i was wondering if it was safe enough for me to visit....i mean i heard shits like a military zone shits worse then beirut someone gets smoked ona corner on a average of 4 a day...maybe 5 if you live in the dip. I just dont know if this bulletproof vest can stop the type of lead that all them street soldiers got.Im glad i can do all my shopping at the Compton fashion center at least i know i will be safe...
