24 murder pace = 1 per 4,792 residents. Horrible.

Literally everything is a straw grasping competition here. Lol
Where’s Antonio to say what part you have to drive through?
It’s Waterbury and New Haven guys. Who cares.
Both are higher crime in state.

Overall crime in Connecticut dropped 4 percent from 2021 to 2022, according to a new report from the state......There was also a 13 percent reduction in violent crime, including a 13 percent drop in homicides and an 18 reduction in robberies.

But higher tech crimes such as forgeries, phone scams and pornography distribution have seen a spike in the past year.

It's simple then. Patrol more, lower the violent crime rate, fewer citizens will then arm themselves. Either that, or perhaps tell citizens not to travel in the city. Again problem solved.

It's understandable, and unfortunate it got so dangerous there. I attended college in NYC during the worst NYC violent crime era- and saw the Guardian Angels prevent a fair amount of crime. The city was almost bankrupt, cutting cops in subways when they needed more, people were getting victimized by crime all the time. Now, fortunately, several years later, Giuliani/Bratton, then Bloomberg getting tough on crime, reduced the need for the Guardian Angels.

But to those upset citizens are protecting themselves, get to the root cause of why. Make the cities safe for the law abiding and you will not see people doing what the cops are not doing. Keeping the law-abiding citizen safe.

The Mayor and Lamont will probably look to put an end to these armed citizens protecting neighborhoods. Top of the agenda at Capitol Hill today. They prefer “healing” and “compassion”.

Yeah, healing and compassion stop crime, NOT.
