[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]It seems like every day there are multiple shootings in DC. Many of them are full out gunfights that you might expect in the O.K. Corral -- multiple shooters and 10s of bullets flying everywhere. I moved to DC in 1986 in the midst of the crack epidemic when daily murders were a normal thing. But we knew what they were tied to drugs. Now, I have no idea what is provoking these shootings and I see no discussion of the causes anywhere (there maybe some that I've missed). Does anyone have any idea what is going on?

I, for one, thank you for not only allowing, but also starting this thread. A well-known DC blog has banished all discussion about crime.[/quote]

I can understand that blog's position because such discussions so often turn very racist very fast. I really had a lot of trepidation about starting this thread for fear that it would go the same way. I am really happy to see that even the posters I didn't exactly agree with have kept discussion serious and reasonable. I hope it will stay that way.

I think it's cordial [i]because[/i] you started it. I actually wish you would start more discussion threads -- anything from deep thoughts about society to what color socks people are wearing today. In a sea of Anonymous bickering, having not only a registered poster but the website owner in the convo keeps topics on track.[/quote]
