We don’t seem to hear about these shootings on the news unless someone is murdered. Hoping to see this stuff reported. If families can no longer enjoy our downtown parks on Easter without fear of gunfire this should be a huge wake up call.

@ATX_WatchDog come on..... you know the news isn’t going to report this after the uproar it made last week about gentrification destroying people’s culture. Doesn’t fit their narrative

z0d14cApr 4 at 7:32 PM

Y'all are so quick to blame the whole community when all it takes is a few bad apples to ruin the whole vibe

@rimshot212 it was their neighborhood first

If only we had laws against shooting innocent people

AustinGuy111Apr 4 at 7:29 PM

@ck1891 wow if dem leadership did this, does that mean republicans are responsible for the fact that conservative states have the most violent crime/murders in the country? Not to mention conservative states have the poorest and least educated population, and the most preventable medical deaths? Does that mean republicans are responsible for that or do you just ignore facts and enjoy being brainwashed by morons?
