Same. I live near DTSS but we go to a Columbia Mall or Bethesda.

Bethesda had an attempted armed carjacking this month.

Do you think that the suspect is a Bethesda resident?

Not any more than I think the shooter in downtown Silver Spring is a DTSS resident.

The point, however, is that you are going somewhere that recently had an attempted carjacking. Better cross it off your list.

Most of the SS murders have been SS residents. So I personally believe that the SS garage murderer was a SS resident.

Silver Spring is a huge area. Most of it isn’t “downtown” SS. Where is your evidence that the people committing murders in downtown SS (20910) live in 20910?

No. I find it funny in a bizarre and macabre way that you are trying to draw such fine and meaningless distinctions between SS and DTSS residents to make some I’ll thought through and ultimately pointless argument about violent crime. Seriously get help.

It is not meaningless to draw a distinction between Bethesda and a large but ill-defined area like Silver Spring. Compare apples to apples. Do you think murders in downtown Silver Spring are committed by downtown Silver Spring residents?

I am so sick of MoCo Mike. He is a complete self righteous ass and a tool for developers.

My teenage son was going to DTSS a lot and spending money at DTSS businesses. He's forbidden to go there after dark now and discouraged from going during the day because I do not trust MoCo to care about safety in that area. It's a tragedy for the family of Charles Reynolds and a damn shame for those business owners who will likely experience a downturn in business thanks to this violence.

Do Montgomery politicians give a crap?

They care about criminal justice system-involved individuals. They are attempting to ensure they are not criminalized, and instead either left alone, or given some sort of diversionary treatment to avoid criminal records and jail time. And a lot of that is good on its face. But they have entirely dismissed the concern that there are people committing bad acts and there are actual human victims of those acts. oh, and most victims of violence are Black and brown. That never gets discussed.

I think murders in SS are committed by and large by SS residents. DTSS is a place where SS residents congregate. But so what? What the hell point are you trying to make? DTSS is good but the unfortunate receptor for SS residents crime? Is that your point? Like I said, ill conceived.

The head in sand brigade that wants to make excuses for this murder say Silver Spring is no more dangerous than anywhere else and particularly DTSS near the transit station. They say that if you are near transit after dark in the DMV, you should expect violence. I am not the one who is arguing this. I am just asking questions about this because if it is true, then we should not want transit in our communities if we also have to accept the risk of getting murdered.

Who exactly is this "we" who should not want transit in "our" communities, and which transit are you saying "we" should not want? And why aren't you saying that "we" should not want parking garages, which is where the murder actually occurred?

I’m honestly confused at this point. Is violence a fact if life and urbanization that society should accept happens everywhere and particularly in urbanized areas?

Is there a reason why there’s more violent crime and murders in DTSS or it is just a freak statistical artifact?

Crime is always higher in urban areas because there are more people. Crime rate is higher in rural states but that is per capital no straight numbers.

Poverty and the lack of resources like Appalachia have high crime rates.

This would make total sense except for the fact that the crime “rate” in Montgomery County as a whole is 2.5X Frederick County and most of the crime in Montgomery County is occurring is just a 4 areas, which includes DTSS and adjacent communities.

Most crime in MD and VA border DC. So?

So you now say that your claim that the crime “rate” in rural areas is higher is not true? Why lie?

Numbers vs rate… do u understand the difference?

The crime rate is /people.

There are more people in cities so while their crime rate is lower the number of crimes per square foot is higher because there are more people.


It’s math it’s probably over your head.

You are literally stupid. Like epic levels of ignorance stupid. Go sit this one out.

“Montgomery County, for example, had a violent crime rate of 165 incidents per 100,000 residents. That is a little more than two times Fairfax County's violent crime rate of 81 and 2.4 times Frederick County's violent crime rate of 68.”
https://wjla.com/amp/news/local/why-is-montgomery-countys-violent-crime-rate-twice-as-high-as-fairfax-countys

Montgomery County has a lower crime rate than 9 other counties and Baltimore City (http://goccp.maryland.gov/data-dashboards/crime-dashboard/). If you want to act like your position is informed by data, you should probably use more than two cherry-picked data points.

But violent crime is up for Montgomery County. Higher than pre-pandemic levels. That matters. And as I've said a million times, safety is not experienced equally across our County. People living in equity focus areas are in much more danger than someone living in Darnestown or Potomac.

Bethesda had an attempted armed carjacking this month.

Link? All I could find was these carjackings in November and December, which took place in Silver Spring and Gaithersburg:

1. Silver Spring Whole Foods at 9pm:

2. Silver Spring Popeyes, 9:30pm:

3. Gaithersburg residence, 1:30am

Outside Don Pollo.

Only stopped thanks to a police officer being right there. I would love to hear more about people who think they should be worried more about the police than criminals.

I try not to park in parking garages anywhere. At the Mall park outside, in Bethesda park in street. I find parking garages in Silver Spring, not street parking. I can shop at SS Wholefoods (parking lot).

Haven’t seen a downturn in the last few days.

An off-duty police officer. Not the same as posters demanding more patrols of Silver Spring.

You just made the part up about the officer being off duty. But it matters little because what you don’t know is that it was literally around the corner from the police station. Police presence matters.
