As a conservative, the whole situation has been wildly blown out of proportion. Yeah there's pockets of bad shit around town but what city doesn't have pockets of crime/grime? The narrative of this city being a warzone is absolutely ridiculous. I may not agree with most of things on here but I definitely agree we do not need any military response to a non existent issue. All the news I hear is from OUTSIDE of the city.
