August 25, 20223 yr Sorry folks, I have been under a lot of stress lately and it culminated with some more bad news earlier today.
August 25, 20223 yr Can we freeze shank at 6009 rep? It’s the most appropriate shit we’d ever do around here.
August 25, 20223 yr 4 hours ago, crash_davis said: APD aren't doing shit. Unless the crime involves a gun or someone going to die, they don't do a fucking thing. Wait. So if they do involve a gun or someone dying, they actually do something? That’s crazy.

They need to get their butts on the same page for the people of Austin. Garza was in over his head before he took the job. Tapeworms have no business being DAs. Piece of shit.
August 26, 20223 yr The last DA needed to go, but Garza was an overcorrection that is turning out to be a mess.

September 13, 20223 yr this chart was in one of those linked articles.. so 1982-1984 were apparently homicides galore in Austin. That doesnt jive with the whole "i want my old Austin back " crowd.

That doesnt jive with the whole "i want my old Austin back " crowd. Those homicides probably weren't happening in the tourist and whiter parts of town. Now there almost weekly shootings around dirty sixth and gentrified East side. Yea, killings are still happening in minority areas but hipsters and middle class folks don't care about that. I will say this, there seems to be a ton more property and crimes in general. Maybe it's anecdotal. Maybe it's because criminals know APD, all PDs in major cities across America really, aren't going to do shit about property crimes, threats, assaults without a deadly weapon, etc. Reading NextDoor and Reddit Austin about all the bullshit crimes happening and APD not giving a flying shit about any of it when reported is beyond frustrating.

September 19, 20223 yr Author Homeless dude, probably, sets fire to Crow Bar and other places in S. Congress. I do not know that he's homeless. But he looks homeless as fuck.

September 19, 20223 yr That wheelchair video is fucking awful. Just WTF? Edited September 19, 20223 yr by FirstTimeCaller
September 19, 20223 yr Our homeless issue makes me ragey. How much money has been thrown at the issue with no real results? And it seems to be absolutely nationwide. But you can't go anywhere without tons of trash seemingly everywhere. It's blight around the city with no solution, no consequences, and no real ideas.

September 19, 20223 yr Sucks about Crowbar, when my son was a little younger he'd have baseball practice by St Eds and I would hit Crowbar every now and then for a pop. Good heavy metal music being played made it extra enjoyable.

September 21, 20223 yr Thanks for the resource. Also, quit killing each other y'all. It ain't worth it. You ruin someone's life... their family's life... your life... and then your family's life. So incredibly destructive.

Yep, because I can beat someone's ass to death with a smoke alarm.
September 21, 20223 yr On 8/25/2022 at 2:55 PM, crash_davis said: so that begs the question. What the fuck are they doing? In the parlance of our times, it's called "quiet quitting"
September 21, 20223 yr "Quiet quitting" is doing the bare minimum at your job; doing what you get paid to do and nothing extra. Is ignoring petty crime part of their job description?
September 21, 20223 yr Saw the September homicides bumped from 2-3... I was hoping September would temper down a bit since crime goes up in the summer (studies show crime goes up in the summer and it is surprisingly tied to heat as a stressor) . Anyway, we'll see how the year ends up. Per capita numbers should stay below 2021. Have been really curious to find the latest numbers for Houston but it is surprisingly hard to find recent data other than % or total numbers but not per capita numbers. I did find this... https://www.populationu.com/gen/most-dangerous-cities-in-the-us #10 Houston #15 Beaumont #22 Lubbock #25 Corpus Christi #28 Dallas #47 Pasa-getdown-Dena #49 San Antonio #50 Killeen #53 Waco #55 Arlington #59 Wichita Falls #60 Odessa #64 Fort Worth #74 Mesquite #75 Austin Ironic how the first border town on the list appears at #88
