If someone lives and works in an environment where he is the only white person in an area that black people give mean looks too, and reads in the newspapers about triple shootings every night, and is scared to go out at night, maybe it's just a little bit of trauma when it relates to having to be exposed to even more homeless, crack head, violent bullshit.
Sometimes I have to live in a place similar to that for temporary work and it really makes you consider which part of town you live. And working with the public you just see it no matter how far out of the city center you try to rent. So CJ can get wrecked or thrown in the slammer.
