[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’re at 209 killings before October for the first time in more than 25 years.

No matter what those with their head in the sand (or another orifice) say, it is now officially as bad as the 90s.[/quote]

[b]In some ways, worse. Then crime was more localized and followed patterns and was focused on the drug trade[/b]. Now, far more random, in broad daylight, in front of witnesses, with LE nearby, none are a deterrent.

There is another hospital fugitive, too. Although, had he gotten to PIW, many violent offenders have walked out of there, too. Lucky Ward 3 and residents of Cathedral Commons.

This is such utter BS.  Sure, crime in the 90s was "localized" if that "local area" was "everywhere that isn't Ward 3."

And the vast majority of homicides are still done by gang members and drug dealers against gang members and drug dealers. Nothing about the patterns has changed. [/quote]

The amount of broad daylight crime has definitely changed as has the scale of organized retail theft (often involving violence) and carjacking (several victims have been stabbed or shot recently). So, disagree. [/quote]
