Newcomer This hate crime in 2024 has left me in shock

Speaking of crime, I'm amazed at how safe Buenos Aires is. Even with the bad economy I felt so safe there walking around late at night. Statistically it is safer than many major US cities.

The amount of guns in the US is scary. You can see this is here in Houston.

It is a shame that people are using this horrible tragedy to get politics involved. Politics didn't have anything to do with a deranged individual. It doesn't do anyone any good to try to politicize this. Of course NO President is ok with homicide.
