There are many places in Boston that consists of bad guys like in Downtown, China town, some place in Red line, Watertown and especially everywhere that light can't reach to.
       Don't walk alone at night in downtown. Don't find food too late at China town. Don't stay at subway too long. Don't insult homeless. Don't underestimate people. Don't talk with stranger.Don't play with illegally immigrant workers. Don't except solicitation on street. Don't look in color people's eyes.
        The best way to deal with Dark siders is to consider your proper behavior, must be honest, sincere and friendly.Once you look down upon them, be careful of your ass hole. Be nice, that what you can do to them and me.
