The head in sand brigade that wants to make excuses for this murder say Silver Spring is no more dangerous than anywhere else and particularly DTSS near the transit station. They say that if you are near transit after dark in the DMV, you should expect violence. I am not the one who is arguing this. I am just asking questions about this because if it is true, then we should not want transit in our communities if we also have to accept the risk of getting murdered.

Who exactly is this "we" who should not want transit in "our" communities, and which transit are you saying "we" should not want? And why aren't you saying that "we" should not want parking garages, which is where the murder actually occurred?[/quote]
I’m honestly confused at this point. Is violence a fact if life and urbanization that society should accept happens everywhere and particularly in urbanized areas?

Is there a reason why there’s more violent crime and murders in DTSS or it is just a freak statistical artifact?[/quote]

Crime is always higher in urban areas because there are more people. Crime rate is higher in rural states but that is per capital no straight numbers.

Poverty and the lack of resources like Appalachia have high crime rates.[/quote]
This would make total sense except for the fact that the crime “rate” in Montgomery County as a whole is 2.5X Frederick County and most of the crime in Montgomery County is occurring is just a 4 areas, which includes DTSS and adjacent communities. [/quote]
