For sure, some of the worst by some accounts. I’m not that familiar with the lower west side, but even by me wayyyy up north there are certain neighborhoods where if everyone got together in one place there’s almost a guarantee for violence.
Which I guess is my point, if that neighborhood has a lot of issues with gang violence the event planners should have been proactive and secured different spot. If they didn’t see it coming or the police got wind of something the day of, not much anyone can really do.
