[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To all the posters who say they live in Silver Spring and it isn't a war zone - do you live in a SFD/TH/nicer apartment building? Do you live in one of the nice sections? A nice street where the violence isn't occurring? Or do you live in that low-income apartment complex when the majority of shootings is taking place?

If the former, do you not see how you are part of the problem? I guarantee you there are some good kids who live in that low-income apartment complex. Good kids who should be able to grow up and not worry about their safety/future. Good kids who shouldn't have to be exposed to this type of crime just because their parents are poor.

Like someone else said, those families don't have the luxury to move. They are stuck there. Shouldn't those kids deserve a safe place to live just like our kids do? How is living in an unsafe place negatively affecting them? Of course, there's always the main issue of making sure they stay alive and not inadvertently killed by gunfire. But there's also the negatives of living in such a stressed environment. How is it affecting their school work? Their brain development?

What is being done to ensure those kids can live in a safe, peaceful environment? Not prosecuting the criminals so they can still have their guns/shoot and kill people?[/quote]

Agreed. Overwhelming the majority of people living there are law abiding folks just trying to live their lives. But they have fewer resources and cannot create resiliency and safety to the same extent  higher income people do. [/quote]

MoCo needs to place enforcement resources where there is greater noncompliance, not spread them out so that each area "has theirs."[/quote]
