I live 60 miles from St. Louis and used to go there a lot. You couldn't pay me enough money to go down there now, with the animals that run the streets. They know with the present Goverment there, there are no concequences for their actions. A sad place. DO NOT GO TO DOWNTOWN ST. LOUIS FOR ANY REASON!!!!

[@lauralonati7048]

Don’t blame the police! They can’t get everyone when there are so many bad people acting stupid. The police are your sons and daughters working their damn asses off. It’s the judges who just give a slap in the wrist. It’s the lawmakers not the police on the street! Would YOU want to be out there? Risking your life for these idiots?

Probably has to do with the woke blm bs.... defunding police, not allowing police to actually police high crime areas saying its racial profiling..... just a start of possibilities....

I heard from folks repeat how they hear from news to not buy illegal fireworks, yet no one says what illegal fireworks are. However those folks who were shooting off roman candles, not many vendors sell those anymore.

[@jtbuilds9176]

I think they use the term "illegal fireworks" because fireworks are illegal in Saint Louis city and Saint louis county.
