[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]My guess is the Woodley Park people don"t want gang activity in their neighborhood. Why should they? [/quote]

Can you tell me which neighborhood wants gang activity?

I don't think anybody is suggesting people in Woodley Park should welcome or even accept crime. There is simply disagreement over which steps are appropriate. Ending a tradition that is more than 100 years old because of two gun incidents over 15 years doesn't seem appropriate to many.

2 gun incidents, one of which was a mass shooting (6 or 7 victims, at least one critically wounded), plus a stabbing all on Easter Monday.  Add to that the fact that the 2014 Easter Monday shootings followed within a week of a shooting incident near a primary school in Woodley Park, in which fortunately no one was hit.  Moreover, the press have reported police theorize that the  the unruly crowd incidents on Easter Monday and the week before may have been connected and abetted by social media.  So yes, it's a good idea to re-examine the event and figure out what needs changing.[/quote]
