Comment: don't see how they have anything in common.... most of this crap is on the east , south north not the west side. lol? from COLUMBUS, OHIO by AIMEE
Comment: No change whatsoever ... the shootings have basically been kids killing/shooting kids ... I seriously doubt that kids will be in the casinos ... from Columbus, OH by Pami
Comment: I voted No and knew it was going to be a nightmare !! from , Ohio
Comment: Mayor Coleman should have spent the $60 million on police protection instead of a useless bridge leading to a high crime neighborhood. from Columbus, OH by Mickey
Comment: No, but the location may change my
mine. It is safer downtown versus the
west side.
Comment: Not at all. Most of the shootings/killings have been in the intercity areas and have been kids killing kids, gangs, etc. I do not think that they will be in the casino and the areas that seem to be having the issues are not close the the casino site. from , OHIO by Lisa
Comment: I think the police are starting to crack down more in that area because of the Casino. I think a lot of bad behavior from the trouble makers in the Hilltop area is going to be eliminated by additional attention from the police. Unfortunately bad actors usually move to new neighborhoods to continue their reign of terror. from Columbus, Ohio by Katie
Comment: most of the shootings have been youths killing youths. Somehow they place little or no value on another life. I don't see where that has anything at all to do with a casino being built in Columbus from columbus, oh by j
Comment: YES. I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE LEFT WELL ENOUGH ALONE & KEPT THE SITE DOWNTOWN. THERE ARE TOO MANY PROBLEMS ON THE WEST SIDE & JUST LIKE CITY CENTER, BIG BUSINESSES LEFT. ALL THEY ARE GOING TO FIND, IS TROUBLE WITH THIS. from WEST SIDE RESIDENT, Ohio by SUZIE
Comment: There is no relationship between the two. from Grove City, Ohio by John
Comment: shooting have no affect on the casino, all the major crime is further east past hague av from , oh by t
Comment: A new Casino has nothing to do with shootings. People are going to shoot other people with or with out a casino. People have been shooting people since the invention of guns! Come on people stop blaming gambling on rapes, killings, and prostitution etc from Columbus, ohio by Kendall
Comment: The shootings has not changed my position on the New Casino. Shootings takes place all over central Ohio. The only concern is How are the police going to deal with the crimes once the casino is built from , Ohio by Melvin
Comment: I WILL STILL GO TO WEST VIRGINIA, EITHER DOG TRACK, I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH COLUMBUS, OHIO....PREFER THE DOG TRACK/CASINO, AT CROSS LANES, W.V., SO MUCH FUN AND SAFER THERE.!!!!!!!!!!!! WHERE MY MONIES FROM OHIO IS GOING TO... from CHILLICOTHE,OHIO, ohio by STEVEN
Comment: well since there has been a lot of shootings, i think the casino in columbus will just increase it with all the drunk ppl and bets and all tht theres gonna be a lotta crime from columbus, ohio by sarah
Comment: The casino has nothing to do with the increase in shootings. I think that you can blame the increase on two things: 1. Excessive heat this summer. 2. Unemployment. The people doing the crimes are better taken care of in jail than they can take care of themselves on the street....they have nothing to lose. from Columbus, Ohio by Dave
Comment: The recent outbreak of violence hasn't changed my position on the casino. I didn't want a casino in Columbus in the first place, and I don't want one now. from Columbus, Ohio by Tiffany
