Far too many "Oprah ladies" (and men) out there. They don't understand something and they're afraid of it, so they resort to "I don't want to hear about it." And retreat back into their little shell until they feel it's safe to come out again.
As for "the bad parts of town". Please. The Mr. has spent the last 39 years working for a major discount retailer. Several of the stores he worked in were in areas that could be considered "bad parts." The only serious injury/threat he ever faced was when he was the manager of a store in a resort town in Western Michigan. He got stabbed three times by a drunken teenage shoplifter. Bad stuff can happen anywhere .
My condolences on Boston. Fingers crossed that you can still get there some time soon.
