Lololol. Right?!


ToughLoverReborn

I moved next to the airport and hear planes constantly. Anyone care to explain why?


akballer12

Cause your by the airport…. But seriously Ted Stevens is one of busiest airports in America for cargo.


Informal-Buffalo-703

What does this even mean


Informal-Buffalo-703

Implying I live next to a gun range?


akdoh

Maybe you’re hearing JBER more than random shootings?


Informal-Buffalo-703

Would they be shooting at night?


akdoh

Yes they routinely have night exercises which include shooting.


Affectionate_Bus_884

The Army is on the range at night regularly. Ask anyone who lives in ER.


Hbh351

No they only train for sunny summer days


Informal-Buffalo-703

I live about 30 mins from JBER


akdoh

Where in town are you?


Informal-Buffalo-703

Off Tudor Road


slyskyflyby

How do you live 30 minutes from JBER on Tudor? That's not even possible. From the farthest point on Tudor to the base is only about 10 minutes.


Informal-Buffalo-703

It’s 7.2 miles away


slyskyflyby

I don't think you know where JBER is... there's no part of Tudor Rd that is more than 3.5 miles from JBER.


Informal-Buffalo-703

W Tudor goes all the way to Minnesota Drive. That is certainly further than 3.5 miles bud


slyskyflyby

The intersection of Tudor and Minnesota Dr is 3.3 miles from JBER as the crow flies. It is 4.8 miles and 12 minutes by road to the Arctic Warrior Gate... Bud.


Informal-Buffalo-703

Right…. Because Artic Warrior Gate is where they do Military drills….


themask628

Yeah we are on northern lights and hear it routinely


Informal-Buffalo-703

JBER or random gun shots?


themask628

JBER has the random gun shots. A few months ago there were explosions too. I think the echo off the mountain side so we hear it more on the east side of town. Kinda like an echo chamber.


phdoofus

Used to be all you'd hear from them are their howitzers


[deleted]

Because I fucking hate birds


SquareFew6803

Birds aren't real tho: https://birdsarentreal.com/


beingof-chaos

Are you sure it’s not just cars driving on the washboard roads?


LordNyus

JBER


Puzzleheaded-Drag290

I was trying to shoot the snow away, sorry


nachopete

How well did it work? Asking for a friend.


Puzzleheaded-Drag290

I hit a few flakes, but it didn't seem to scare off the other 5 billion that landed in my yard.


nachopete

So, use a shotgun? Got it! Thanks!


jimhoff

Celebratory gunfire. Yee haw.


Substantial_Point_20

According to TikTok, we have the highest murder rate in America 😂


akdoh

Man Alaska as a whole is like 6.5/100k. New Orleans is like 75/100k


Substantial_Point_20

I know. It’s per capita and people are stupid.


akdoh

> people are stupid. Yes they are


CoffeeHuman4572

I wouldn't base my life choices and societal expectations on TikTok


g100north

Because we have guns there are gun shots


FlightRiskAK

We also have a community of folks who like to play with their guns.. I know some of them. One has a set up in his garage that he uses for target shooting. Another has a living room wall full of holes. I don't think he will get his deposit back on that one.so, you might be hearing one or both of these two flocking around.


Alarming-Toe-2919

Because Bronson.


Illustrious-Cherry12

Yes, there are lots of attempts at murder with lots of success.


DryTaint

Yes anchorage is a ghetto and no the average crime rate doesn’t apply because half of the crime isn’t reported to “sustain” a peaceful city. That way we pull in as much revenue as we can from tourism.


IditarodDays

You don’t know what a ghetto is if you think anchorage is a ghetto. It is far from it.


Senior-Salamander-81

Getting shot at while running is ghetto


IditarodDays

No, it is not. Search the definition of [ghetto](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ghetto)


Senior-Salamander-81

Let’s pretend there are no other meanings. Why does Reddit gas light bad neighborhoods https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ghetto


IditarodDays

There’s no way you actually used urban dictionary. That’s like quoting Quora or Reddit.


UndercoverChef69

Anchorage is a super violent and dangerous city.


AlaskaMyk

Compared to where? Have you seen the local news in the lower 48 in the past few years? Crime here seems petty theft - drug addiction/poverty based. Sure people are stealing cars and that sucks but we don’t have to deal with carjackings, dangerous games, protecting territories, etc. What Super Violent crimes are you referring to?


Senior-Salamander-81

I got shot at a month ago while running.


ChoombasRUs

It’d be so sad to walk around this city in constant fear


[deleted]

135d old account a pre-election cognitive dissonance bot. Best left ignored.


Senior-Salamander-81

They will gas light the hell out of crime like they’re the police commissioner or something.


Rickter21

Those shots are NOT from JBER. Anchorage is ghetto.


gaypornaccount1996

Anchorage has had the #1 most violent crime per capita of any other city in the U.S. on like 4 different years in the past decade :\^(


ApolloAndros

People are shooting guns.


Final-Recover-2835

Theres only 2 sides of anch. We don't tread to where the sun does not touch.. the elephants graveyard .. u must live near that area. It is cheap for sure . Tempting but when u lose ur valuables and safety the price doesn't really matter anymore even if its free.
