[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So people can make up stuff about the middle class parents at the Ws and just is just forum banter but if one points out that FARMs rates and EOLS levels are indacators of gang activity it gets deleted? Why is it mean to point out that one should look for concentrations of the typical demographics that make up a body to calculate the likelihood of them being there? Or is it mean to point out that people are poor and don’t speak English at a native level?  Yes all poor kids are gang members but just about every gang member is a poor kid and how many MS13 kids are taking AP English?  [/quote]

For the same reason you can't look at neighborhoods with a lot of muslims as an indicator of terrorist activity or neighborhoods with a lot of poor whites as indicators of white supremacist activity. How about neighborhoods of "loner white men" as indicators of mass shooting activity. Neighborhoods of fraternity boys as indicators of violent hazing behavior.

You can't do these things because the rare outlier of any group does not bear any resemblance to the average person in that group.[/quote]

Well Hugh populations of Muslims does increase one’s odds of a Muslim terrorist just as Hugh populations of white people increases the risk of a crazy white person.  Gangs are mostly poor and ignorant individuals so why is it taboo to point out that the clearest metric the schools provide to identity those types of kids?  How many MS13 do you think are at McLean HS? Now let’s talk Freedom High in Woodbridge, which public metric should people look at?[/quote]

Well, AAs are statistically more likely to be incarcerated than whites, so go ahead and cross off any schools with AAs. And to be fair, whites are much more likely to be alcoholics or addicted to opioids, so you'd better not go to schools with whites either. Asians are definitely known for being very stressed out due to parental demands, so cross them off too. OK, so who's left for your kids to go to school with so you know they'll always be safe and happy?[/quote]

Yah such rare outliers, rationalize all you want. All areas are not equal and there is a growing problem in silver spring and your Kumbaya attitude and indifference is enabling it. Enjoy you lower mortgage, you get what you pay for.

I don't understand the point of posting an article about an area with literally millions of people and saying "OMG crime!" It proves nothing. The majority of middle class families (and let's face it, on DCUM many of are UMC by national standards) on this board who live in SS are not exposed to this. [/quote]

Blind to it and not exsposed are two different things. Tell you what, I’ll bet you the next MS13 murder is in silver spring and you bet Bethesda and we will check back here in a week of so when it happens.[/quote]
