Reply to comment by Hmgeisler in WPXI: Pittsburgh police release details about sexual assault allegations against high school students by DanielAlman

Yeah. This is terrible, OP, but what point are you trying to make with your commentary?

My point is that I have lived in Squirrel Hill my entire life, and the people who live in this neighborhood are kind and decent. The violent crime that's happening here is being caused by people from other neighborhoods. That is a fact. It is the truth.

I never understood the people who use the “these criminals don’t live here” response when crime happens in their neighborhood.

Who cares where they live? If you are getting robbed would you feel better if your neighbor was doing it? The red flag is where the crime is happening not where the criminal goes home to rest his head

It seems like you are really saying that you don’t want outsiders in your neighborhood which is a very privileged way of thinking. Maybe build a wall around squirrel hill?

I'm happy to have the 99.9% of visitors to Squirrel Hill who are law abiding. You do raise a good point.

Kind of elitist....but whatever.

It's not about money. I myself do not own a car or a smart phone, and I live in a one bedroom apartment.

Why do you keep volunteering all this personal information about yourself? Nobody cares.
