Well, the homicide problem was doing well so far so good, but apparently this week it made a turn for the worse with 6 homicides occuring with the past week alone. The most distrubing ones was that associated with the incident that occurred in the parking lot of Banana Joe's on the Southside. A 16-year-old getting into the club, apparently having access to alcohol, thrown out of the club, and getting into a fight and later shooting killing 2 people and injuring 2 more in the process around the 3-4AM in the morning. This just doesn't bode well for the city's largest nightlife district or the area's attempts to reestablish itself as a safe area of the city to not worry about crime.
And the sad thing is, many people(including myself) were at the block party a couple hours prior to this, and everyone were just enjoying themselves....walking in the streets, conversating with people that who they don't even know, and a lot of drinking. Let's hope that we could get CAPS down there or some other form of protection.
That little 16 year old had no business there though...that is ridiculous.
