Murder around my area

Cincinnati was rated 25th most dangerous city in the country, so I'm used to this kind of stuff by now. On any given night I'll hear about two or three (or more) stabbings or shootings, usually downtown (roughly 10 minutes from where I live).

A few years ago someone was arrested for a felony, not sure what, on my street.

Had someone get into a car accident on my street and he fled because he had a warrant out for his arrest (drug related, so I imagine he had a gun).

Someone got shot a few blocks away from me.

Last winter (06-07 winter) had someone get shot about 5 minutes after I walked by the person that did the shooting.

Had a friend get shot 3 times while he was going out for dinner downtown.

Had a classmate raped and brutally murdered about 5 minutes from my house.

I could go on, but I don't feel like it. Besides, you probably get the picture now.

The bank where my Mum/Mom works almost got held up a week ago.

Some guy dressed in a suit came in to set an appointment with the business adviser for the following day. When he came to see the advisor the following day, he wasn't dressed in a suit and had a friends with him. The friend was asked to wait outside where 4 more guys were waiting next to a car. The guy with the appointment as also asked to leave (they gave some excuse) and as he did another car pulled up outside and 4 guys got out.

Not saying it was guaranteed to be a hold up, but it's a bit fishy. This was 4 days before the bank around the corner from them was held up at gunpoint just before closing.

The crime around my area is usually stabbings (school kids), racial mini-riots, and stuff like that.

Winter is by far the worst season where I live, I'd say we get about 10-11 feet every winter. The record low where I live is -47, happened a few years ago and everything closed down, was to cold to even look out the window.

Back on topic, I remember about a month ago a kid broke into the local hunting store in attempt to steal "as many guns and as much ammo as he could carry." Problem was he broke into the store at like 11:30 p.m. and he chose to smash a HUGE window, like noone was going to hear him. The police caught and arrested him about 10 mins. after it was called in.
