I have a question to ask you, since you have been a LEO in the past. Do you see the flash mobbing or shoting go down in during the cold weather months?
The outdoor shooting tend to drop off during the winter months, but the tempers don’t. I have a non-scientific theory that heating your house with the oven makes people crazy.
Anywhere the youths gather indoors, there is going to be a fight, stabbing or shooting and it takes awhile for the tempers to cool; always someone out for revenge and it’s usually over something stupid,like “what you said to my lil cousin?”
The hot months does have more violence though and any venue that promotes a family setting is going to bring the troublemakers.
I and alot of others won’t go to Six Flags anymore because of the ignorant and rude SOBs there. They also don’t allow any to carry in there, including LEOs.
Not a LEO, but it’s my understanding that some of these attacks took place in malls. Anywhere that crowds of people gather could be vulnerable.
Your question was not directed to me, but I believe here is another problem...maybe.
It is also summer vacation for those who pretend to attend school. This could add to the mix...maybe not...Just saying.
