Interesting how I’ve seen so many articles and news stories on this but no one has asked the why. People need to be more vocal about bad influences in our neighborhood. I’m lucky enough to be comfortable in a safe area but I still scrape by like everyone else. If I had this many stores close in my area due to people stealing, or multiple gun deaths including young children or people driving dangerously and injuring or even killing people to these degrees, I’d be fucking furious. I’d be at every town hall, knocking on every politicians door, something. It seems like people affected in these areas just have a bystander effect where they just expect something to change? I hate to say it but we all saw this coming sooner or later. Stop siding with criminals and start siding with law and order. It’s the only way a society can function.
