[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Downtown is packed today and crime stats are back down well within the norm - the whole DC is empty and full of crime is old news[/quote]

You call having 182 murders so far this year while Baltimore has 190 as crime being down within the norm?

Chicago has 544 murders and 2.6 million people. DC has 678,000 people. If DC had Chicago’s population we’d have more than 700 murders so far this year. If the norm is okay with you, that’s sad. [/quote]

And Philadelphia has 193 murders this year and has 1.5 million people. DC has 182 murders and 678,000 people.

New York has 352 murders this year and 8.2 million people.

LA has 266 murders this year and a population of 3.8 million people.

If being as dangerous as Baltimore, more dangerous than Chicago, more than twice as dangerous as Philly, and waaay more dangerous than LA and NYC is the norm to you, we have to aim much higher.
