SAN ANTONIO -- News 4 San Antonio has learned there have been 129 murders so far this year, compared to 85 this time last year. San Antonio hasn't seen so many murders since 1995.

Some of the youngest victims include five-year-old Ana Garza who was shot in the head while she slept inside her home on Pecan Valley Drive in June, and seven-year-old Iris Rodriguez who was also shot while walking to a West side store with her Family the same month.

A disturbing trend. Seems like gangbangers are operating with something approaching impunity in many parts of San Antonio these days.

You can lump the whole southwest into that statement.

Drugs and/or gangs? Being a major city that close to the border you'd think that drug trafficking is a big problem there.

That’s what happens when you roll out the welcome mat for illegals.

Why are Democrat run cities such cesspits of violence?

Babies killed so that no one can be offended by profiling or stop and frisk policing.

Utter madness.

Illegal immigrants and their children make up a growing proportion of SA’s population. Meanwhile and hardly coincidentally, gang activity, murder, and other violent crimes are on the rise. Is this what illegal immigration enthusiasts have in mind when they tell us that “they’re doing to the jobs Americans won’t do”?

I’ve noticed this as well - seems like there’s a shooting every other day. Very unusual for SA, we’re generally pretty laid back.

My favourite program, 12 Star Final, would be really interesting if it were broadcast this day and time. South San back in the 60’s was the wild west.

Eric Holder told them this type of behavior is okay.

When the Central American “children” arrived by the thousands, thanks to Obama and Hillary’s open Texas border, every city received a fresh infusion of gangs who are fighting for their own territory now. It doesn’t bother the Elites of both parties, but the Commoners have no gated enclaves for protection.

These cities are messed up.

I live in San Jose, CA and we had maybe 35 murders for a population of 1.2 million.

San Antonio has 1.4 million and had 120+ murders?
