Agree, there's nothing wrong with a reasonable discussion regarding crime.

I look through this thread, and there has been almost NO REASONABLE DISCUSSIONS of any of the crimes posted here. Crimes are posted, and there is little or no response.

So where is the reasonable discussion happening? Am I missing that thread?

I reply to things that interest me. The other current threads haven't piqued my interest, but I'm pretty sure I've commented on many other Boston threads over the years. I have no nefarious interest otherwise.

Crime is a problem, and at no point should they not be kept on their toes.
You caught me! I'm pulling down two paychecks - data analyst, and I work for Boston politicians to troll city data. You guys are real detectives!

Three posts on what appears to be a pretty major crime. Not one comment so far... Where is the "reasonable discussion on crime" I keep hearing about that makes this thread so valuable?

Well, yours is the 1974th post on 198 pages. How about one more regarding your real objection?
