Do you support UM System President Mun Choi's criticism of local officials on downtown crime?
Yes
No
He doesn't do nuisance. Just blusters half truths and demands. His fiefdom isn't a democracy, and he doesn't care about our local democratic system or seem to acknowledge that it is a slower process than we would all like. Democracy is for long term stability. Dictatorships are quick but ugly.

I am a life long black Columbian who has seen the good and also the ugly about Columbia over the years. Decent people no matter the color of your skin are afraid to go downtown or the business loop because of crime,aggressive vagrants and dope addicts. Mr Choi at least seems to care.

ReplySo called city leaders can pretend there is no problem but the facts speak for themselves. There is a public safety issue downtown and it is being caused by a very small segment of the population who the liberal leaders like to pander to.
ReplyI think city leaders are trying but not hard enough. I think that % of crime may be going down. But regardless crime is unacceptable in is present state. Our city now has the money to do something serious to stop crime. But it cannot be same old same old and it must include the court system.
ReplyMr. Choi has greater skills than Columbia's government when it comes to solving problems.
