Commanders RB Brian Robinson Shot Multiple Times

[wppete]

Insane. What’s going on in this country? Getting out of control.

You don’t remember DC in the 80’s, do you?

Geezus, the world is out of control right now.  Glad to hear he is in stable condition already, hopefully he makes a speedy and full recovery.

This happens everyday man. Just not often it happens to a professional athlete. This is why i avoid lots of areas in wny. Not worth taking that chance of walking across that one desperate guy that has nothing to lose.

Hope for a speedy recovery for the kid 🤙🏼

I’m sure the Commanders are glad they stole McKissick back..

We’re there any details as to where this occurred?  Unfortunately, there are certain neighborhoods you just don’t want to go at night.

I thought I read H Street.  Don’t have a cross street. But H is usually a safe area.

Thanks Jag.  To give an example, if Cook was driving a BMW in Hamburg, and was shot in a robbery, I would be surprised.  Not that there is no crime in Hamburg, but a lot less likely than another area.  I will say a prayer for the guy.  It’s not a great way to start you’re NFL career.  For the most part, Rivera comes across as a class act, so hopefully they keep him on PUP as I’m sure he’ll need a month to recover.

Another thing just like this happened in broad daylight in front of Nationals park.

 

It’s crazy out there

 

post said “1000 block of H Street NE.”

 

It’s right near metro center and Penn quarter.

They ain't no good for nothin' else.
And if you like to drink your whiskey
You might even shoot yourself.
So why don't we dump 'em people
To the bottom of the sea
Before some ol' fool come around here
Wanna shoot either you or me.
Mr. Saturday night special
Got a barrel that's blue and cold
Ain't good for nothin
But put a man six feet in a hole

It sure feels like (even if not true) that crime is rampant right now. It may simply be due to the quick access to news we have now, but scary.

In major American cities, first half of 2022 compared to previous period:

 

Residential burglaries (+6%)

Nonresidential burglaries (+8%)

Larcenies (+20%)

Motor vehicle thefts (+15%)

Aggravated assaults (+4%)

Robberies (+19%)

Murder (-2%) ... but up 39% overall since the pandemic/2000 summer of social unrest

Everything is a cycle, but those who are mocking people for saying things are out of control, are out of touch.

Up? Yes.  But those numbers do not signal "out of control.".

Aggressively, and consistently, trending up. 

 

Better?

This isn't the place for this discussion, but obviously crime is going to increase as more people exit pandemic-era isolation, return to work, etc. How do the numbers compare to 2018/2019? Of course there are other dynamics at play too.

Yeah, or maybe it’s the lax criminal justice system that society has now embraced.

Numbers are definitely up since the pandemic began.  There's no denying that.  And there's plenty of potential reasons for the rise in crime (which I won't name, but that both sides of the political spectrum like to spout as gospel) that we need to analyze the data on further before drawing any firm conclusions.  I just take issue with the histrionics displayed by folks who call crime "out of control" as if we've descended into some Judge Dredd style nightmare.  I suspect they live far too much through television news and social media.
