Well i moved to Hartford C.T. on June 19th of this year. I lived in Scranton PA for 35 years. Well so far living in Hartford has been a complete nitemare. I have been stuck up at gun point 5 times 3 times in brawd day light by kids no older than 14. I have had my car stolen,I hear constant gunfire there are drug dealers on every corner or they are all sitting on the walls outside the housing projects. My neighbor was shot and killed from a stray bullet that went threw her window so i never stand near a window. Hartford is a war zone and completely out of control and extremely dangerous. I am moving far far away from here as possiable so i can stay alive. And when i watch the news all i hear about are murders and shootings in hartford,Bridgeport and in New haven. I was completely fulled thinking that C.T. was a safe place these cities Hartford,Bridgeport and New Haven are ruthless and so below the provity line it is sad and disconstin. If anyone plans on moving to Connecticut i would think twice cause they thugs here dont think twice about shooting you. Also the orginized crime in C.T. such as the Itilian mob and others are very active here. Same as street gangs, Latin Kings,Solids well there are way to many to name alot of Paurto Rican gangs, Jamaican gangs black gangs ect. Well i hope i make it out alive plz pray for me
