St. Louis has a bunch of warring factions and loose cannons on its northside, plus high levels of poverty and destitute communities.
Plus uncivilized nuts. There are parts of Appalachia with similar socio-economic status and similar single parent home rates and nowhere near the violent crime rates.

Oh,it happens in Appalachia. Huntington WV with a population of 48,000 had 21 homicides or murder rate 43.75 in 2017. Many of the shootings were drug-related-the city is opioid capital. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/201...rate-this-year
When gangs and/or drugs are in the mixed, an impoverished city or community starts experiencing a spike in violence.
HUNTINGTON, W. Va. -- Seven people were injured in a shooting at a bar in West Virginia early New Year's Day, police said.
The shooting happened early Wednesday at the Kulture Hookah Bar in Huntington, interim Huntington Police Chief Ray Cornwell said in a news release.
The statement said several people were found shot inside and outside of the bar. Cornwell said initial information suggested the shooting involved a dispute between individuals.
St. Louis 5 homicides New Years morning is same amount as similar sized Lincoln, NE had all of last year
OP should go to St. Louis and ask random people why this is the case and mention this thread.
Maybe it just takes people in Lincoln a little longer to get going in the morning??

Yes. It happens in black areas of towns in Appalachia. It happens nowhere near as often by poor whites in Appalachia or elsewhere. Hence the white homicide rate in the U.S. which is about 3 per 100k vs the black rate around 18 per 100k while the U.S. rate is around 4.5. These are victim rates. The black homicide offender rate is higher than the victim rate. USDOJ, FBISTATS.
7 shot in a bar in Huntington earlier today. The shooters weren’t Swedish.
I think the OP really want to say is black city= bad, white city=good.
Or this is another subliminal Democratic/liberal city=bad.
Seems like either or. As stated before St. Louis has several known gangs, can t find anything comparable for Lincoln.
