“St. Louis usurps Detroit to become most violent city in the US: Gateway City is worst for rape, robbery aggravated assault and murder according to FBI data”
The Ferguson effect.
What? Chicago didn’t make the list?
I’m shocked that Chicago is not in the top 5.
St. Louis usurps Detroit? The nerve!
Can we have a recount?
I’ve never been to St. Louis, is that another one of those cities run by conservatives for the last 50 years?
Michael Brown gives a ‘better’ excuse to riot and pillage. With Detroit, the only thing to be mad at is the EPA (which is a religious deity to liberals, so they would never express anger towards it).
Probably because Ndamagung Suh no longer lives here.
It’s gotten so bad in St. Louis that the funeral homes give volume discounts! (thank you very much!)
Hmmm....
I wonder if anything happened in the St Louis area recently, that may have caused this.
Perhaps enough of the ones causing crimes in Detroit have finally made the grade to meet their maker. Not to worry the next generation is preparing to take over the crown once again. Just give them a little time.
I’m very surprised it isn’t Chicongo
So, what do all of these cities have in common?
“Flyover country” has become less a description
than a recommendation.
WOO-HOO!! We're #1! We're #1! In your FACE, Detroit!
Odessa supposedly super violent?
Odessa Texas had the following homicide totals:
2011———6
2012———5
2013———2
2014———11
I think that last year was about 7 IIRC.
Flint, Michigan has about 110,000 versus Odessa’s 130,000.
Flint has 50-—70 Killings per year. Odessa had half as many killings in the last five years than Flint has in one year.
St Louis is actually a rather small city , it was separated from St Louis County over taxation issues back in the late 19th century, one of few cities that is not part of a county and has a city Sherriff as well as a PD.
It has dwindled from 800+k in the 1940s to around 315k today- a devastated inner city mess.
Ferguson is not part of St Louis, but a ‘burb.
Avoid it.
