232. Simple City = housing project in DC, off Suitland Pkwy
They sent in paratroopers to break up a fight.

The city simply assumed the kids there were "supercriminals" or whatever the term was for the supposedly ultraviolent new generation of juvenile delinquents back in the 80s and early 90s.

It was a military-style academy program that was having some success.

The school basically WAS DC's reform school for juvenile delinquents... now they have none.

Simple City == if you live there, you can be shot for "simple" walking down the street.
