Interesting story on recent violence on the 16th Street Mall that has not gotten a lot of play.
Mayor Hancock needs to jump and this and come up with a credible response. The police did a good job of responding to an uptick in gang related violence in NE Denver this Spring. A similar focused response should apply here.
Personally, I'd be in favor or peppering the mall (and much of downtown) with security cameras. I think those do deter and, at the least, help to identify perpetrators.
