I’m so glad I left St. Louis and moved back to Texas

[@PaulaSanders-tp1wr]

Lack of Leadership and lawlessness, Why are you tolerating this behavior in your city..

[@painkillerjones6232]

Hey, mayor.. Try using more police to actually enforce our laws.

[@willowbolden8410]

What do we need a mayor for

[@user-rf1mh2po8h]

to steal money.

[@shaquilhiggins6466]

STL has no friends.

[@patrickschneider1289]

[@dennisy1837]

That’s Why the city is sinking. No turn back.

Are used to work downtown over 30 years ago. It’s unbelievable how much of a cesspool it has turned into. I feel so sorry for these people trying to keep their businesses running downtown I freak out every time, my daughter, who is 27 goes downtown to bar 360 etc. I’m so afraid she’s going to get car jacked or her car broken into Mary Jones it’s not that there’s too many guns. It’s too many thugs young thugs terrorizing all of downtown. Now spreading out to the county. A family friend of ours had his car stolen in Crestwood right off his driveway. Big Ben and Sappington. If you drove around there, you would say there’s no way this would happen.

Agreed. In college, we used to go to St Louis Center and Union Station all the time to shop. Wouldn't go NEAR those places now.

[@shaquilhiggins6466]

Nope.

[@thorild69]

Glad you were so much more focused on removing statues and flags which offended you.
Maybe you should focus on hiring people to stop crime.
Oh wait, Cori Bush won't let you.
LOL residents of STL, you get what you vote for.

[@josephguttmann1083]

All right people downtown St Louis are no longer allowed to have fireworks or guns that's how bad it is people in Pacific Washington they're allowed to have guns and fireworks because we do stuff for responsibly but people down in downtown St Louis or in St Louis county or city they don't need to have anything
