About this listen

 Cincinnati's tragedy reveals critical failures in public safety and governance. How does a veteran end up murdered in his own home while a suspect roams free, unmonitored, without consequences? We pull back the curtain on the tragic story of Patrick Heringer and the glaring inadequacies in Cincinnati's justice system. This episode doesn't just recount Patrick's personal tragedy; it questions the leadership that allowed a suspect to remove his ankle bracelet months before the murder, leaving a widow to mourn and a community to question its safety. We extend our deepest sympathies to Sarah Heringer and strive to challenge a broken system that demands urgent reform. The question of personal protection arises, igniting a heated debate on firearms and the fundamental right to feel secure in one's own home.

But the issue runs deeper. When city officials focus on global resolutions instead of addressing local crises, communities suffer. We scrutinize the governance priorities that put international affairs above Cincinnati's dire need for effective law enforcement and infrastructure maintenance. Our conversation urges voters to critically assess these leadership failures and their impact on crime and safety when heading to the polls. Drawing parallels with Los Angeles, we caution against the nationwide ripple effects of neglectful governance. Let's shift the focus back to where it belongs—on community safety and the role of city officials in ensuring it.
