BWW is a strange site. Negative OT storyline and posters here are all in with making comments. Post something with a positive storyline which you would think we all would be happy about and it is "crickets".  Then again, maybe it is me they don't like - lol.

In my experience people just refuse to believe that violent crime has been steadily falling for thirty five years. There was an uptick in 2020 but then the general downward trend resumed.

Is part of that due to these mass gun shootings that occur too often?
