This was 2 groups - probably a gang shooting. Southeast Colorado Springs, where this happened, has a higher crime rate than the rest of Colorado Springs

Denver had a mass shooting on January 8th in the middle of it's downtown.

Another Colorado Springs mass shooting a short-drive from a nightclub shooting just a few months ago.

Last Mass Shooting in Democrat Jared Polis Colorado was in a suburban area adjacent to Colorado Springs on February 5th
From the thread title, I take it that you blame Jared Polis for these mass shootings. After the shootings in Uvalde and El paso, did you start a thread about mass shootings in "Greg Abbott's Texas"? How about "Ron DeSantis' Florida" - four mass shootings there this year already? Back in November there were 11 killed in mass shootings in "Glenn Youngkin's Virginia" and in January, 8 killed in "Spencer Cox's Utah".

It's not politically correct to disclose to the description of the shooter.

What is wrong with people these days? There certainly is A LOT of anger out there and people are ready to settle it with extreme violence.



The other day at a mall near me we had a stabbing. The people involved knew each other and it was some dumb beef that had the 15 year old repeatedly stab the 17 year old in the chest.

If the kid had a gun I'm sure he would have shot him instead.



Society is failing.

OK, I'll play. Here's a list of the 50 US cities with the highest crime rates:

Rank Metro area Violent crimes per 100,000 people, 2020:

1 Memphis, TN 1,359
2 Monroe, LA 1,309
3 Anchorage, AK 1,171
4 Pine Bluff, AR 1,098

5 Detroit, MI 1,088
6 Danville, IL 1,050

7 Albany, GA 1,008
8 Albuquerque, NM 1,006
9 Alexandria, LA 968
10 Little Rock, AR 939
11 Lubbock, TX 919
12 Florence, SC 860
13 Fairbanks, AK 841
14 Sumter, SC 812

15 Saginaw, MI 795
16 Lake Charles, LA 789
17 Rockford, IL 771
18 Gainesville, FL 760
19 Corpus Christi, TX 738

20 Stockton, CA 723
21 Pueblo, CO 722

22 Macon, GA 708
23 Odessa, TX 697

24 Bakersfield, CA 692
25 Shreveport, LA 683
26 Milwaukee, WI 678
27 Amarillo, TX 673
28 Springfield, IL 667
29 Rapid City, SD 665
30 Niles, MI 664
31 Battle Creek, MI 664
32 Kalamazoo, MI 663
33 Farmington, NM 661

34 Jonesboro, AR 660
35 South Bend, IN 655
36 Houston, TX 632
37 Springfield, MO 632

38 Billings, MT 627
39 Jackson, TN 625
40 New Orleans, LA 624
41 Nashville, TN 616
42 Fort Smith, AR 615
43 Chattanooga, TN 613

44 Beaumont, TX 606
45 Kokomo, IN 604
46 Lawton, OK 603
47 Merced, CA 599
48 Fresno, CA 597

49 Tulsa, OK 591
50 Hot Springs, AR 583


16 out of the 50 American cities with the highest crime rates were located in blue states, while 34 were located in red states. That comes to 68% of cities with the highest rates of crime located in red states. Applying your reasoning, the reason such a large percentage of US cities have such a high rate of crime at the city level is because they are located in red states.

Makes sense to me, especially since red states are always talking about starting a civil war and conservatives have turned their guns into objects of worship. The conservative attitude is one that openly encourages violence as a way of solving any problem as the residents of the cities above have discovered to their sorrow.

Nice try, but most of those cities don’t even have 100,000 people. A little bit of violence shows up as a big blip. So you’re telling me Chicago is safer than Billings?…right
