Something positive about Miami crime (Cleveland: city hall, homes, middle school)

[tallrick]

After seeing the story about the crazy man that shot up a Kirkwood Missouri city hall I was thinking about all the city hall and school massacres and realized that nothing has happened like that in the Miami area. Despite having a bad reputation it seems like Miami residents are not mass-murderers by nature. No sniper has ever gone after Team Metro employees or a mad bulldozer driver destroying the homes of corrupt officials. We have never had a school massacre. The only thing close was the former comissioner who shot himself in the Miami Herald building. Could it be that Miami-Dade residents are not as aggressive as people think?

or it could be that if they took out a gun to shoot up a school they'd probably get shot by another student

No. It's just that after all the high taxes we don't have enough money left to afford the bullets.

You are forgetting the kid that lured a classmate into the bathroom and stabbed him 30 times to death at a middle school in South Dade.

There have also been gang rapes in the schools. Overal, the crimes are more one on one which is scary, but I think since the schools are so well defended with police officers and security guards, it is harder for someone to do a mass murder thank god. Also interesting to not, those type of crimes tendo to happen in areas that are unaccostomed to violence, the inner city schools rarely have that, except for the recent event in Cleveland Ohio a few months back.

Also, DCPS does a good job of keeping the lid on crime on campus.
