Halloween

Was talking with a fellow employee at work the other week. I was trying to get moving so that I wouldn't be late for certain things that I had planned later in the day. This guy who I was talking to happens to be on work leave from prison. He gets to leave at 7am and work until 2pm. I believe that I heard he is doing some semi-hard time, closing up a sentence of about 5 years. He also happens to be very very ghetto. He also lived in Roxburry before taking up his current residence in the Billrica House of Correction. He said that on Halloween, back in his town, people would put on masks, go trick-or-treating, then hold the people up for their money. He said that I ought to watch out, because "Dracut is kind of a ghetto town, isn't it?".

I don't usually put much weight on the things this person tells me, but, for some unknown reason, I paid a little more attention to this particular conversation. This guy doesn't have much credentials, but he is probably an authority on this subject.
