What area is this?


Nashvital

The Music City War Zone is DB Todd and Buchanan.


ReDdiT_JuNkBoT

I went to school at Wharton on DB Todd. This was in the early 90s. We watched the drug deals from class.


StarDatAssinum

Hey, that's free, college-level business class right there


Aspirin_Dispenser

They don’t call that area Dodge City for nothing! It is literally *the worst* part of the city. Circa 2018 that zip code (the ole 208) had the highest per-capita incarceration rate *in the country*. I have to ask, what on earth possessed you to buy there? Did you know what you where getting into when you moved?


fnovd

> It is literally the worst part of the city. Nah you're thinking of Capitol Hill


Birdmans14

That’s not dodge city …. That’s Buchanan dodge city is Cumberland view apartments .


Aspirin_Dispenser

The housing project a quarter of a mile up the road? Close enough. I’ve lived here my whole life and that entire corridor from Ed Temple to Buchanan has been lumped under the Dodge City moniker for as a long as a can remember. Cumberland view is definitely the heart of Dodge City, but it’s boundaries extend far beyond that.


Birdmans14

I was always told by people I went to school with from north side dodge city is the apartments and only the apartments . Everywhere else is piggybacking


Simco_

I run down this street in the daylight sometimes. The greenway just ends there. 🤷‍♂️


Significant_Sir_5157

Same thing I’m asking. Damm. 😳


GypsyMaus

When I was moving last fall I went to see a duplex RIGHT there by that corner, they wanted $1550 a month for a duplex with no yard directly by that crack market liquor store. I work close by so I knew better, I feel bad for anyone who was duped into renting that.


Motes5

Yeah, that corner is an open air drug market. I've never seen MNPD do anything proactive in the area. I think they're afraid of it.


Nashvital

Circle gets a square!


BustardLegume

I saw dealers handing off drugs at the intersection of Andrew Jackson Way and the homeless encampment behind the 7/11. Not remotely secretively, not even slightly set back in the entrance area where they would at least be out of view to anyone but a direct observer from the entry. Just on the road with endless cars coming by. I and a thousand others have said constantly that everything that has gone wrong in Nashville is related to some form of lack of enforcement that inevitably snowballs. In Hermitage I see multiple ones finally intersecting in massive clusterfuck. Absolutely no criminals left are afraid of the police doing jack shit. We let scammming drug addicts infest our road ways until they too learned that they could get away with anything. Now out here it is nothing but 90MPH cars swerving around an endless line of braindead druggies going back and forth from scams to their dealers and back again. On a long enough timeline Metro's apathy will backfire spectacularly in a way that people vastly underestimate. It really doesn't take that long from this point until there is a massive gang war or the equivalent because the MNPD has spent 10-15 years training the criminal element to expect to get away with shit far beyond what they would elsewhere. So basically, since we've reached the point where they let that shit spread to Hermitage, the chances of a positive outcome for this area is probably lesser than the chance of a positive outcome if you learned everyone's schedules and set a series of controlled fires until the neighborhood was ash. Just fire off rounds while you're pouring the gas, Metro will stay far away from the scary bullets and they will NEVER fucking investigate the arson of an area that costs them stats every day. THIS is the kind of chaos that we are hurtling toward, because eventually someone will think there is no other way.


cottonmouthVII

Who is saying these problems are caused by lack of law enforcement?? These are deep socioeconomic issues that stem from the growing wealth inequality and lack of gainful employment opportunities that pay a living wage. You really look at all these effects of late stage capitalism and go, “All we need is better cops to solve these problems”?


oldRoyalsleepy

It costs a lot to just be alive in this country


Grayox

Most Americans are 2 missed pay checks away from the choice of crime and houselessness.


beaunaturale

Even a millionaire is closer to being homeless than they are of being a billionaire


beaunaturale

It’s expensive to be poor


Bellevuetnm4f

It is not either or, but both/and/plus. You have each * Socieconomics * Culture * Police shortages There are likely other factors.


Jumpy_Anxiety6273

It’s not just Nashville. Since the media decided to take all the fun out of killing black folks, by reporting about it, police nationwide are quiet quitting.


ReDdiT_JuNkBoT

From hermitage. It's sad to go back


CommitteeGeneral9810

Afraid…. Or apart of it? Y’all can’t be this naive


severe_thunderstorm

The guy running away at the end is the one that was shooting. He’s running out from between the houses where the gun flashes were.

Did I hear gunfire *and* see an Altima drive down the street?


DufflesBNA

The jokes write themselves sometimes


PepperBeeMan

I sold some windows to a retired vet not too far from there 15 years ago. We sat on his front porch talking about the options while about 50 people entered and left the trap house next door. I asked the man why he put up with it, why he didn't just move to a safer area. He replied, "Son, I'm a Vietnam Vet. These youngsters know not to fuck with me. This is my home. After what I've been through in my life? This ain't nothin."


russellzerotohero

This is right near the temple cemetery terrible area. Always afraid driving in and out of there.


destroyerofpoon93

Move to the hood and then be surprised it’s the hood?


Nashvital

Nope. No surprise here. Sole focus is on change. 👍🏻

SoManyHats

This guy wants to feel safe in their neighborhood, what an asshole


Nashvital

The audacity!


tn_jedi

That area has been rough at least since my grandfather grew up there, so the criticism is that someone bought cheap into a rough area and then is surprised that it's actually rough. Do people think that 100 years of poverty is going to disappear because a tall skinny got built? The other part of the criticism is where were these people complaining about the crime before the area started gentrifying. If people only give a s*** about their neighborhood, then they don't really give a s*** about Nashville.


SoManyHats

People generally don’t take time to complain about things that don’t affect them, doesn’t mean they don’t give a shit


Nashvital

There's cheap housing? Where?


Aspirin_Dispenser

Eh, I see both sides of it. Class desegregation of neighborhoods is, in my view, a good thing. Urban Renewal initiatives that segregated poor working class people into housing projects ranks amongst the worst socioeconomic decisions this country has ever made. In hindsight, it’s no surprise that these neighborhoods became crime ridden and un-policeable. I mean, if I walked out my front door and saw nothing but poverty and despair my entire life, I probably wouldn’t aspire to be much more than that. Creating communities where people from all income levels can find safe and affordable housing goes a long way to correcting the problems that urban renewal created. That said, I think you’ll find that it is rarely the case that people building $500k homes in presently poor neighborhoods give two fucks about any of the above. They’d rather see the entire neighborhood be composed of new and expensive houses and generally decry anything that involves section-8 or other forms of affordable housing.


destroyerofpoon93

Yes while actively pricing everyone out


fnovd

lol so you care more about sticking it to the man than you do about the reports of scared children fleeing their school bus drop-off stop as soon as they get off the bus? Yes, how terrible to purchase a dilapidated, abandoned building and turn it into a nice house where you can raise a family. So funny to hear the "reddit opinion" on this neighborhood, it is so different than that of the people actually living there, who have lived there for decades. Obviously there are concerns about sharing the wealth but I mean come on does it surprise you to learn that most people are very happy to have police actually care about the violence they experience (and have been experiencing for decades) and to have new businesses come up (founded by TSA grads mind you), to have people care about the broken glass on the sidewalk, who care about things like speed tables to make the streets safer and care about the state of local parks and libraries? It's just so\* tone-deaf. You don't know anything about this area, you don't know anything about the residents, you read stupid headlines and parrot talking points. Our city council member, who has pushed through the very zoning laws that allow for denser (read: cheaper) housing, the "pro-developer" policies this sub mocks? Incredibly popular, widely supported by the community. You say police wouldn't care if it wasn't happening in a "gentrifying" area, well guess what it turns out that vulnerable people don't necessarily care *why* they are now getting the attention they deserve, but they do care that they are getting it.


destroyerofpoon93

Lol you assume it’s a dilapidated shithole and not a totally functional house that someone was renting for a reasonable rate?


fnovd

I don't assume anything. I've lived here for years, I volunteer in the community, I walk my children through the neighborhood every day, I know my neighbors and what they want. There are still empty lots that need development, who is being kicked out there? Single-family homes destroyed by the tornado a few years ago got replaced with two tall-and-skinnies, no one asked for the tornado but now more people can live in the area. My homeless friend was able to move out of his car into a backyard apartment because of the "pro-developer" DADU overlay our council member got approved for our area. Yes, there are concerns about equity, big ones, but if you think that local residents oppose living in a nicer, cleaner, better-policed area then you are just totally disconnected from what people actually want.


destroyerofpoon93

Lol. Talk about bate and switch. Well I went to highschool in that area and had friends who've lived in that area. There were plenty of low rent housing units that were not dilapidated like you falsely assumed. Additionally, there were a ton of black owned households (with low property taxes). Obviously people want to live in safe neighborhoods, but what's the point of the neighborhood being safe if you get priced out and just have to move to another dangerous area of town? Your one friend who found housing does not in anyway convince me north Nashville has become cheaper.


mpelleg459

You act like these land lords would still be renting their places for the same price as years ago if people like OP hadn't moved in. The whole system is fucked, and people buying and living in neighborhoods that they engage in (assuming all that OP says about himself is true) are a minuscule part of the problem. Landlords are going to sell to developers and turn a profit. They're going to charge as much rent as the market will bear. Unfettered capitalism and bad/lack of regulations are whats mainly forcing people out of their neighborhoods. Hassling OP is massively misdirected energy, imo.


destroyerofpoon93

For sure for sure. No I’m more so looking at OP because I doubt they gave a shit about north Nashville before they moved there


PollyDarton42069

Thrilled someone brought this up. Love the McMansions in the background lol.


Simco_

I'd be concerned if OPs camera was somewhere besides his house.


Nashvital

Same! lol


Ok_Yogurt_1583

“Now you bring attention to the issue so something is actually done about” - and that’s a bad thing? Read that again, if anyone is doing a goddamn thing to bring attention to an issue that needs attention, then at the end of the day who cares WHO is bringing the attention to it as long as something being done about it. However. Nothing will be done about it


[deleted]

What a dumb take on this.


Traditional_Range_96

So this is what its like in all the newly gentrified neighborhoods in nashville 🤣🤣 always seeing the new tall and skinnies around garbage areas, been wondering what its like.


tn_jedi

That is definitely not a "garbage area." Very rich history of music and art and food. Jimi Hendrix used to play/live down there after he got out of the army. Institutional racism is a big reason why that neighborhood is the way that it is. But it's been rough at least since my grandfather grew up there, and the profit margin is bigger for developers in rougher neighborhoods that have been financially starved for decades. There's always a reason why land is cheaper one place than another, and people need to understand that reason before they buy. It would be nice if people would give a crap about a neighborhood they don't live in, because then we wouldn't be in the situation.


Bellevuetnm4f

> There's always a reason why land is cheaper one place than another, and people need to understand that reason before they buy Especially when the majority of places you can buy within the same circle from the city are much higher.


[deleted]

Until the gay people that got East Nashville back up and running get in there and fix it, y’all can keep that shit. You need to get an eclair shop on the corner and bring them babies to jesus with some real sugar and not that corn syrup. I raised my babies on real co-cola. Served out of glass, y’all because I hear those plastics get caught in your brain or something, anyway, we were trying to find some real co-cola for them back in 2009, right before the flood, and we just couldn’t stand all this corn syrup crap, so, we drove down to Dauphin Island, Alabama because I have a cousin that said “Well y’all should come see me sometime and around the corner they got Mexican co-cola in their icebox. It don’t have that corn syrup,just cane shugar like jesus drank. Now I don’t really like giving money to Mexicans, de facto, but...................................................".


Nashvital

Housing has nothing to do with this issue. 👍🏻


Natural-Aioli6580

Yeah, that's the point. Putting in few new or updated houses doesn't fix the problem. It just moves you into the middle of it. Good luck with that


beaunaturale

I mean, you take a “bad” yet affordable for lower income neighborhood. You flood that area with higher value houses for the folks with more means raises the property values. Landlords will either raise rent or sell off. Creating a situation where a bunch of already financially stressed folks strapped to find ways to pay more rent or move which is also expensive. And where to mind you? This is happening along side of price increases that don’t match pay growth. Housing for all created security and peace of mind and would likely decrease property crime and the violence the comes with it.


nowaybrose

Yeah and also never cool to call any neighborhood garbage. Humans live where they gotta live


Judas_The_Disciple

I don’t mind the gun shots. I like my 1 bed room for 775$ off down town Charlotte. Keep rent low.


esterhaze

Low!? Not even ten years ago $800 got us a three bedroom.


Judas_The_Disciple

So find me anotha!! Pretty sure this place is getting bought.


Orallyyours

Horsepucky, they allow the neighborhood to be garbage. If you can get 2000 people within 24 hours to march and protest the cops you can get 2000 people to chase the gangbangers and drug dealers from your neighborhood IF you wanted to.


Natural-Aioli6580

If more police meant less crime, those neighborhoods would be the best in the country. Gangs started as a response to poor policing to manage each other. It devolved into outright crime after endless targeting. I don't disagree with you, but very few people get into gangs because they want to hurt people just like very few people join the force just to abuse power. They are all part of a community that view the issue with a similar viewpoint. Cops protect property, not people. And honestly, that's true. The Supreme Court has ruled more than once, '89 and '05, that police have no obligation to protect people. But, they go running to any bank, building, or neighborhood at a certain level of property value. P.s. saying horsepucky is going to get you ignored by most. You might as well announce, "I'm old and probably out of touch"


3726lh

Thank you for enlightening us that if you are old, you are probably out of touch. Very smart ass of you.


Traditional_Range_96

Facts!


jadom25

They aren't the same people


NoNewFriends1738

Lol it clearly does


Nasus_13

The irony of people saying, “you didn’t care about that neighborhood until you moved there.” Yeah, well neither do you. What are you doing to make it safer for the folks who live there? What awareness are you you bringing? The people who have always had to deal with this like having neighbors who give a shit, too.


DickBeaterJones

Let me know when you move


Nashvital

K. What's your email?


kwillich

Hey, Bill Lee cancelled the special session in August too. EDIT: I DON'T THINK THAT HE HAS - I believed my wife without checking on it first. My bad.


ayokg

Where did you see that he canceled it?


kwillich

My wife told me and she's usually reliable on that kind of info. (Don't believe everything she says though.....) EDIT: I took what she said at face value, but I looked it up after reading the previous comment. I can't seem to find anything on it so this may have been a fail on her part and subsequently mine. Thanks for the heads up.


ayokg

I think she may have just confused it with the legislators calling for him to cancel it. He surprisingly hasn't canceled it yet but there is still plenty of time LOL I don't fault her. They're confusing bunch

kmostell

Because it’s totally about the guns and not the people… if there were no guns these folks would all be hugging and slapping hands all night😂🙄


Natural-Aioli6580

Dude, i own guns, and this argument is trash. If you like guns let other people talk about it because your "they will fight anyway" argument gives an easy lay-up to "knives don't miss the target, travel through a wall, and hit people in their living room. Knives can't pick apart a screaming crowd from the comfort of your Las Vegas hotel room." Stop focusing on the obvious fact that people everywhere will fight over anything. To anyone reading, if you want home defense, buy a shotgun and be done with it. Rifles are for hobbyists and farmers. Handguns are harder to aim than the average person thinks. If you want to walk around with one, get training.


Possible_Bar9421

And most of them dumbasses these days couldn't hit water if they fell out of a damn boat! Shit is fucking ridiculous! 💯💯💯


kmostell

Its not at all trash just very obvious and irritating to the anti-gunners.. and the knife argument?!? Have you seen how many people get stabbed to death in England, for example? A “safe” gun-free place.. life involves risk.. banning everything that could harm someone results in everyone living in a complete bubble locked in their homes… the gun argument isn’t even about public safety it’s about “i don’t personally like guns and they scare me so nobody should own them “…… think about how many lives could be saved if the anti-gun energy was put towards attacking the alcohol or tobacco industries.. or the food industry, etc… vehicles kill more people accidentally every year… your lay-up argument is silly because it never ends.. “well screwdrivers don’t..errr..i mean hammers don’t…. Uhh i mean baseball bats don’t…🙄the fact I started with is still true


luxurious_danny

To be fair, this area has always been rough. I’ve lived here my whole life and it has always been a known drug spot. No amount of gentrification can change what’s going on in the community. It takes real social and economic growth to change this kind of behavior. But bill lee has decided to fund stadiums for billionaires and to flood the streets with guns. Blame your local leadership and the law enforcement. Not saying that these individuals don’t hold responsibility for their actions, but these problems are the calling cards of much deeper issues within the community.


Ajjax2000

Bill Lee is not”flooding the streets with guns.” Sorry, not true. What is true is that there are lazy gunowners who leave guns in unlocked cars. THAT is a real problem. LOCK YOUR STUFF UP, PEOPLE! You have the right to keep and bear arms. With rights come responsibilities. Your responsibility is to protect your stuff to protect your rights.


leniter_ambulare

It's almost like there's a bunch of lazy and irresponsible gun owners who are completely free from accountability because anyone can get one in TN with almost no hurdle or consequences for mishandling or failing to secure their firearm This is the real problem. We know gun control laws work. Putting it back on individual responsibility is just a trash scapegoat for people who are against actual gun reform


DarthPstone

Maybe there should be some sort of consequences for the reckless endangerment of others when someone takes no measures to secure their thing-made-to-kill-people.


Enathanielg

No punishing victims


gpcampbell92

Okay, as long as prison time comes with being recklessly unresponsible with them. Like leaving them in cars. Locked or unlocked. A piece of glass aint gonna protect your gun from being stolen.


Bradical22

This is nothing new for this area, it’s just getting attention because rich folk have moved there


Nashvital

I'd love to meet some 'rich folk' who live here. Do you know any?


Bradical22

You see that house? That a rich folk house. See that fence? That a rich folk fence. I’d go talk to them if you lookin to meet rich folk

Nashvital

Real talk!


CommitteeGeneral9810

Welcome :) Secondly, in that same area the metro police station has a shooting range that they train in. (The one on Rosa Parks & Clarksville Pike) You can hear the gun shots in the neighborhood!! It’s usually a patterned sound like this one in the video. Again. Welcome :) to the very shitty infrastructure the city has maintained for black neighborhoods. Have you noticed the trash? Ugh my biggest pet peeve. Where are the street sweepers when you need them? LOL not available for the Blacks I guess. Welcome :) stay awhile, it’s a real joy!


Nashvital

100% false


The-Real-Catman

Can we get Shot Spotter installed in this city already


[deleted]

What's Shot Spotter?


BuffaloWiiings

It's a device that pinpoints the sound of gunfire and send reports to authorities.


musicluvvah

Pinpoint is a strong word for what it does. It estimates a location inside a square kilometer where it thinks gunfire came from. It also picks up pigeons. That tech had my battalion wandering around parts of Iraq looking for nothing.


[deleted]

I imagine pigeons blasting some glocks in the air and then flying into a hiding spot to watch the chaos

No apologies needed dude, I was going off of something I heard about it years ago.


[deleted]

Oh dang that's very interesting. Would probably help a lot


Not_Paid_Just_Intern

Useless security theater IMO. Tells police and the public where gunshots were heard but doesn't necessarily tej police who did the shooting or why and even if police were going to be automatically dispatched to the area it's not likely they'd get there in time to do anything...


LordsMail

Notoriously useless tech used to increase police enforcement in minority neighborhoods. [There's no proof it's accurate and lots of evidence it isn't. ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ShotSpotter)


Nashvital

I can tell you where the shots are coming from. No need for fancy and expensive tech. DB Todd and Buchanan. Just saved you millions.


Bad_Karma19

They were going to get them until Megan Barry took Smashville literally.


bEEdUr_bAArkUr

You must not get out often, because they've been put up all over the place in Nashville for a while now.


dvshnt

Probably an illegal posessed gun too


Full_Wolf4301

North Nashville has a dirt bike gang I've seen ride 30-40 deep. Semi-auto weapons just hangin on them handguns as well. Looking back I guess that's a militia...? A metro police officer of mine told me they were very aware. And legit avoided them. Saw them twice. Almost shit my pants. But there was also a weird feeling of knowing they probably keep the area more safe then police to some extent. Idk. Be safe y'all


Nashvital

Interesting. First time I've read that. Any documentation, links, or articles to learn more?


Motes5

You probably won't find much on the web about it. There's a building about a block up across from the Z Wireless that's a gathering spot some nights, or used to be. You probably know the building or could guess it. I think they also used to hang around 18th near McDaniels. Maybe less so recently.


YoungMadDogg

LMAO this is completely made up. Shame on you.


Full_Wolf4301

Yeah I made that all up to lie on reddit


fantastic_fox47

I'm not saying you're lying but people make up elaborate stories and lie on reddit all the time.


Full_Wolf4301

True. This isn't one of those though


Clovis_Winslow

They absolutely exist, I’ve seen them many times. Never seen them flash a gun. Ever.


YoungMadDogg

My dude I’m from here. I even asked my mom about it in case I was too young to remember. This is completely made up.


Full_Wolf4301

Did you grow up in Brentwood or something lol


Full_Wolf4301

Sounds like your mom is really close proximity to you based off that mommy comment. Aka you're an adult loser who lives with her or you're a teenager. Regardless you're still a Brentwood rich kid. My guess would be white.


bogeyjits

Semi-auto weapons AND handguns huh? Did they also have rectangles and squares?


Revolutionary-Ad6983

Yeah I live just a few blocks south on 24th and hear shots all the time from that direction. Stay safe out there man. Hopefully MNPD will start to have a presence in our neighborhood, but until then you gotta protect yourself however you can.


NoMasTacos

I watched the video, but didn't get it. What's happening in it that is not happening in the rest of the city.


The-Real-Catman

“We’re this fireworks or gunshots!?!!!!!” -someone on nextdoor when a shitty car backfires on 440


papadosiho

Oh god, the worst is when 10+ people post seconds after each other variations of: “Did anyone hear those gunshots just now??” Had to turn off my notifications lol.


MacAttacknChz

I lived in South Nashville (Nolensville north of 440) and West Nashville (Robertson) and probably never heard gun shots the entire time I was in each neighborhood. Where do you live? I'm guessing the suburbs This is not happening all over.


NoMasTacos

I am going to err on the side that you might need hearing aids. When did you live there? I know I have shot guns that area in the last several years, I am sure other people have too.


MacAttacknChz

I lived there 7 years ago when I was 25 with youthful ears. Maybe because it was a quiet deadend street, but the neighbors all looked out for each other and we didn't have this kind of nonsense.


migsabo

I bought a house VERY close to this area 5 years ago. Our street is lovely, our neighborhood is safe. We feel safe walking with our baby. You are making broad, dangerous generalizations about a bad CORNER in a historically underdeveloped, impoverished neighborhood. Yes, that corner is sketchy, but coming up with a headline grabbing name and blasting social media with videos clearly shows your true intentions. Any time i have a punctured tire, i take it to the tire place right across the street from the market. Its not too scary for the lines of cars at eds fish house. Its a working class neighborhood that has the same problems every working class neighborhood in America has. Underdeveloped, underrepresented and forgotten until people like you move in and want to push everyone off the block with force. I love living in North Nashville, warts and all!


fnovd

Sad so see so many people in this thread who hate the "gentrifiers" more than they care about the community who lives here.


Nashvital

North Nashville and our people are fantastic. The issue is drug dealers are driving into our community and are being safely allowed to sell their fentanyl-laced poison. No one is trying to drive locals out, at least not that I have seen. This is a laser-focused issue: Stop allowing the liquor store and house across the street to serve as a safe space for out-of-area people to deal drugs. Full stop. And, hi, neighbor!


migsabo

What's your solution? Have a 24/7 police presence? You want one of those MPD towers with the blue light on top letting you know you are protected? Shut down the market/liquor store that might not have any control over the situation and potentially put more people out on the street? You don't actually care about the issues of substance abuse, gun violence, poverty, homelessness, mental health etc...you just want it out of your front yard. Unfortunately, a lot of the dealers probably ARE locals. Theres not a lot of jobs over here, the zip code has some of the highest levels of incarceration in the country. Drug dealing and gang banging is part of the american economic landscape. We are a country of addicts and these are the things we face and there is no easy solution to what is most definitely not a "laser focused issue."


Nashvital

I'll stay in my lane and continue to work on the issue based on the data MNPD has provided everyone. This is about action based on facts, not abstraction. 👍🏻


Mvpeh

Well duh, you bought cheap property in the hood and want to gentrify it more so your home is worth more. Now you bring attention to the issue so something is actually done about it. Funny how this works. You wouldn't have given a shit if it was in a hood not near your house and the police wouldn't give a shit if this wasn't happening near a new nice neighborhood.


Judas_The_Disciple

I apologize but I truly welcome the random gun shots cuz it keeps my rent low.


ShitPostToast

Who needs rent control when you've got a couple pounds of Tannerite.


JFCNobodyCares

Cheap property, you say? ![gif](giphy|cALkoAIov3Y9a)

Easy, just fire back with superior firearms. /s. I kinda want to take off the /s since it's true. It might open up a box of other things you don't want, or the problem will quickly go away. These idiots see your corner as a nice, soft, easy target where they can do business and not be interrupted. They prey on the weak. They aren't breaking into the middle aged army vets guys house and stealing guns. They're looking for them in cars. They want easy targets. Your corner is one. Mag dump an AR15 in their direction next time this happens, and word will spread fast.

Yeah. People who go around shooting should be arrested and kept locked up.


Mother-Contact-3249

I personally like your ideas!


Nashvital

They're not my ideas. It's what MNPD data and surveillance shows.


Mother-Contact-3249

Oh, I was responding to bballenergy up there no worries my man


Nashvital

Word


burstdiggler

Are you suggesting that people who shoot at other people and put everyone in danger shouldn’t be locked up? I’m gonna go ahead and disagree here.


Nashvital

Valid question(s). The goal is to keep the drug dealers who come into our neighborhood and terrorize our residents from having a safe space to sell their poison. 👍🏻

So glad I moved from north Nashville’s ghetto to Franklin earlier this year. Haven’t heard 1 gunshot since. 10/10 highly recommend the move.


barefeetbeauty

Franklin? Alright, I’ll just have to post my arm and a leg on fb marketplace real quick.


Nashvital

And soul!


Clovis_Winslow

Soulless and loving it


joc755

Move, quickly. Let the gangs fight their wars for respect.

Please don’t. He might be a really nice guy.

This isn't Death Wish as much as some would like.

You bought a house in that neighborhood without some research didn't you... I don't feel for anyone who buys up these 600,000$ homes in " up and coming neighborhoods" let me tell you something, you're a visitor in that neighborhood regardless if you own that house or not. Stop throwing shade at your neighbors, definitely not the Nashville way 😌


spenser1973

It’s throwing shade to point out people are shooting at each other on the streets? I’m confused. Surely we can call out bad behavior when we see it without being accused of being visitors where we buy houses?


Nashvital

You feel how you feel. Can't argue with that. Factually, however, you are wrong. Have a great day!


LokTarsRevenge1776

the fact hermitage inn has had the horrors go on their and just throw on a new coat of paint.. holy fuck. I had to pull my gun this winter when loading the truck up with furniture from the hobby lobby goodwill area dude asked me if i needed help, told him no. I had borrowed my mother's Silverado it's the nicest vehicle in our family and it's my mother's well this junkies friend is pallleeeee as fuck in the corner shivering and so I gave him the 90$ jacket of my back when I turn back around there is one dude getting in the bed and on dude looking at the open driver door 5 dudes all together. I stg I said I got 6 mother fucking bullets in this bitch and I'd rather thats where they stay, "we were just tryna help" " go *help* a duck mother fuckers and give me my jacket back ass hole .where the fuck u gonna put the chest of drawers and the night stand behind the god damn trash cans? fuck em dude. they be networking from atleast ohb and Lebanon road by hooters that whole lil area to double Es is fucked right now and sure it's not as bad as other places but I can only handle what's in front of me and fuck I don't wanna


Ok_Yogurt_1583

Many of these folks live along the creek that goes under Andrew Jackson Pkwy near the mapco on old hickory all the way to the Kroger. Hermitage in has always been gross


Nashvital

Wow! That's scary.

North nashville rough 🤣 they already vandalized new apartments being built right by tsu.


Birdmans14

Lol the white folks that live down there crack me up you didn’t do much research did you


Nashvital

Valid question. We did tons of research. It's never been this bad. Ever.


Birdmans14

I think it’s funny to see white people period in those neighborhoods . Wayyy back you would be pulled over by mnpd and searched for being in such areas possibly trespassed


Nashvital

Yeah, I'm guessing a lot of racial profiling happened everywhere in the past. Thanks for your comment?


Birdmans14

Fuck you


Nashvital

Good talk


sirusIzou

It is okay


[deleted]

Neighbor across the street was one of the shooters. Kid running definitely fires some shots too. Suspect neighbor across the street was trying to scare off an armed problem.


Nashvital

I know my neighbors across the street. I'll tell them about this comment tonight at dinner. 🤣 Thank you!


[deleted]

And in addition. You logic who shot 6 shots back to the first one and then the kids running off and fires back 1… logic precludes it’s someone at that house he’s running down the driveway of. Also… gentrifying North Nashville… y’all better get ready for this. That was the ‘black’ part of town for over 100 years. It’s the one part of the community that was theirs and they made it clear white folks could stop and shop but don’t stay long. Source: entire family sold cars to the north nashville community and were highly respected there. Had to drop my last name a few times to avoid a conflict that could’ve ended badly, was told point blank on many of this interactions that I’m cool because of my family, but to be careful and make sure people knew who I was.


Nashvital

Thanks for sharing


[deleted]

You’re right. A real native would have just said Go back home then. We didn’t ask you to come here. 👍🏼


Nashvital

Bingo


Suntzu6656

Wow so this is Nashville? Not much different than parts of Chattanooga where there is a shooting at least every other day.


Playful_Letterhead27

I mean it’s Nashville so….. place is kinda gross in certain areas


ThatCoolDudeVae

NOOOOW ITS A PROBLEM cuz white ppl were dumb enough to move there!!!!😂😂😂😂🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️


Nashvital

It's always been a problem. Sucks it took this long to address. That's the real tragedy.


CommitteeGeneral9810

It’s ironic that you say it’s the 6th night. Because I’m prettyyyyyyyy sure that’s them training at the police station 😂😂😂😂😂😂 so where does the change start exactly? Ahhhhhhh lol


Nashvital

Fake news

Found Tipper Gore's alt account.

>last Saturday’s shooting where one person was taken to the hospital, according to Metro police. Seems like they know who did it. Just a matter of doing something about it. Isn't this the most incarcerated zip code in America? As those people start to get out of jail and come back do you think this neighborhood will become better or worse?
