"...It's important to note that even though some cities may have comparatively high murder rates, crime is, on the average, down in the U.S over the last two decades. Over that period, the homicide rate in the U.S. has fallen from a 1991 peak of 9.8 murders per 100,000 people, to just 5.7 in 2006

Due to the death penalty and tough on crime laws liberals would like to jettison. If they get it their way, look for the homicide rate to zoom back up.

These 10 are democrat enclaves. I’d bet they also have other major social negatives also......... education, welfare, etc.

Wow at 5.7% that is over 170,000 deaths in 2006. I wonder how that measures up with the total number of Iraqis and US military killed combined since 2003 to now?

How nice for them to be included on such a notorious list!
The only two surprises to me are St. Louis - I thought the mid-west was more peaceful. And Buffalo...where it is so darn cold, and covered with snow and ice most of the time (that's why I left the north anyway) that I would think most people would be too busy keeping warm and staying inside! Maybe they get "cabin fever?" LOL

We're number 1! We're number 1! We're number 1...............Should have been last year too but I don't think they count the numbers that didn't die immediately..........
Heck, we're even logging multiples on weekends so eat that L.A. and Washington DC.....

And what do they all have in common ? Aside from Cincinnati, not a one has had a Republican Mayor in 35-50 years or longer. In New Orleans’ case, not in about 130+ years.

I think St. Louis’ boundaries are actually fixed by the Missouri constitution. So the low-crime suburbs many big cities have on their outskirts are more absent in St. Louis - they’re part of other cities. That probably contributes to a higher per-capita crime rate.
