I worked in Algeria in '95 and '96 when they were having a Civil War. We were escorted to work by armed guards. I used to drive through Qatif on my way to work which is the Shiite region of Saudi Arabia. There were police checkpoints you had to go through.

I was in Bahrain right across the street from the Pearl round about during the Arab spring with all those people got shot.

I live in Kingston right now. Hell, I grew up in Oakland. Graduated from Oakland High.

Probably could have ended up like these two. But I didn't actively seek out the danger. I kept my head on a swivel.

There are just some places you don't go without the proper precautions. That's the way of the world.
