XXX Posted February 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Isn't there another one in Maine? I thought for sure Gary, Indiana would make the list again, but I think the size of their population isn't big enough or somethin'. But, seriously, Fresno?! Not Compton, Watts, or South Central?

Addictedtoclassic Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 I'm very happy to see that Minneapolis is not on this list. That actually makes me feel better for living in the Twin Cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windy1 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 I knew I was living in the most unsafe city in America. I hoped no one else did. Thanks. I actually don't live in St. Louis, but right across the Missouri River. Every night on the news, at least 3 murders or violent crimes. That's just the ones that get reported on tv. You wouldn't really associate statistics like that with St. Louis would you? I never thought so, the heart of the midwest and all. :: :beady: I just realized, we are one of the smaller cities too. That kind of makes it worse. The major cities don't have the same problem. Guess you see where our priorities lie! :beady: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunt_Acid Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Detroit Michigan 956,283 94.3 Those are only the crimes that get recorded before Kwame Kilpatrick fires the chief of police to hide his own involvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 And if someone walks into a liquor store in *Podunk, Iowa and shoots the clerk tell me.......how safe was that city for the clerk? Time and place folks. The big cities didn't make it because of the "per 1,000" clause. LOL...Philly safer than Tampa huh? Whoda thunk it? * I apologize to all Podunkians out there. I meant no insult.

edna Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 I love New York, just as everybody... but I thought it would have been among the unsafest cities of the US... not that I ever had any problem there, not my case, but I´ve been hearing that from my family who lives there since I was a baby...

miamisammy29 Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 To everybody who was disappointed that their city didn't make the list, just say the word and I'll be there with six of my drinking buddies the next day.

I think New York's crimes per 1,000 people is offset by the number of peole living there. New York city has a population just over 8,000,000. If the number of crimes per 1,000 residents is 70, that puts the number at 560,000 crimes. That's a lot. That's around 1 1/2 crimes per person in Minneapolis.

How do you think I feel? I think Tampa is so crime-ridden is because 80% of the people here are from elsewhere - New York, Boston, Philly, etc etc. We've got the cream of the crop. Just kidding mostly. Tampa's got a good vibe for the most part. Just gotta know where not to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windy1 Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 I heard today that per capita we also have more Catholic high schools than any other US city. First, that is an odd statistic for anyone to know. Second, you don't suppose there's any kind of odd corelation do you? :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieS Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Gosh, my town didn't make the list? Well, no one has heard of Manassas. Okay, honestly, though, some kids yelled "You're car sucks" out the bus window, and they pulled a gun. It's rather messed up, really. This, I must say, is one of the reasons I absolutely adore this town. Except I can't stand living here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieS Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Well, then again DC did make the list. So, that's close enough, I guess. Us with all of our gangs and all. MS13, of course. I doubt any one out of the area has heard of them. Oh well, they're a huge gang in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
