I really don't know what the world is coming to when you can't go about your daily business without fearing your life.
I sometimes get the last tram back to Stretford from town and walk back the 3/4 mile to my house in Chorlton. I'll have to start thinking twice about doing this in future.
RIP Blue - another sad loss of a young life.
I stopped walking anywhere alone twenty years ago after a very scary incident in the Ayres Road area of old Trafford, it's just far to dangerous, especially late at night when you have got a few beers in you. There has been so many young lads that have been murdered or ended up in rivers after nights out in manchester and walking home alone, Vinny Derrick, Nathan Tomlinson, Chris Brahney, Michael Simpson, Souvik Pal, Anuj Bidve, the list goes on and on.
If you have to be alone at night try and arrange a lift or jump in a taxi, arrange to stay at a mates gaff and walk home with him/her, you will have a better chance of making it alive.
deepest condolences to all of the friends and family of all those who never made it home, where ever your from.
