"If it were truly only on Lime sreet that would be different but problem appears to be broader than just that one lane/street since you even mentioned problems on the beach unless I misread."
Regarding the SHOOTINGS (not the opportunistic robberies with no injuries) the ones that happened did happen on Lime Tree Lane, the other on Sommerset Lane at 4:00am (in the course of a robbery). These are two areas that tourists do not frequent. Hysterical/Sky is Falling comments to which I reacted concerned the theory that tourists MIGHT get caught up in shootings such as these - a fear based comment based in no truth, just speculation of the worst - and made to put the fear in folks who scare easily. And sadly...it works on more people than I would have thought previously. You can't make someone "un-scared" (really Nikki? Grammar much?) - and if someone is truly afraid to return to a place based on a theory such as that then they should not return. But the theory is baseless and put forth for dramatic purposes only. That to me is "hysterical", Webster definition aside.
