Comment: Just another example of the rampant crime and drug use sweeping through Anchorage. Sb91 likely has a hand in it, what with reduced sentences for a variety of crimes. APD isn't there to stop this kind of thing, they are there merely to pick up the pieces. Unfortunately, the thief will likely survive, and be back at armed robbery in no time, thanks to the usual revolving door of wrist-slap penalties for violent crime. It's lucky nobody else was hit by this idiot's indiscriminate gunfire. Shoplifting is a base-level crime, escalating to more serious offenses like this one, but APD isn't interested in non-revenue generating crimes. I've seen them take 2 hours + to respond to a serial thief caught stealing 1100$ worth of power tools. Then they play catch-and-release in the parking lot.

As this story shows, the average citizen is going to have to handle the explosion of drug-fueled crime in Anchorage on their own.
