I think that's a proof that criminals know that the average citizen has the right to keep and bear arms. That's one of the reasons I like Utah, in addition to that great snow you get out there. That reminds me, I gotta get a plane ticket for Sundance since my friend in Park City keeps sending me pics from his cell phone every time it snows now hehe!
Not too good for my State. St. Louis is #1 and Kansas City (my hometown) is #21.
It's interesting that while St. Louis is #1, O'Fallon which is right next to St. Louis and still part of the greater St. Louis metroplex is ranked #399.
And we all wonder why Grady is a walking arsenal. :rofl: (Well, I don't. I subscribe to what Grady believes.)
Looks like Illinois and Minnesota doesn't play well with others and didn't participate much.
Wow... I can't believe Oklahoma City is number 50. That's really surprising to me. I was under no impression that we had the lowest rate but I didn't think we'd be that high. And Tulsa is 28? Crazy.
I live near detroit where the former mayor is accused of having a stripper killed (and is currently in prison on other felonies) and the swat team recently killed a 7 year old, one of the patrol guys last year was charged with criminal sexual conduct, and that is just off the top of my head.
Pretty sad when the elected officials and the protect and serve crowd are part of the problem that gets you on those lists.
I saw that. Cleveland is number 7. I cant wait to move out of this city. Too bad its the only place I can find rent low enough until I'm done with school.
The numbers are so skewed.. I wouldn't trust any list they put together. Depending on where they draw the lines, they can make the stats say whatever they like. I was born and raised in St. Louis County, and now live in St. Peters, (still in greater St. Louis metro area) But I'm pretty sure they compare crime per capita, and use the actual "St. Louis City Population" numbers. Have you driven through the actual "city" of St. Louis. NO ONE lives there, lol. St. Louis's "real" population is in the "greater St. Louis county/area" I would bet big money if they computed the numbers of crime per capita with the whole greater metro area St. Louis would drop CONSIDERABLY down the list. Just sayin... be wary of the "stats"
besides, 67.8% of all statistics are made up on the spot!
Tacoma made #55 on the list and is the highest rated crime city in the state. I believe it. While I have never encountered any major crimes around here. You hear and read plenty about it and a majority of the youngsters around here like to look ghetto fabalous. (hoodie and baggy pants=cool in Tacoma)
Yeah it’s not the 80’s anymore and Robert Mosses does not run the show anymore. NYC is one of the safest cities its size in the world now. Actually it looks like crime wise I made the right choice to leave Massachusetts. Worchester 156th and Boston 113th, actually I have seen one more shooting in Boston then NYC.
Are these statistics the ones that are used when applying for federal and state anti-crime funding? Or are they the statistics used when promoting themselves when trying to bring in private business?
Why is Chicago and some cities listed as NA? There is no way Chicago has become a safe city. As a matter of fact, there has been an increase in gang related killings this year over there.
