Quite peaceful? There were four shootings in ten days and at least two people killed [1]. I personally went there and within a span of an hour or so that I was there I saw a woman screaming about how she had been raped and I saw a mob of people violently ejecting a street preacher.

- ALittleLight 6y agoThere were somewhere between 1 and 10 thousand people living in the zone. If we assume it was 10 thousand, and there were 2 murders inside of 10 days, then that works out to a rate of 73 (2*36.5) murders per year per 10k people, or 730 murders per 100k. That's approximately 7 times the rate of the most murderous city in the world[1]. I don't know what the murder rate in the neighborhood was prior to the occupation, but I'm pretty confident it wasn't nearly that high. 1 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_by_murder_rate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_by_murder_rate
