Nothin good happens after midnight. And I think it's becoming clear that increased vigilance is more than warranted. Everyone needs to be keenly aware of their surroundings at all times but especially at that hour of the morning. And for goodness sake, carry a whistle, a can of peeper spray or a non-lethal Bryna. Hit a robber with that thing and see what happens to them. They won't like it and you'll go home safely.

Sad to watch these reports slowly escalate from “theft from auto”, to “robbery” and “simple assault”, to “forcible rape” and “aggravated assault.” Is MoCoPoPo or Andrew Friedson going to do ANYTHING ?! Fo we need to wait until we have widespread drive-by-shootings and mayhem? Hope we get some adult leadership soon. If we’re lucky Trump will dispatch the National Guard.

The only solution is to deal with this as individuals, it's gonna get worse, especially with all the invitations sanctuary status and weak elected oversight and non existent prosecutions.
