Whelp, hope you recognize that Frenchy, being a civilian and not having a piece at the small of his back, one in a shoulder rig and a throw-away in an ankle strap has to make judgement calls from a different perspective.
And, knowing that when he eyeballs a 'gangbanger' mufuti clad street urchin he's gotta assume that form follows function and come to some (for you) 'hasty' decisons about threat levels, surroundings and response.
And, he'd be right to assume the worst, and react accordingly... keep himself and his family away from street trash.
In fact, even if he did have all the armament you pack, he'd still be correct in my humble opinion to assume the worst; though I'd consider that to be 'Bernie Goetz' behavior to be hangin around trouble and as such puts him on the same level as the gangbanger.
