How is running Downtown District???? Get a handle on this. Sounds like a leadership issue.

Indy becoming more and more like Chitcago every day!

Now imagine what it'll be like in every big city in the US when the economy really tanks. This crime wave will pale in comparison.

Time for a reorganization and redeployment of Police Assets to down town. We cannot have the Crony-Capitalist Model of down town happiness under the threat of bad publicity.

Those of us who live out side the down town bubble will just have to get along. Perhaps the City could put a sign similar to the Berlin Wall you are now leaving down town, you are on your own.

Anon 653, I don't believe you were ever a Republican. This is your way of hiding your true self and saying "Blame the GOP!"

I don't believe for one minute the Democraps have clean hands here either. I have SEEN that corruption.

Please do not blame one party. There is PLENTY to go around!

Agreed but aren't nearly all rape stats false in the sense that they don't capture the under reporting of that crime?

I'd be curious to see the numbers associated with the percentages - e.g., sometimes it's easy to double rapes by moving from one to two...

Just when I thought corrupt Greg Ballard and the amoral Marion County GOP could not further ruin what used to be a wonderful, urban living experience, we have proof of the rot accelerated under our corpulent, lawless ex-soldier.

Why would I vote Republican ever again... or even vote? Marion County as a whole is in serious decline. The Democrats should take no glee that the county trends Democrat. All this cheap downtown housing crap at Overland Park KS prices is not going to work over the long haul... the Dems are going to have a huge mess on their hands.

I daily pray to The Almighty that the corrupt Greg Ballard has chains and prison wrist irons on his.

Gary, you mean to tell me all that even after all glitzy downtown development the area is still plagued by high crime? That just can't be. King Ballard said everything is great downtown.

Ahhh, the irony in TIF funded projects... so many new residents consuming more city resources, but the property tax dollars that would otherwise pay for needed services are siphoned off to pay the debt on their cheaply built apartment complexes!
