[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The argument presented was that calling 911 when you see a group of 3 ski-mask wearing people walking down your street is a form of racist profiling. Why? Not sure, presumably because the only people wearing ski-masks and wandering around the Hill are young black kids.

And to clear up your confusion, yes, I am saying that (on Capitol Hill at least) it is only people of a particular race that are wearing ski masks.[/quote]

So, this really isn't about ski masks, rather about people who bought in gentrifying neighborhoods now regretting their decisions. Got it.[/quote]

Hmm, seems you still don't get it. No regrets here--in fact, the police have been very responsive when I call. It's odd, though that you somehow think violent street crime is somehow normal, and that its victims have somehow brought it upon themselves. Certainly says a lot about the sort of person you are.[/quote]

I thought we were talking about property crime. Are you moving the goal posts? What violent crime?

Anyway, I think it's VERY odd that people would move into a neighborhood, knowing what the crime statistics look like, and then act indignantly when it happens. So, yeah, if crime is a problem when you buy the house, that's the norm. The fact that you decide to grace the neighborhood with your eminent presence (oh, thanks be to God!) isn't really relevant.

The fact that you resorted to an ad-hominen attack actually says a lot more about you than it does about me.[/quote]
