Crazy to think St Louis murder totals are already nearly 10% of Atlanta's 2019 total 3 days into the year(Keep in mind Atlanta's murder rate is bad too). Absolutely mindboggling.
Looks like Atlanta has had its first one of the year, to my knowledge anyways. I was hoping to go much longer than just the 2nd day.

Thats unfortunately how good chunk of well off city residents function. By large wealth tends tends to form socio-economic bubbles (i.e the rich stay, deal & live with only the rich, while the poor stay, live and deal with the poor, etc..)... Thats not something exclusive to St. Louis, Baltimore or Chicago.
DC, NYC, SF, LA, Miami, hell throw a dart on any major city and just watch truly how similar they all are on a socio-economic lvl.
I've always felt by large the middle class and low income have a substantially more realistic understanding/less jaded view points on how their cities function on a demographic level as they are more likely to interact, explore & live in more areas of the city
I think most people who are born and raised in "x" city fit that bill... it's the transplants who tend to not "get" a cities underpinnings or be surprised when the negatives of city life catch up with them.
Yep, homicides are concentrated in poor and black areas around the country. Maybe the poster you responded to isn't from the US.
No homicides in MTL yet but already three days into 2020: 3 stabbings, 1 shooting and 1 attempted shooting. Lots of guns circulating in Canada that are obtained illegally and come from the U.S. Everything has risen the past few years and the government (all levels) aren't being proactive.
Sad. I saw something similar happened in Chicago as well where a mother killed her 2 young children and then killed herself.
On Christmas Day, 40 year old Erin Pascal threw her children, Allison, 4, and Andrew, 1, off of a 9 storey parking garage at Northeastern University in Boston, before committing suicide. All 3 were found unresponsive at the base of the structure and were pronounced dead shortly thereafter.
Not this year, but I thought it was appropriate to add. Allison and Andrew were Boston's last 2 homicide victims of 2019.

That's right - very sad. I wonder if the lady the other day in Chicago took something from that. Miraculously the lady is still alive? It was actually the 7 month old in the bath tub and 2 year old who the mother jumped out of the window with. She also stabbed her grandfather, who is not dead.
"A baby and a toddler are dead, after a mother attacked her family, and then jumped from an 11th floor window in the South Shore neighborhood on Thursday.
One 2-year-old boy – identified as Jontavious “John John” Newell – was found unresponsive in a bathtub, while police say the other – identified as 7-month-old Amir Newell – was thrown from that same window."
