That's pretty absurd to say you want to get out of Englewood just because stuff like this happens on a frequent basis. Are you involved with gangs or drugs yourself? If not, you are magically impervious to flying bullets.



Well, that does seem to be the prevailing opinion on these boards. There are no dangerous neighborhoods and only people involved in criminal actiivity are victims.

Murders and crime is everywhere! Dnt be stupid thinking your mixed community will be so great. Research the stats-not WHAT you see and here on every news channel. I live in a quiet suburb and my neighbor was molesting and murdered 3 small alter boys! Is that any better? I

Englewood had more murders last summer than the state of Wyoming had in all of 2008. Works out to 55 times the murder rate

So wait -- if crime and murder is "everywhere" then why bother researching the stats? Oh wait -- because there are huge variations in the prevalence of crime and murder from place to place after all, that's why.
