[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]

How do you tolerate something you have no control over?

Most people in Clay Terrance abhor this, you think they wanted this to happen?

You think people wont call crimestoppers, despite possibly risking their lives to do so? Despite what you think, everyone in poverty stricken neighborhoods arent complicit in allowing a perp to roam free.

But its pretty delusional if you think solving this crime is going to stop future crimes. Crime will always happen in concentrated areas of poverty, period. Stop adding to the concentration high areas of wealth and high areas of poverty (and esp the mixing of people from feuding hoods) through gentrification.... then acting confused and sad when crime happens in these areas.
