Probably, but there are still more people without cars in LA than in Denver. So car ownership per person is lower, so it's a less target-rich environment for car thieves, so LA's car thefts per 100,000 is lower.
In fact, Denver has nearly **3 times** more burglaries, vehicle thefts, and rapes per capita, than Los Angeles.
You're missing a key word there: 3x more *reported* crimes.
Like I said, I think it's far more likely that most of the forcible rapes LA gangbangers are doing aren't being reported to the police than that Denver is so much more violent than LA.
And if you're an illegal alien from a country with a crappy government, you won't report crimes like car thefts or burglaries.
As a Denverite, the stats don't make sense to me. How would you explain the disparity between the two numbers?
I think a lot of the problem is that the LA stats are plain wrong and are more likely to miss unreported crimes than the Denver numbers. Why am I wrong?
Face it, Denver has *substantially* more crime per capita than Los Angeles, in 5 of the 7 major crime categories.
Here, maybe a colorful chart, instead of words will help you grasp this.
Denver and Los Angeles Comparative Crime Ratios per 100,000 People
Why would illegals report burglaries and rapes in Denver and not else where? lol.....Nice try slick.
Here is one image, where tens of thousands of illegals marched or Denver in 2006, making demands and threats, as they did everywhere else.
I'll see if I can find the larger image of this, that clearly shows them marching on the city, from beyond the green bridge in the background and out of sight.
