2-6 times a month from my home...let alone when I was on the streets, etc.

Moved 16 months ago after 12 years there. Don't listen to this person, they willfully have their head in the sand or fail to understand the totality of crime that occurs there as they are bombarded daily with more stories.

The place is ruled by young black youth aged 10-17. They operate with impunity and they know it. The gangs run the city.

None that I can reliably say. Sometimes I've heard bangs but then learned later they were fireworks, or I'll hear a noise but don't see anyone reacting so I assume it's nothing.
