This is what a willful refusal to enforce the law winds up doing.

A deaf 62 year old woman was mauled to death by dogs in her back yard here in St. Louis, and her husband was seriously injured trying to fight them off. The dogs were not strays, but belonged to an irresponsible neighbor.

Why do I blame this on lack of law enforcement? Simple; the neighbor had these hell-hounds to protect him or herself from criminals. When the law refuses to protect people they have to take matters into their own hands. That means guns and, yes, vicious dogs.

Crime has skyrocketed in the last few years here in The 'Lou because of Black Lives Matter and the election of both Kim Gardner, their poster child prosecutor, and Tishuara Jones, who has never openly embraced BLM but is likely a fellow traveler. (Her father was Virvus Jones, a corrupt city pol who went to prison for corruption.) Couple their misrule with the fact the City got control of the police department (the state had maintained control of it and so it never became PC or corrupt) and we had the perfect storm.

But the City is reporting fewer crimes over the last couple of years. Why?

You know why; the city just stopped reporting the crimes. SLPD, now run by the Democrat establishment here, has no interest in reporting crimes. For that matter they had little interest in stopping or even responding to them.

At any rate crime is still rampant in this city and people have to take steps to protect themselves.

Also, the city is emptying out and so there are fewer atttractions for criminals.

This dovetails with the FBI claims that crime went down across America under Biden. It did no such thing; it just stopped being reported.

Be that as it may St. Louis has long had an animal problem. Years ago a child was killed and eaten by a pack of wild dogs on the north side (the hood). All of the vacant buildings attract homeless canines.

When I worked in real estate I would step very gingerly in some areas out of fear of dogs. You never knew.

At any rate St. Louis is too busy spending their taxpayer's money on frivolity and not really concerned with public safety. Some dog-catchers would be nice (although that wouldn't have prevented this tragedy.)

I've always said this place is going to the dogs. Now we are in the doghouse apparently.
