Wow.
The United States has 6 of the 50, right here.
(counting one in Puerto Rico)
planned parenthood recorded 333,964 homicides in 2012.
Hmmmm I detect a common thread in most of these cities.
“The study does not count deaths in a war zone”
Really? Oakland and NOLA are war zones at night.
Every American city on that list is controlled by Democrats.
Shameful to have any American cities on the list.
What are the concealed carry laws in those cities?
C’mon Detroit you can do better than #21. Go Detroit!
New Orleans, Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, Oakland. While others like D.C. and Miami are no longer in the top 50 they are hovering just out of reach. These cities have been bad for 30 years at least.
Very interesting, informative. Thanks for posting.
New Orleans is #17 — right up there with Mexico and S American countries...
If only they had sensible gun control laws... /sarc
I suspect a lot of other cities would be up there if they provided better statistics?
Is South Africa the only violent country on the African continent? I rather doubt it. But maybe they don’t keep any statistics to rely on in Sudan or Congo?
And how about Libya or Syria? Or Afghanistan?
Man, don’t forget Sealy, Texas.
Acapulco 2nd most dangerous ? Of course, even Elvis didn’t go to Acapulco when he made “Fun in Acapulco.”
Jackson, Mississippi comes in at Number 8.
It has this quote:
“Racial tension is rife in Jackson and has fueled some of its murders. Recently, there was a spate of attacks by young whites against blacks.”
I checked out that link in the NYTimes.
One murder, white on Black.
All the other “attacks” involve slingshots and thrown bottles.
A 21 year old white guy, who had no connection to the murder, has pleaded guilty to “Conspiracy To Commit A Hate Crime” and could be sentenced to 5 years in federal prison.
Apparently, he and some of his white pals drove into Jackson from out of town several times to “harass” Black people.
Sounds like a plea bargain in return for testimony against his friends, but no exact details.
I can't help but notice that the NYTimes claims that the “Knockout Game” is a myth.
By the way - always important to remember this when you see white-on-Black crime statistics:
The FBI counts Hispanics as white.
So, when a Hispanic gang banger kills a Black gang banger, that counts as a white person murdering a Black person!
I believe the list is 100% socialist/communist/democrat shitholes.
No Asia. No Europe. No Africa, except South Africa.
Well, to be fair, those are the most violent cities in countries where the rule of law is strong enough to record homicides as crimes. I suspect cities under the control of Islamists in various parts of the Arab world beat a lot of them, at least if one counts the extra-judicial killings of people for violating the local Al Qaeda faction’s reading of sharia as murders rather than executions for crimes.
