Lets see, Decatur is a very close-in suburb to Altanta, literally within a couple of miles from downtown...You could walk into downtown Atlanta from there.
Lets look at the crime stats for these two regions, shall we?

Lumping Decatur in with Atlanta is like using DC stats for Chevy Chase, MD. What’s your point?
Come on.
My point is, and the stats clearly indicate, there is a hell of a lot more crime in that area, than Newport Beach.
This isn't even debatable.
That’s ridiculous. And what does it have to do with those commercials?
The commercials are government sponsored, in NB, with little crime, they try to make it look really exciting and dangerous...Ya getting the picture?
Yes. You are dishonest and crave fascism.
Dishonest how? Ya think government law enforcement recruitment videos don't embellish and gin up their productions?
Too funny!
Yeah, I walked real close to that block during a convention with a bunch of off-time. The neighborhoods seemed fine, nothing that I could complain about at all (except the real estate prices).
Hey you dumb piece of trash, how about not putting your baby in the middle of a riot.
(Capitol Hill would have also worked in my little joke)
The point of those ads was to show how un-American that Newport Beach video was. You SUPPORT that stuff????
You can't be this stupid.
The ads/links you provided were law enforcement RECRUITMENT videos. Newport Beach is relatively crime free compared to any part of the Atlanta region. Why do ya think they doctored it up, to make it look dangerous and exciting?
Hello?
Newport Beach unAmerican? BTW slick, NB is probably one of the most Republican, conservative areas of the state.
It's time to put some cones around your comments.
Yo, those accents suggest English is not only the first language there, it's the only one. You run into that a lot in CA ~ really old hispanic neighborhoods ~
Watching the video it turns out the girl's uncle was unarmed ~ and it seems the cops shot him for running?
Then there’s Manhattan Beach ~ even with property values down the way they are now about 99.999999% of Americans can’t really afford to live there ~ miles to real grocery stores ~ wears out Mercedes something fierce i’ve been told.

A friend of mine lives there, and dang, last time I visited her, I had the same thought...Tijuana! My friend and her son have nicknamed their town “Ana-Crime.” Their cars have been repeatedly broken into or stolen, and the loud Mexican music keeps them up at night. It’s gotten as bad as LA. Makes me sick, what has happened to this once wonderful area.
My children used to go to school right next to Anna Drive. It’s a very rough neighborhood and the poverty is terrible.
There are two churches within a block of it; they should be doing more to lift Anna Drive up.
