OP here again, can anyone translate this sentance
WASHINGTON - Since Christmas Eve, the normally quiet Shepherd Park neighborhood has seen a string of armed robberies and car break-ins. Police officers have told neighbors it may have to do with something the city can fix. |

| The street lights weren't on. The author is saying the city can fix the street lights, as the robberies occur when the lights are out |

| Why did you have to mention SS? |

Because if you cross the street you are in SS. |

b/c what does it matter if she's a nurse or an EMT or a nanny or a SAHM? She was robbed. plain and simple . . . |

There's this thing called journalism in which facts are gathered to round out a story. The who, what, where, when. The newspaper does not merely print "A person committed a criminal act in the vicinity yesterday." And it matters because nannies are out and about during the day and other nannies and parents may want to take special care. |

Are we allowed to say it was a person who was robbed? Can we identify the robber as a person if we're sure to not mention sex, race, approximate age, approximate height/weight, hairstyle, or clothing? |

Actually, there's nothing in the article that indicates this was the part of Shepherd Park close to Silver Spring. |

| Shepherd Park is extremely quiet. There are sections of the neighborhood that has less street lighting than others. I find there is less crime here than in my old WotP neighborhood. |
