In two years, there were three triple murders (acts of gun violence ) within one block of my apartment, my car was stolen (a win for the environment), I was robbed at gunpoint (you didn't earn that), and twice someone tried to break into my apartment (that's what insurance is for) while I was there.

Not all of the triple murders were by gunfire, for whatever difference it makes to you. One that I will never forget occurred at the Lincoln Park Tourist Hotel, on the SE corner of Lincoln Park and 13th Street, SE. Two women had their throats slit, and a baby was drowned in a bathtub. So common was ultra-violence in those days, the WAPO ran it as a small item on the inside of the Metro section in one edition.
