Double homicide in Silver Spring

[Anonymous]

Yes, much better to talk about upcoming and hook bars versus the real issue.

Too many guns.

Well, getting guns off the street would require more pretextual police stops and use of stop and frisk. I'm 100% for it but I'm not sure any jurisdiction in this area has the guts to do it.

Honestly, there is no way I would live in any area of Silver Spring in an apartment building or close proximity to an apartment building.

What I don’t get is why lower income residents of Silver Spring have such a higher propensity for violence than lower income residents in Fairfax or Alexandria.

Exactly. They want to pass more and more gun safety laws but don't want police to use enforcement mechanisms to actually get them off the streets.

Ok? Nobody is forcing you to do that.

Though it is an odd conclusion to draw from an incident where the shooting and killing was done by the police.

If you read the story, the man was holding a hostage. Who wants to live near unstable, violent criminals?

If you read the story, the man was in the apartment with his mother. Please tell me where in Montgomery County it's possible to avoid living near people who have mental health crises, parents, and access to guns.

Can you tell me where in the world you can live where nobody has a mental health crisis?

At the same time, the wealthy fight tax increases that either would supply law enforcement personnel at a level that could be effective without resorting to shortcut means that are inequitable (e.g., profiling-dependent stop and frisk) or would support social programs that would tend to reduce the tendency towards violent crime in the first place.

Well, that's not what the police news release says, but if that's what he was doing, then yes, that is something that people experiencing mental health crises do. Which parts of Montgomery County don't have people experiencing mental health crises? I live a long way from Silver Spring, nowhere near any apartments, and a family member called the police again for another welfare check on one of my neighbors, just last week.

What worries me is that you think this is true. Police are the only thing that wealthy people everywhere agree to pay for through taxes.

What is your basis for saying that he was having a mental health crisis?

It’s in the police report.

You can go to the go fund me page by his family and they talk about struggling to help him with his mental health.
