I have never been involved in any acts of violence, but I have seen many threats of violence back in the day when everybody was fishing for money. Sometimes alcohol was involved, sometimes just the nature of the people.
The place I dislike the most now is the canal. The proximity to the highway makes it easy for a druggie who wants to do a drive by robbery to have easy access and fast exit. When I fish there I am usually alone and find myself looking over my shoulder a lot more than I like.
