[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Violence like this happens when you concentrate poverty in one location. Gentrification speeds like that process a little bit. Violent crime going up 45% in DC isnt a blip, but a symptom of a bigger problem. [/quote]

Clay Terrace has been poverty personified for at least 4 decades. This is not a new thing. This girl is hardly the first (or second, or third, fifth, or tenth) child murdered there.

You have a community that tolerates this. That's what it comes down to. They tolerate it. Because it keeps happening.

There are people in that neighborhood who know exactly who those shooters are. They could pick up their phone right now and make a call to Crimesolvers, and tell the police who did it.

But they don't.

Until they get tired of burying their kids, nothing is going to change. What happened to that little girl was a tragedy. But the community's reaction is the real outrage.  [/quote]

As much as you try to spin this to support your pro-gun rhetoric, this is not something you can blame on the community.  It's sad that you think the "real outrage" is the community's reaction, when a 10 year old girl is dead and guns kill nearly 1,300 kids a year in the United States.  That's the outrage.  The US is the only developed country in the world with this level of gun violence.
