[Magdalen] Death in the city

[Rick Mashburn]

Scott, that's awful. I just heard on our news last night that homicides are
up in San Antonio as well. 89 so far this year vs 56 food the dance time
period last year. That doesn't compare to Chicago of course but is still
pretty discouraging. Our Chief of Police was quoted saying homicides
nationwide are up this year in urban areas.

Lord have mercy!

Peace, Rick
