We have to get it together as a society and find out what is really going on in our cities. Something is seriously wrong. Guns are not manufactured in Baltimore. Generally speaking people in St. Louis and Chicago are no more violent than they are in San Diego and Boston. What is going on?
It's already well known what's wrong. The system doesn't fail. That's all I'm gonna say.

Cleveland last night with 20 shot and three killed. I was a couple blocks over from the W. 152nd double shooting and it sounded like an all out war zone at the time of the incident with fireworks in all directions and random gun shots, so had no clue there was a shooting there until today.
What do you think is going on that’s caused this dramatic increase?
Denver seemed to have a stretch of low homicides rates from 2007 to 2014.
Denver through it's history has had a moderate to moderately high homicide rate.
Denver is different than many other cities as the crime is much more widespread throughout the city than a majority of big cities but the intensity of violent crime in any one neighborhood is not like many other cities either.
Another big about, violent crime in the Denver area is it has unusually high amount of suburbs with high crime rates. The suburbs south of the city are some of the lowest violent crime in America, but several suburbs like Lakewood, Aurora, Sheridan, Northglenn, Commerce City have areas that have parts of that are just as violent as the worst parts of Denver.
I read about Boston on here and it seems like much of the violence in the Boston area is from two inner-city neighborhoods. Denver is polar opposite, the violence is very, very spread out without the intensity in any one neighborhood.
Even with the high numbers this year, no neighborhood has had more than 3 homicides but many, many have had 1 or 2.
