I just saw a link for DIJ.GOV where they were mapping crime hot spots

and on page 4 they use the area north of Pa ave as the example.

Your hot spots map from five years ago?



"This is a hot spot map for robberies during 2007 in Washington, D.C.

The Adams Morgan-Columbia Heights area, U Street/Shaw, and Chinatown

have experienced gentrification in recent years, with homicide rates

going down."



Hey, if it keeps racist white trash like Herring out of DC...



That is really only 3 years old in statistical terms. The FBI

reporting is 2 years behind.



I doubt it really looks any different today. That map could be 30

years old and it would still look about the same.



I bet if they went out East of the Anacostia river the whole map would

be a hot spot, all the way out past the beltway.





Many parts of Anacostia are pretty grim. About once every two weeks, I

have to drive to DC rather than take the commuter bus or the Metro, and

many times I drive along Pennsylvania Avenue into and out of the city,

right through Anacostia. I've also Metro'd in to see the Nats play, and

that goes right through Anacostia, too. Over the years, I've been on

commerical and large scale residential jobsites all over DC, including

Anacostia. I've parked in Anacostia and walked several blocks to job

sites when onsite parking wasn't available. You'd think by now I would

have seen a few reasons for those hot spots, eh?



The only places I've been shot at in the United States have been in the

South, once in Mississippi and once in south Louisiana, and both times

the shooter was white, and the areas were rural.

Kevin's kin??



The first was stupid enough to have been. The second was during an
organizing drive for oil rig supply crews, and the shooter was just an
asshole guard who thought (wrongfully) that it was "illegal" to set up a
picket line on a public sidewalk outside the yard's main gate.
