who the hell says I am afraid of blacks? That's actually funny, if you knew :) Just saying, over here the people who want to steal have better opportunities than street robberies.
http://www.sfreporter.com/stories/pay_to_play_a_z/4401/ http://www.newwest.net/index.php/city/article/3377/C110/L110 The metro police crime map for DC is pretty clunky but as far as I can tell any given address in the Capitol Hill area has had more crime in the last month than all of Downtown Albuquerque, which I give the usual definition of Lead to Lomas, I-25 to 12th Street. Let's call Capitol Hill oh G NE to G SE, 3rd NW/SW (not quite sure about this line but North Capitol does not seem to include enough) to 12th NE/SE. Check it out :) There may be better tools out there -- the trouble with the police map is that it insists on a specific address such as 403 Independence. Of course we can always define Capitol Hill to include the entire state of West Virginia, but yes, this will give you different results ;) On Wed, Aug 5, 2009 at 10:36 PM, Sam <[email protected]> wrote: > > This seems to be the bias I was referring to.
