Not long ago, we had an interesting discussion on the 25 most liberal and conservative cities in America based on voting behavior. That thread is on the source URL.
I showed this list to a libtard acquaintence and suggested we compare crime rates. Of course, he tried to dismiss it stating factors other than liberal voting accounted for the high crime rates. We agreed to compare just the top five cities in each category just to sample his theory. So I am listing the top 5 cities in each category followed by the (total crime rate, violent crime rate, property crime rate). A score of 100.00 is exactly the national average. Thus, a score of 50 would be half the national average, a score of 200 would be twice the national average.
These can be verified on the Home Facts website.
And the opposite is true for the 5 conservative cities, with the exception of Abilene, where property crime outdoes the other two.
Might one surmise that in the conservative cities and Beserkly, property is actually owned.
While in the other Hell-Holes, assisted living and government housing are the norm?
Except the Black (Douglass) and Mexican areas on the east side.
Some of the credit should go to the aggressive police force.
This is probably meaningless of course, but San Francisco has 6% blacks and 15% Hispanic, and Dallas has 26% blacks and 36% Hispanic.
This is done for a good reason. It's why the FBI uses it.
Question:
Would you rather live in city of 1 million that had 300 murders, or a city of 200,000 that had 275 murders?
Feel free to answer the question.
Your assertion doesn’t hold much water. My city - OKC - capitol of the reddest of the red states has stats that are more than twice the national average in all the categories according to the website you linked to.
do you think Detroit in the near future will just die?
