I live in NM. When I moved here there were not shootings and homicides almost every day and night. I hate it here now but not possible to easily leave. “They” say it’s the drugs, meth causing the shootings. Well maybe if wasn’t so easy to get guns they could have fist or knife fights instead and innocent bystanders wouldn’t keep being killed.
Just as bad, the police here have no clue on how to deal with a person having a psychotic episode so they shoot them first. Mayor keeps promising to have better interventions but still only promises. In PA we had made advances on that 30 years ago. This state is such a terrible paradox. There is so much brain power here in the research labs, universities and military bases, but none of it seem to ever filter out to solve community problems.
