The truth hurts. The most dangerous places to be in America are urban black neighborhoods.
Nyc is one of the safest cities in the country. You don't seem to understand statistics well. You read news headlines and extrapolate feelings
New York City Is a Lot Safer Than Small-Town America
Rising homicide rates don’t tell the whole story. When you dig deeper into data on deaths, you'll find the more urban your surroundings, the less danger you face.

Yeah, I mean it got the nickname Chiraq for it's beautiful Babylonian inspired architecture. **** out of here.
Americaâs 15 Safest (And Most Dangerous) Cities For 2023, According To A Report
A new report lists the most dangerous cities in the US, as well as the safest cities in the US.www.forbes.com
See Chicago on this list anywhere?
Seems like a pretty red bunch of cities.
I understand statistics fine. I also understand when they are used to manipulate an opinion. NYC had 400 murders last year. The dangerous state of Alaska had 90. Just because there are more people around to absorb the shots doesn't make it safer.Nyc is one of the safest cities in the country. You don't seem to understand statistics well.

This shit doesn't happen in ****ing New Castle.
As I said, you read news and have "feelz".
There are 12x the amount of people that live in NYC than live in Alaska.
You are confusing facts with "feelz".

There are your facts.
Some more facts for ya. Those deep red areas are areas of more than 100 gun murders. What do you think those red areas almost all have in common?
You mean urban poor?
No. You mean black. Tell us how you really feel. Go all in. It’s anonymous. You’d never say out loud to a black person so here’s your chance.
And I’m so honored to have you as an IU sports fan too. It’s really awesome that you can cheer for black athletes you’d never let step foot in your house if you found out where some of them were from. As long as they can provide you entertainment I guess it’s worth it.
Black people commit a disproportionate amount of violent crime. That’s a fact. Why it occurs? Fewer opportunities. Lack of accountability. Culture. All of it. But it’s reality
Lol, if some of those counties had 100 murders there’d be no one left.You are confusing facts with "feelz".

*BREAKING NEWS* the places where all the people live have more murders.
That’s why rates are important.

That a lot of people live there? Wow, what an amazing correlation you've stumbled across, people kill each other in places where they live..... rather than in the middle of the wilderness.
I think you are well on your way to a Nobel.
The irony that you don’t understand how racist this post is.
No I mean black.
Stl had 200 homicides last year. Here’s the breakdown of suspects.
Black 141
White 7
Hispanic 0
Asian 0
Demo of city
Black 44 percent
White 44 percent
Hispanic 4
There’s a massive poor white community. They don’t share the black urban culture.
lol…Have you ever been to Corydon on a Friday night? It’s crazy scary. By the way, nobody is talking about the entire city of NYC or Chicago or L.A.
And that is why we can't have the discussion. We can't even accept the facts staring people in the face to do anything about because acknowledging reality is racist.
Is it money? Then why aren't poor whites, Asians, and Latinos murdering like crazy? Is it race? Black people in rural areas (poor or not) and suburban areas seem to do just fine, so that doesn't hold water. I tend to subscribe to the Thomas Sowell opinion that inner city urban blacks adopted the whole "red neck" culture of the poor south and have claimed it as their own even though there is nothing African about it. And because of people like you, we can't even discuss how shitty of a culture it is because racism.
No, I read it.
We all know where violent gun crime is concentrated. This isn't a revelation to anyone.
The question is what public policy is effective at reducing it. Clearly some cities have done better than others. Looking at raw counts is not helpful to the discussion.
I think we can all agree that STL proper is a hellhole. And the Cardinals suck.
Ban guns in cities and let the rural and suburban people keep theirs. Problem solved. (TiC...sort of)
The answer is the platform Rudy adopted. You’ve got to get rid of the progressives and then bring in politicians who believe in order and maintenance. And it takes money and cooperation from so many agencies and institutions and neighborhood groups. You need more cops. More private security. Transit to buy in. Neighborhood groups to clean up their neighborhoods. Police commissioners to be assigned an area and held accountable. A total buy in. At the moment what we have is clueless progressives demanding zero accountability and adopting inane policies and other voters just writing off entire hoods saying “just don’t go to such and such area”
Stricter punishment's go a lot longer way than stricter laws. I have a relative who is a known drug user and has stolen from multiple people (most recently 2 vehicles) in order to feed her habit. Now if the punishment was in line with the crime she wouldn't be out on the streets still causing issues and still getting her drugs.
I have many guns (probably too many) and I rarely carry one, like less than 5%, but I like the fact that others have no idea if I am or I'm not and that goes both ways.
I would suggest we allow teachers and administrators to carry, protect their selves and the kids. My kids went to a school with an on duty officer (sad we have come to this in America) and there was never an issue.
two men walk into a bar, both armed. what could possibly go wrong.
valid post, and i totally agree we need massive gun control legislation to combat both said problems.
other countries don't have these problems. in fact, literally no other industrialized countries do.
the difference between them and us isn't policing, or courts, or prisons, it's laws on guns.
If you are interested in what flavors my POV, take a few minutes to listen to this video. It isn't racism.
Murders per capita tell the same story

Despite a drop in killings last year, the Capital City’s homicide rate still managed to surpass every other major city in the U.S., according to a 3 On Your Side analysis of dozens of municipalities across the country.
