Unfortunately, the shootings in the Warehouse district with a police officer in close proximity and the murder on Public Square have sealed my decision not to visit downtown this summer or any time in the near future.

The city needs to stop blaming KIA, handguns, poverty, lack of opportunity for higher education (see article outling free college tuition) etc. and find some solutions.

I still visit downtown when I can, but I'm now more cautious about my surroundings. The blame game indeed is hurting rather than helping.
