Smh, hope it wasn't a robbery gone bad. In those situations it's best to comply. Too many people get killed trying to be Superman.
It probably is a robbery, but sometimes victums get injured or killed even when they do comply. I agree tho theres absolutely nothing in the register or shelves worth risking getting shot.
Two murders Thursday with one happened in the downtown area again; this time in the Near Northside community. 4 people were wounded and the identity of the homicide victim is currently unknown.
To condense the viable nature of a city to it's homicides is hopeless.
It does lean more hopeless if the murder rate is that high because whole families slept in bathtubs when Compton used to run a murder rate that Jackson see now days.

This is underselling it. 10 shot, 2 killed in an area in the HEART of downtown, right on Chicago Ave where there are many tourists.
This hits close to home because when I first moved to the city, I lived very close to this area, and frequently am in this area (at least pre-pandemic times) as it's normally a bustling area. Sadly, it's incidents like this which has me ready to leave this city that I love....

Actually Jackson been having more homicides than Compton ( yes even during Compton peak years). There always going to be a segment of the low income community living that life. Life moves on per say.
Chicago is at 220 and may end up close to last year's total of 66 just in May alone. That was one of the worst Mays in recent history and this one unfortunately might end up near or even beyond that. It's supposed to be wet and cool this weekend and next week so maybe that will keep more people inside and out of trouble. Pretty horrifying when you have to hope for bad weather because otherwise everyone starts shooting each other.
