More than 2,300 have been shot this year in the city, which is a 9% increase from 2018. There has also been a 5% increase in stabbings this year, up to a total of 766 stab victims.

When I was a kid we lived in University City, not too far from Washington U and Forest Park. It was the 60s though, and our neighborhood was pretty safe. Most of our dads were WWII through Vietnam vets back then, and were pretty protective.

The Democrats consider impeaching President Trump more important than fixing problems like this in the cities they run.

Sadly, so do the voters who keep voting for the Democrats.
