Atlanta is at 74 as of 6/18, compared to 62 the same date last year (up 19%) and at least 3 since then. 2 on Saturday and 1 yesterday by a customer not getting mayo on his sandwich.
I just can't believe this awful year is still not even halfway over yet. It's terrible in many ways unrelated to this thread, but for my city's homicide rates it's one of them, especially as other cities like NYC, Chicago, and Philly are having better years so now there's no excuse for it.
Not to be outdone, Baltimore City proper is up to 175 (If my math is correct...it's 173 plus 2 at the Frankford Center last night), 37 homicides just this month.
