Not true. I’ve been paying attention this year and absolutely people paid a lot of attention to the 6 year old girl who was recently killed and many others that happened in other neighborhoods. This is like the third daylight shooting in a neighborhood that is a major destination which is why it’s getting attention. These arguments are so stupid. [/quote]

Yes, I live within half a block of the three shootings that have happened in the last five weeks (drive by shooting into a building on the 1400 block of R where no one was hit, the shooting of the man from TP out for dinner, and Thursday’s shooting). 14th and R/Riggs have been “problematic” for the 20 years I’ve lived here. I’m glad this area is getting some attention but I have zero faith that anything will change. There is open air drug dealing on the 1400 block of R daily. I’ve been told that the police “can’t really do anything because this has been going on for so long” and that maybe we should “just not walk down those blocks” or my favorite “maybe you should move.” If there are no consequences, nothing is going to change.
