Milwaukee looks to have been impacted the worst by the crime surge. It has a higher shooting/homicide rate than Baltimore and is 3rd below St Louis and New Orleans. 5 years ago they didn't crack the top 10 in either statistic.
Is that just shooting rate? Milwaukee police has murders through 9/11 at 158?. Baltimore 246.
Honestly, celebrities are no go conversations for me. And there's a downward trend in popularity of celebrities. Sucks, but its another person.
It shouldn't be under sold that the cultural impact and collective 'pain' is much greater when something violent and horrific happens to a public figure. I actually am of the opinion, and I have read about this before, that more graphic images and videos of gun violence should be shown to the public. People have become numb to the classic breaking news report. People, in every community, need to understand the level of pain and horror gun violence inflicts on communities plagued by it.
Philadelphia Rapper PNB Rock was just fatally robbed and shot in South Central Los Angeles,
Why hasn’t anyone talked about this ???
It’s literally all over the headlines smh
Seems like L.A is no go zone for outta state celebrities!
Although this is nothing new, Rest in Power to the Young Soldier ( Prayer )
Rip PNB Rock, LA really is not a good place for rappers, it's to the point you got to check in with big sets like 60s, 83s, Hoovers, Grapes, etc just to be safe.

No, not everyone deserves to see someone drenched in their own blood. I know people need to understand the level of gun violence but no one wants to see it 24/7 to the point they start becoming desensitized to it. Their families wouldn't want people across the world seeing someone they love dying on the TV.
His girlfriend posted their location on social media without his knowledge.
A wealthy celebrity with expensive jewelry without security in the middle of a bad neighborhood. . It basically said come rob us.
Right, she is def being persecuted on social media. When I went to LA we drove past the Marathon store without even looking for it. There was no impulse to compel me to get out and take a picture. This goes to show this current generation's obsession for attention to the point you drop your location by taking a picture of..waffles?
Just 2 days later, another man has been shot and killed at a Tinee Giant outside of the Calvert Square projects in Norfolk. That makes it 48 for the year.
A double shooting leaves two dead after a domestic dispute in the East End area of NN. That's 21 for the year.

Sigh...just in essence show how mess up that "culture" can be. Got a little bit more money and some jewelry? Let's rob and kill somebody!
As far as why nobody talks about this - b/c I don't even know who PnB Rock is until now?
