Most dangerous cities

[dakotashooter2]

Was just reviewing the list of the 50 most violent cities in the world.http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/...rld/ss-AA8LUZK

The US has 4 cities on the list #40 Baltimore 34/100,000, #28 New Orleans 39/100,000, #22 Detroit 45/100,000 and #19 St Louis 50/100,000 . Barely made the top 20. Despite what the anti gun crowd would have us believe.

The countries that dominate the list are Mexico, Brazil, Venezuela, Honduras, Columbia. It should be noted that all of these countries have more restrictive gun laws than the US.

It is all in the demographics and liberal politics.

It seems there is more crime in areas that are occupied by a high percentage of hyphenated citizens.

The closest town to me is Odessa, Texas. #69 if I remember right. The danger here is the drivers from other states who came to work the oil fields. A fatality almost every day. I live in the county south of there and I drive with my head on a swivel.

A lot of my wife's ancestors are buried in Woodland Cemetery in Newark, N.J. which has been pretty much desecrated by the surrounding population over a period of years In order to go in and research the headstones, the folks in charge of the cemetery records have what is called Safe Day. It's one day a year where they have arranged for the police to be in the cemetery to keep people from getting murdered while they are doing their research. We went last June and they had 4 or 5 policemen in different spots in and around the place. Didn't have my carry gun on that trip as they have a habit up there of pulling cars over with Texas plates.

Oh, they are profiling? Isn't that illegal?

Bout 20 minutes from Camden and went to Rutgers in Newark. Nice places...

[mtnman31]

Where some of them are misleading is the lager metro areas made up of multiple cities, example, L.A. or D.C. You don't get a report or stats for the "city", you get lots of reports on smaller cities which make up the big city and skew the numbers and don't show the reality. While there may be lots of crime overall in an area like Washington D.C., on paper it looks better than it is because the numbers are spread out between all the connected urban cities and sprawl. Look at Southern California, it is essentially one continuous city from San Fernando Valley down to the US/Mexico border or the Dallas/Ft Worth area.

In my opinion, most cities are safe overall. You have small pockets within the city where crime is rampant and it impacts the overall stats for the rest of the good citizens. Point being, stay out of the bad areas and you'll be safer as well as blissfully ignorant to the crime in other areas.

Me too - we must be neighbors!
Did I mention in addition to being 20 minutes from #1 - Camden,NJ. I drew the short straw for the ghetto triple crown........my wife is a nurse at a hospital in #2 - Chester, PA. where last year a patient was shot while recuperating in her room. The bullet that hit her was randomly fired into the air and went threw the hospital room window. Nice place to work..
Fortunately I'm about 40 minutes from #8 - Atlantic City, NJ and #9 Wilmington,DE is 30 miles away!!

BTW, Wilmington is making a big push in 2015 to move up to the top 5!!!

I can't wait till the wife retires in a couple years so we can change zip codes.

People ask why I cast & reload?

[Harter66]

Those numbers look pretty good my county has a rating of 749/100,000 for violent crimes. There's only 3200 people here though........

[depoloni]

I live smack-dab in between three of the top 10 here... Detroit, Flint, and Saginaw.

And yes, those things DO come back down, and they aren't "fluttering" when they do...

Interesting, not a single mention of Virginia!

[18Bravo]

Made the list at #71! Never thought we had a big crime problem here. Then I remembered that we are the state capital of Illinois.They must be counting all our incarcerated ex-governors, politicians and political appointees that are currently serving time.
