    Default 15th & Market- Denver's number one intersection for shootings

    It happened again...

    https://www.denverpost.com/2019/03/1...street-denver/

    Given the number of early morning shootings there over the past few years, you would think DPD would just stake out the whole block in the midnight - 6 am window.

    Who woulda thunk that having a bunch of uppity hip-hop nightclubs clustered together would cause issues?

    I read that article but saw this headline on the side:

    Shoplifting suspect shot and killed by police at Park Meadows Mall...

    I thought, based on the headline, police officers just decided to shoot the theft suspect. Imagine my surprise to find out that wasn't the case. What really led to the shooting was the suspect ran from the police officers and then pulled a gun on them. Then the police officers shot him. Who would've thought the Denver Post would print a misleading headline like that.

    I was present for a shooting there once. It was 17th and Market. There was a stabbing the next weekend.

    One of our favs too! We've cut back and haven't been in a long time.

    Denver obviously has an issue with casual crime/violence but the Dims will frame this in terms of "gun violence" and demand more gun control.

    So just ban LoDo and all the violence goes away
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    Well...that's what I did. Haven't been to LoDo in years. Haven't had any problems either.

    Sorry folks... crime, shootings & stabbings aren't anything new there. Doesnt anyone remember that area from 25+ years ago before they took out the viaducts & it was pre re-revitalization?!

    Hoodlums went down there to see how many times they could get in a ruckus & still make it back home by dawn.
