[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To me, it's a Silver Spring problem. If you look at Rockville which is similar size population-wise, they dont' have double murders.

Or an innocent man walking to his car in the parking garage after dinner with his family murdered:

Or a shootout on the downtown streets during the day:

Bethesda is similar in population. It also has similar levels of urbanization and this stuff isn’t happening.

What is especially weird to me is that all of the way too online TPSS YIMBY urbanism activists also are very much anti-law enforcement and effectively pro-crime. They are getting the downtown SS they want, which is deeply unpleasant. [/quote]

Bethesda has murders… lululemon, the painter murder, the guy making tunnels, kids have killed their parents, [/quote]
That’s 15 years of Bethesda murders versus a few months in Silver Spring. [/quote]
Since Jan 1 there have been 3 homicides in the 3d police district (downtown silver spring). Including these two. [/quote]
The PP listed 3 murders in Bethesda since 2011 (and one in Kensington).

The overwhelming majority of homicides in Montgomery County every year occur in only 3 areas: Germantown, Gaithersburg and Silver Spring. In Silver Spring, it is split between two neighborhoods, downtown and White Oak, and the violence and particularly the gun violence in Silver Spring is increasing. In terms of gun crime, it’s now indistinguishable from adjacent communities in PG County.

It’s not a war zone but also not safe. [/quote]

It’s economic. Wealthy criminals have more sophisticated schemes and a legal system that protects them so you just don’t hear about it as much.[/quote]
