No. Plenty of people, the huge majority, of any background or "race" who grow up in poverty and with trauma, do not in fact end up ever committing criminal violence. It is well established that a tiny proportion of the population who commit violent crime and do so over and over. When large portions of them are in prison, violent crime rates in a jurisdiction fall dramatically. When large portion is out of prison the violent crime rates rise. |

| Wilson released a video. Lots of forceful talk. His del ray/north ridge voting base are now satisfied so nothing to see here! |

| The city manager Parajon should have gotten some media coaching before appearing in that video, that's for sure. You can see how he and the city attorney, Joanna Anderson, were likely rolled by city council on the unconstitutional loan program. |

| The video is bad, blaming the citizens for not supporting the police. Deflection. Everyone except for the police chief sounds like a robot. Also Wilson totally sucks all around and so does the city manager (the one with the real power). I can't go to the post office, or north OT and now Arlandria in the middle of the day without worrying about being shot. |

It is deflection from their (Wilson's and Parajon's) agenda BUT they do have a point in blaming the citizens. First, the citizens voted for Wilson and council. Second, the citizens were protesting outside of APD during the George Floyd tragedy. Blaming APD for something they had nothing to do with. Would you want to put your life on the line for citizens who hate you for no reason? Not great for moral or recruitment. |

| I am the biggest Wilson fan in history but WTF is this hostage video with inspirational musical accompaniment? |

| What's with the music in that video? "Motivational uplifting cinematic trailer." Hah. |

People are stupid if they are falling for this. The mayor couldn't even read his cue cards right! Come on. He also seemed like he would have rather be doing something else, no heart in it at all. |

Thanks for posting the link. 5 homicides so far in 2023 for a city of what 156,000K people? Per capita that's worse than the Bronx! They are literally NOT doing ANYTHING about it, just talking about needing tips to solve these crimes not HOW they ARE GOING TO PREVENT CRIME HERE. BBQ'S CLEARLY aren't WORKING. Fools. All of them. |

Alexandria city is 14.9 square miles. Homicides are through the roof for such a tiny but dense city. It's insane.
You are literally safer in NYC than here. The car jackingings and homicides are crazy. Do the math yourself. NYC is much, much safer. |
