There is no such thing as a “bad area”, “bad neighborhood” etc., there are just bad populations.

Cook County in Illinois — home to Chicago — led the country with 775 reported homicides in 2020. It was followed by Los Angeles County at 691, Houston home Harris County in Texas at 537, Philadelphia at 495 and New York’s five boroughs at 465.

The problem is Soros 'prosecutors' are spreading the range and power of criminals in these 'limited' urban hellholes.

Only a tiny fraction of U.S. counties account for nearly all of the country’s homicides

Counties commit homicides now?

I live in one of those “no homicides” counties. I think we last had a homicide three or four years ago when two cousins got drunk and into an argument, then one shot the other dead. They said he “had it coming”, so I don’t think anyone other than the cops were that upset. The murder interrupted their nap at the cross-roads where occasionally one of them wakes up long enough to notice someone roll through the stop sign and they are able to issue a ticket. Not much happens around here.

Hispanics can be of any race - says so on the census.

Majority of Hispanics in the US are of Mexican heritage and most of these folks are of mixed Euro and Amerindian ancestry. Mrs Clemenza is Puerto Rican, and like most PRs is of mixed Euro/west African/Taino Indian ancestryZ

‘..Cook County in Illinois — home to Chicago — led the country with 775 reported homicides in 2020....”

Satan is very proud of his BeetleJuice demon...verrrrry proud....it’s one of his finest in this day and hour. However, old BeetleJuice still has a quota to meet so don’t expect it to back off the pedal anytime soon....

there seems to be an uptick in white trash/psycho murders of late....

be prepared for the white trash violence to increase.....

this is what happens when you constantly destroy people's hope and aspirations....and when you let drugs run the country...

most of us can stay away from the 1% murder counties but we can't avoid the white trash/psychos running around.

RE: Well, that explains why I’ve been feeling so safe since moving to a small rural town.

When I was a kid (1950s) our relatives from rural Michigan would visit in our suburb outside of Detroit. They all would kid us and were amazed at our locking the house doors to go out somewhere. No need for them at that time for their towns (Port Austin, Oscoda, Saginaw, East Tawas).

I am okay with the criminals keeping their cancerous rot on their streets.

no surprise about Los Angeles - the latinos come to America and bring their grudges (and regional tribalism) with them

I got messed up on a recent poll and read it as 46% of Gen Z kids considered themselves “non-binary”. It was really 46% of Gen Z kids that are LGBTQ consider themselves “non-binary”. Sadly, the way the media portrays things I figured it very well could be 46% of all kids!

But - about 10% of Gen Z think they are LGBTQ.

“Lies, damned lies, and statistics.”

That was my first guess. Farming and something.

"1% of U.S. Counties responsible for 42% of America's murders"

We must ban counties to solve the murder problem!

Mr. Lott pointed to an inverse correlation in his study between counties with high homicide totals and gun ownership.

Near the end of the article.

Philadelphia at 495

The entire City of Philadelphia is a county unto itself, with abundant classical European architecture and amenities. It has one of the largest public park systems of any city in the country (from formal with fountains and gardens to forests with creeks and trails). It has two narrow rivers running beside or through, and a very walkable, predominantly low-rise building scheme with miles of visibility, like Paris. Large sections of the City are heavily residential in two- and three-story rowhomes or two-story duplexes. I wish I knew the neighborhood breakdown for murders, although if you've lived there, it's pretty obvious.

Back in the late 80s, the FBI rating for the ten largest cities showed Philly as one of the safest of them, even with the old-time Democrat mayors. Then around the time of Bill Clinton the City Council turned "politically correct" and hard left, exalting POCs and especially LGBTs. Now look.
