You really don't want to be near Five Points alone at night... I grew up on the other side of 164 and that area has been headed in a sketchy direction for at least ten years. It really depends on where you are in town.
Ugh this is the THIRD case I've seen within the last week where the perp has a significant record, posts bond and then a few days later commits a significantly more heinous crime. I wish bond would be significantly higher for violent, repeat offenders so they are less likely to post it.
I think you are onto something.
WSHS Band parents are begging the news media to stop showing the video of the kids being hit and no one is listening. This is horrific.
A journalist posted it and I believe the tweet is on page 7 or 8. There was a stabbing ~1/2 mile away prior to the incident.
One of the heroes who rushed to help and was quoted in one of the articles was a teacher I had over 15 years ago. Honestly one of the most kind, selfless people I have ever met - I would join as many clubs as I could after school as a refuge from a really awful home environment and Mr. Kind ran woodworking club. I was the only girl who'd shown up in a few years and the club wasn't super popular but he taught me how to not be afraid of tools and that building things/using my hands was a good coping strategy. He was (and still is) amazing with kids and knows how to reach the ones who need someone in their corner the most.
Local outlets here usually have an agreement with the police department to wait for the release of info - however the person that broke that is from a large national outlet.
