Same. I live near DTSS but we go to a Columbia Mall or Bethesda.

Bethesda had an attempted armed carjacking this month.

Link? All I could find was these carjackings in November and December, which took place in Silver Spring and Gaithersburg:

1. Silver Spring Whole Foods at 9pm:

Oh, so let's talk about this! There was some sort of anti violence appropriation back in the spring. Money to do exactly that -- add cameras, do some sort of violent crime information center to get real time info to police so they could prevent and respond to crime. And Silver Spring Justice Coalition protested it. They've got Jawando in their back pocket. Fortunately the rest of the Council didn't go along with it. Craig Rice read them the riot act for being a bunch of old white people claiming to represent the needs and the wants of the Black community.

Well, as a progressive white person I’m completely in favor of increasing camera surveillance. It’s been helpful in small neighborhood crime on our street. More information is a good idea.

Do you think that the suspect is a Bethesda resident?

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?

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?

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.

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.

Most crime in MD and VA border DC. So?

So you now say that your claim that the crime “rate” in rural areas is higher is not true? Why lie?

Numbers vs rate… do u understand the difference?

The crime rate is /people.

There are more people in cities so while their crime rate is lower the number of crimes per square foot is higher because there are more people.


It’s math it’s probably over your head.

You are literally stupid. Like epic levels of ignorance stupid. Go sit this one out.

“Montgomery County, for example, had a violent crime rate of 165 incidents per 100,000 residents. That is a little more than two times Fairfax County's violent crime rate of 81 and 2.4 times Frederick County's violent crime rate of 68.”

Montgomery County has a lower crime rate than 9 other counties and Baltimore City (http://goccp.maryland.gov/data-dashboards/crime-dashboard/). If you want to act like your position is informed by data, you should probably use more than two cherry-picked data points.
