Is there a trend?
…and why is it that the most dangerous cities are located in places where gun control is the tightest?
Hmmm… My first guess would be that Democrats are actually alien life forms who hate humans and want to create the most dangerous possible environments for them to live in. But that seems too obvious.
It is simply a coincidence that the urban hell holes are all run by Democrats…
Democraps only want to punish law abiding citizens because it's much easier.
I thought New Orleans would be on the Bad Place list. Things must have improved after I left . . . or because.
Ummm… How is Chicago NOT on that bad cities list???
I think that is the list of "major cities." Overall, with medium sized cities included…Flint, Michigan is actually #1, ATLANTIC CITY came in #7. However, Atlantic City officials feel the #s are skewed, but if you use their logic, ATLANTIC CITY should be higher than #7.

Of the 19 homicides (…about a week in Chicago), probably 15 are attributed to rival gang violence…you should be able to read something in the paper, lets say around the end of the month regarding these groups (depends on what happens in the next week, ironically, in Camden, where the satellite United States Attorney's Office is)…stay tuned
BTW, Atlantic City mayer Lorenzo is from a long list of Democrats leading the way there…
The Democrats have worked hard to cultivate their constituents in large urban hubs. The numbers on dangerous and safe (based on what I read) were only partially anchored on Part 1 Crimes.
I think the republican government is the best kind of government.
