So your claim is don’t worry everything is fine, don’t pray for this area where people are dying. Your source that says that there hasn’t been a spike in gun crime is the LAPD... you realize how unreliable of a source that is right?

When someone starts an article with “You don’t need to pray for LA.” while your neighbors are getting shot, it’s hard not to get offended, if you can understand my perspective

I didnt say you did, but I did assert that the author was extremely insensitive about this subject. I actually agree that the media will warp this for their own narrative, but that doesn’t detract from the danger of this area and that its increased since the hashtag. And I would love to move out of here if I could…

That’s a lot of theorizing. Let me deal you some facts:

And yet innocent children on our streets are still getting shot at. What makes you think gang threats are not to be taken seriously? There’s been a sharp increase of shootings in this area since that dumb hashtag stuff started. This is a fact that this “article” completely ignored. People are already dying...

You need to do better research, you failed to mention ANY of the people who have been shot in this area since this hashtag. Just because you are ignorant doesn’t mean this isn’t reality for the people here. Did you even look into this at all? This isn’t an article and you should have your integrity as a journalist…

Miss, I’d like you to know as a resident of the West Adams neighborhood I find this post extremely insensitive to the children that are dying on our streets right now. Idk where you get your info but there has most definitely been a sharp increase in shootings, specifically at bystanders.

I’m sorry this article is so incredibly stupid. I live in West Adams and there has been TWENTY shootings in FIVE DAYS since that damn hashtag shit. Look I do not doubt that the media will use this for awful motives but do NOT trivialize the goddamn FACT that this neighborhood is in legit danger. This article is so…
