Samsara, Charolotte might be a hicktown but it's full of nigga's.. I was there a few months ago and I went to that area called uptown to party with a few of friends. It's a hip place to be but, it is full of black dude's.. I am pretty sure it was a black guy and not any redneck or white people.. That city is pretty diverse, I have known Narayan for quite a few years. He had a tendency to hang out by himslef, he would go to clubs alone..
You are right.. guy's and gal's don't go to clubs alone, go with a friend, specially a nepali friend cause We Nep's don't run away when a friend is in trouble.. we stick our neck, you mess with my friend than you mess with me. I have had such run in's a few times with my white friends and they were surprised I was backing them up like it was my fight.
Can't help it.. that's nepali's 2nd nature.. a friend in need is a friend indeed.

I hope he recovers quickly and the muggers are put behind bars..
