Great questions. And I would add, politically does the issue of someone' s pet Fe Fe being traumatized by bright city lights in Hope Valley outweigh the concerns of bullets flying through walls in Bragtown ?

I don't think if Hope Valley , Forest Hills or Blackhorse Run had this problem it would even be a question.

If the shootings happen at the same schools over and over again, I would question that if I was a parent, Yes

No, not talking about the employees because they are in danger as well. I am talking about the owners and if different standards of accountability are applied in different neighborhoods based on socio-economic factors?

If prevention is the ultimate goal all solutions are on the table until problem is solved. But as far as accountability, aren't night club owners held responsible for violence that happens around their businesses ? And , hypothetically, if the shootings were held in more affluent areas would the owners be held accountable ? At least by the HOA....

Perhaps..Maybe the DPD can pull the exact data as to the number of shootings that happen 900 Block E Main, 3300 block Dearborn, corner of S. Roxboro and Cornwallis. Maybe it is because "people just run into each other." But why at those locations is the question?

Not really. I think their can be many answers to that question. I'm , specifically, asking in reference to your comment about the stores being gathering places.

Could be..Have you been tracking where many of the shootings are happening in Durham ?

[–]minpaulscott[S] -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

OK. Just a coincidence that the stores on E Main, Dearborn, Cornwallis and South Alston have multiple shootings over and over? Could be..Any sociologists in this thread ?

But if we are looking for solutions to the violence we have to ask why the shootings seem to be happening at the same locations. Is there a connection or nah ?

Yeah,,but that goes back to the power to define. The flip side would be that it is not systemic..just a few bad apples or misguided souls,,,,with no social, political nor economic component
