The shootings in Milwaukee never seem to stop.

Really? I live in Milwaukee and have yet to witness one or be involved in one... so they can't be going on all the time. I agree with the "post less of this type of stuff" sentiment.

Just because you're not a victim of a shooting doesn't mean they aren't happening. Don't cover your eyes and plug your ears and think this violence isn't still happening in Milwaukee.

It's important to care, even if it's not happening to you or your family. There's other people in this city.

I do care, and I don't ignore it... I just think that we can try to amplify the good things as well, if not more. The people who hate Milwaukee are always looking for more and more negative things, and those are some of the people who enjoy the benefits Milwaukee provides to the state of Wisconsin while at the same time condemning it.

If you want to amplify some of the good things about Milwaukee, then start making some of your own posts. I've already posted some good things on Lemmy.
