And DC! Wtf. Rich city and little boys playing pop thy neighbor like it’s a video game. Grow the F up. The others might have an ounce of context, but DC.
The perpetrators and victims of homicides in DC are very much not rich.
If we use St. Louis' official population in the last census of 301,578, that puts it at a rate of 52.39. If we use the last population estimate, which I'm frankly skeptical of, of 286,578, then it has a rate of 55.13. Either way, this is St. Louis lowest overall number of murders since 2013 when it had 120. We barely beat 2014 which had 159.
DC ends the year with 275 homicides, 969 carjackings. Most since 1997.
Which I keep thinking that this just unacceptable for the richest, most powerful nation to let continue to happen in its capitol city. Cannot the federal government and local law somehow find a way to work together to effectively combat this level of crime? And the tent cities, and homeless under the bridges, etc. I love DC but all this has really become a stain on it as a world city.
2 teenagers shot dead in separate incidents on Saturday. Greensboro finishes the year at 74 smh
