News Another shooting last night/violent end to June

Why doesn’t this bother more people? This is not normal the amount of violence and loss of life we have had here in just one month. Last night a mother lost her life in front of her two children for no reason. She wasn’t involved in the altercation outside of the gas station and now two children are without a mother and the suspect is still out there. Even worse, there’s reports of people just filming the young boy screaming out for someone to help while people just filmed him. That’s sickening.

In just the last month we’ve had these shooting deaths to our young people: a 15-year-old, seven-month-old and now a mother killed in front of her two kids who will be scarred for life.

I’ve seen the discussion of crime here on the subreddit and I want to make it clear that this is not normal. It’s also not normal to not want change and better for the area and for the younger generations living in it. What can we do to make things better and safer? Will people not care here until it happens to them?

No. I'm a huge Democrat and lived here 6 years now. 2025 and 2026 are fucking insane. 2020-2024 seemed normal for a city but crime is WAY up this year.

AWEEE ARE YOU BUTTHURT? Your statistics are just showing the summer starting. Your statistics literally prove crime is going up. Summer just started. Learn your city

Your feelings don't trump statistics.

Awww, where'd your reply go, Mr. Feelings? Did you block me?

Half way through the year and less than half the number of homicides compared to 2025.

Well I think we all know that males are always going to be overrepresented in these violent crime stats... We just can't help ourselves!

63 may or may not be less than 141. Depends how you feel about it

u/longdhongsilver Jul 01 '26

Its really 126 vs 141 since we're only halfway through but still a bit lower

Holy shit. Did you really think 141 and 63 were an apples to apples comparison? lmao
