I won’t say that all of Tucson is a ghetto, but when I was stationed at Ft Huachuca, I’d hear about more shootings, etc, on the news in Tucson than the rest of the state combined.
Nowadays, I don’t hear so much about Tucson. Is it because Tucson has cleaned up their act? More likely it’s because I don’t listen to the news.
Not so much that you don’t listen to the news, Tox…it’s more of a “suppression” of news stories by the media…and local politicians not wanting the public to know how bad it’s gotten. Takes some deep dives and individual searches, by cities, to help fill these pages here. Most every metro area is eat up with crime. Just one of my daily “go to” sites that do track crime stats gives me a dozen or more “crime” stories. True FGS, when the crime victim fights back successfully…not so much. Evidence of the suppression of these stories is borne out by the fact that there are, literally, 1+ million incidences a year of someone using a weapon to defend themselves, yet we struggle to post a coupla of them a day. *sigh* Oddly it is certain demographics that do the majority of crime.
Pumpkin chunkers were nice but it was the accuracy of rifled muskets that sent the Red Coats running @ Lexington and Concord 250 years ago this past weekend.
Memphis baby!
Chicago, South.
Stationed in downtown Chicago working at MEPS 80-83. Apartment got broken into. Cop came to do report. He saw my Army Times and sat down to read it. I looked out my 3d floor window and saw guy with my missing distinctive camo camera bag across the street and told cop. His only response was to ask if he could keep the Army Times. He left but did not pursue walking thief.
I have no idea about when you were stationed at Huachuca. Depending on the years you may have it backwards. I was born there and stayed for 50 years working until retirement. For the time I was on the streets motor collision fatalities outnumbered homicides. By the time I retired the last time in 04 (I flunked retiring 2 times, it took 3 tries) the trend had reversed. It is due to the fact that the city is run by a dem enclave (drunk fatso grijalva was the “king”) that made sue there was no republican representation on the city clowncil and mayor’s position for decades. It remains so now and his daughter is expected to be the new “anointed one” in the party HQ there. The city clowncil is damn near as “progressive liberal” as tampon timmy.
Yep they defunded the PD. The last Officer to die was in a collision while driving code 3 to a call in a 10+ year old car that had over 250,000 miles on it. Now the person who failed to yield making a left turn as well as failed to yield to an emergency vehicle with lights and siren was only charge with a CIVIL fail to yield ticket instead of felony vehicular homicide. (prosecutor decision) Now that person who killed the Officer is suing the city and wants to get paid for it.
The Grijalva crime syndicate torch is being passed, and Re-Jyna Romero continues to wave the liberal-progressive colors. Tucson is slowly sinking under the weight of their progressive policies they can’t afford. Meanwhile, Marana and Vail are thriving.
BITD when I was there (last time was ’98), you’d hear on the news often enough about shootings between (illegal?) Hispanics, and in the early morning hours (after the bars had closed).
Tucson still has their share of shootings, as does Phoenix. Just doesn’t make the national news much. Nobody cares about AZ and we’re ok with that.
Gun shoppes and pawn parlors are not good places to FAFO. That could be said for just about anywhere, short of Chicago, Houston, LA, etc, I suppose.
The Stone Mountain “victim” is only the victim of his own stupidity.
