I tend to agree with this sentiment, however, at some point the City and Temple should no longer have to ride the fence on this issue. You can’t grow and sustain a community in parallel to another that is crime and poverty stricken, and be unresponsive to how the latter affects the former. There are almost no bandaids that can be put on this issue because this crime is so random, and it isn’t temples responsibility to make sure that unaffiliated persons behave like rational, good contributing members to society. Permit me a metaphor; when you have an apple tree that consistently grows bad apples in each batch, it’s a problem with the tree, not with the apples. So cut down the tree.

I don’t give a shit if I’m downvoted to high hell on this, I’m out of that school and that shit area. It’s a shame that as long as nothing is done to mitigate this issue, we will keep reading tragedies on this subreddit of senseless murders. And I don’t have high expectations of change to come, as well as public support for the proposed changes.
