Note that these rankings are by “violent crime per 1000”, NOT by number of murders.
If they were ranked by MURDERS the list would be -
1. Detroit (344)
2. Baltimore (196)
3. Memphis (117)
.
.
Note that Democrat-controlled Chicago had 441 murders last year, making it a clear leader in that respect. BUT that’s The Prez’s hometown, so reporting it that way wouldn’t make him look too good ... easier to rank it by some other stat, so Chicago disappears ....
And then there’s Las Vegas...if the crime isn’t reported, it won’t make the statistics. Can’t scare the tourists....
