What’s your point

Stating a fact, not making a point. It's not a judgement call to say all but one of these shootings was isolated to a small portion of the city

The vast majority of 2/8 Wards, roughly 1/4 of the population and 1/4 the land area of the city is "a small portion of the city?"

Pull em up on a map. You can walk to at least 2-3 from another.

The “fwiw” seemed like you were trying to add more than just location data … sorry if asking this question upset you

Seems like you’re reading into that. Probably the majority of redditors here are wotr so it’s relevant that it wasn’t more local to this population.

Fwiw says “if you’re nw, it wasn’t around you so maybe that makes you feel better”.

Sorry if this response upsets you. (I don’t mean that, just trying to show you what it sounds like).

People on this sub don’t actually care about crime over there

I think most of this sub wishes there were less crime everywhere, more opportunity, more equity, etc.

Most of this sub also wants to know if this happened near their homes as well.

I don’t get why people are jumping on this. Everyone - you included - cares more about crime near your home than crime further away.

You’re not a bad person for that.

Sure. And you feel differently, with different intensity, about different parts of the city.
