gets greater unity. I've read of the many variations of stands that exist where Asians fight for things. But even when it comes to political matters> More power can be achieved to make change if they stand with everyone and invite everyone to stand with them. I lived among some diverse Asian cultures in California, unfortunately they were secular in how they did things. They did not push as a over-all united front of Asian people. Example: The Chinese did not mingle with the Cambodians, they did not mingle with the Filipino and the Japanese and etc... America history goes way back with regards to Chinese and Japanese, they have an entrenched place in American History.. but what wins is Unity.

Also after WWII and the Korean War, there were many White Service men who married Japanese or Korean woman and brought them back as wives. So their kids are Happa, or mixed. I mix with my counterparts who are Asian American professionals in one of my clubs. Again, in Seattle, it's much more different and more diversity of mixing of cultures, amongst the Asians, especially in agency work, which I volunteer with. Sugi Dancer, Dating Coach
