Oh this should be interesting. Hopefully they have learned lessons from the BLVD and have a way of managing the clientele there. Unfortunately a business like this will attract a wide range of individuals, both good and bad.

THIS ABSOLUTELY THE WORST DECISION EVER!!!!!!!! IT SHOULD OF MOVE TO DOWNTOWN SILVER SPRING......I CAN PROMISE YOU (GIVE IT A YEAR OR TWO) IT WILL SHUT DOWN.

I think your wrong champ- That area of PGC spends a lot of $$$$$- Look at chuck E Cheese in the BLVD compared to the one in Waldorf or Laurel, one is always packed the other 2 so-so

We love a good time, and love spending cash, whether we have it or nah LOL

And $$$ always talks

That's no different from Columbia Mall where the kid shot the place up, I'm sure they "knew their clientele" and didnt expect him to act like he did, some things you can't prevent-

The arguement over whether the likelihood of violence in Largo vs. Columbia may have some merit, however it would require us to factor in many other things, that unfortunately are far out of D and B's control and speak to a larger socio ecocnomic problem nation wide-

I think maybe you possibly have a vested interest in this failing, am I wrong? You seem to have a lot of hostitlity towards growth in the county? Or maybe just towards that darker part of the county? Like if they said this was going to happen in Bowie, you would probably be ok with it?

For someone named coolrob why do you act so emotional? I digress.

First of all, you don't know me, so don't try to suggest anything. I have said I hope it is successful, I just thought this was a point of concern. For you to sit here and interpret that as anything more than a suggestion is ridiculous.

Secondly, regardless of how you perceive the two shootings that happened, there is a stigma that is attached with multiple acts of violence happens in the same shopping center. You keep bringing up the Columbia shooting but when have you heard of it happening since? Have you heard anyone doing that before? The difference here is there was crime happening at the BLVD, which hurt businesses, which hurt the reputation of the shopping center, which cause the county to increase police presence. You don't add police presence off of two "isolated" situations.


Whether you see that as a real concern or not, that's reality. I'm not suggesting that Ritchie Station will be that way, I am speaking strictly about D&B. D&B attracts a certain demographic that is prone to be violent. It's not necessarily the area, as much as it's the type of establishment. The same people you see in a place like D&B and Sideline, you won't see in Chuck E. Cheese, Golden Corral, Big Lots, Dollar Tree or whatever other store is in either shopping center. The point is, as you just stated, the same unruly individuals that were in Uno's or the Sideline that night are more likely to go into D&B than any of the current establishments.

There were two incidents versus the one you keep bringing up in Columbia and a number of other crimes. Again, do police set up substations for two supposedly "isolated" incidents? Yes or No Rob?

Come on man- of course they are going to set it up after the fact, especially once they realized they were on the verge of losing the publics trust in safety- What's the point?

Once again, I'm sure Columbia Mall has set up extra safety measures as well after the mass shooting? I dont spend a lot of time up there but i'm sure the local cops are sepdning more time hanging around hot topics instead of Foot Locker now-

But did Columbia Mall get a substation after this one incident?

You aren't using any facts you are just expressing your opinion.

Lol

You are so bias. This information contradicts your argument. I am convinced at this point you are arguing for the sake of arguing. Make note, I am not trying to compare the two places folks, I'm just responding.

How does a place that has 20000 less people and has 70 more violent crimes, is considered the same safety wise?
