I actually think Shan raised a point worth considering at least.
Increased police patrols, as we have asked for, could possibly
mitigate people seeing our neighborhoods as reasonable locations to
either flee after a crime or hide the evidence of their crime.
Saying "well at least this person was not actually shot in our
neighborhood, just found here", leaves me feeling a little queasier
than I am comfortable with.
Either way I continue to be saddened and concerned by the high number
of violence related deaths in this city, whether they occur in my back
yard or not.
Respectfully,
Kristen
