Downtown LA

From my observations OKC is about where the west coast was about 10-15 years ago. Seattle didn't really start sliding until around 2012. I remember going to Minneapolis around 2013 and thinking how clean it was, 7 years later it was on fire with riots.

You are getting many of the same problems but not necessarily for the same reasons. OK Co jail refuses to accept anyone combative or on drugs so instead the get dumped on the hospital, stabilized and released. The jail is also full and the prosecutor refuses to prosecute so OKCPD, which is a great department, won't arrest.for less than a felony.

Fent is starting to hit hard here and the lab grade meth from China has hit the streets. A year ago I was still seeing Bubbas trailer park meth, in OKC which, I haven't seen on the west coast in about a decade. the Chinese stuff sells for about $10 a gram so it isn't worth making it here anymore. I have also seen more PCP in the last year or so then my.previous entire career. Most people are still smoking. drugs with needles being rare, but just starting to show up. On a side note crack is nonexistent, and the crack heads are sad about it, and have switched to meth,"which is just not as good." Anyone using any drug is probably smoking weed too. Weed here seems relegated to stoners, where on the west coast normies smoked it too.

Honestly I dont have a solution and am just watching the same thing play out in slow motion again.

I still see the occasional crack addict through work, but it is definitely eclipsed by meth.

I will rarely go to OKC anymore. Left my job because of safety issues at office. I think OKC is lost.

About 5 years ago on a trip to Lake Eufaula we had to make a stop at the Shawnee Wally World.
I went in and left my wife in the truck to watch the boat. When I came out she was not happy. The parking lot looked like a scene from Mogadishu. It was a real sheet show and an eye opener cause it was not like this
10 years ago.

It is a shame that large cities with questionably patriotic demographics carry so much sway in elections. I believe every state should have an Electoral College consisting of electors that represent each county.

No, he has just worked in healthcare (hospitals, IIRC), so he has seen the results firsthand.


...or maybe that's just what a smart Fed would want us to think...
