Violent Crime on Capitol Hill Jumps In Past 30 Days
PSA 107 Meets Thursday Night – 7:00pm – S.E. Library
by Larry Janezich
Violent crime statistics in the heart of Capitol Hill – the home of PSA 107 – jumped in the past 30 days over the previous 30 days.
The PSA saw an increase in violent crime to 15 incidents in the period from October 4 to November 3, up from 5 during the period from September 4 to October 3.
The PSA saw the biggest increase in robberies both with and without a gun, as the MPD crime maps below show. In addition, there was an increase in assaults with and without a gun.
MPD District 1 also saw an increase in violent crime to 95 incidents during the period from October 4 to November 3, up from 66 during the period from September 4 to October 3.
The increase in violent crime was most evident in robberies with a gun: other categories seeing increases included homicides, sex abuse, and robberies excluding gun. There was a slight decrease in assaults.
MPD District 1 has arrested at least two groups of individuals who they believe are responsible for many of the robberies. Those individuals are reported to have come to Capitol Hill from MPD District Six. City officials and citizens groups have both been increasingly active lately in seeking ways to address the crime issues.

CAPITOL HILL CORNER 
Yep, a 300 percent increase in violent crime is just an “uptick.” Nothing to see here folks. Move along, move along.
And, now it seems that the woman who tried to mobilize the Hill community to work together to understand and roll back the crime surge has been stigmatized and intimidated into silence by a few fools who stupidly accuse her and the group as being insensitive. WTF? This is about protecting Hill citizens and CHILDREN of all races from criminals on the loose and supporting a police force that needs to be assured of community support. No, I didn’t say ‘police abuse is ok’.
