St Louis has topped the FBI's list of most dangerous cities across the Unites States. More than 88 violent crimes took place for every 10,000 residents in the Missouri city during the first half of 2015 - compared to an average rate of 36.6 across the US in 2014, FBI data reveals. Those crimes can include robbery, aggravated assault, rape and even murder.

Lots of gentle giants there, like unarmed Mikey.
Another great city run by Demorats since 1949.
With all this news about Chicago’s weekend death toll every week, who knew St. Louis was worse?
It's kind of like the misleading Hillary polls. This rate is per 10,000 population. Since Chicago's population is much larger the total number of murders is much higher but on a per capita basis, St. Louis squeaks past. Not sure if the St. Louis stats include all of St. Louis county where most whites fled to years ago.
How come no shooting reports? Chi-congo is always mentioned.
“and which race commits these lovely crimes? Just one intuitive cracker askin....”
Well, in the case of Stockton, your “intuition” is wrong. There it’s Mexicans! Plus Stockton just went through a municipal bankruptcy without actually fixing their fiscal problems. The Cops and the FF’s got a pass on any haircuts, and they are 80% of the city’s budget, so they will go back into bankruptcy again, soon! Government employee pensions will soon kill off a number of cities in California.
I learned a lot by working for a company with a branch here.
Crooks, liars, slave drivers, psychos.
Cant imagine what it must be like now.

It’s still a small town with a disproportional amount of crime,
The 1876 vote to separate from St. Louis County was one of the dumbest ideas ever. The city didn't want to pay for services in outlying areas. Apparently nobody foresaw the later growth of suburbs.
“I took the wrong interstate exit once and landed in downtown East St Louis. “
I was visiting a friend of mine from high school who had moved near there when his dad got transferred to Scott AFB. His dad took us on a tour of East St. Louis after a Cardinals game. He was a bird colonel, and he didn’t stop for one stop sign the entire tour. I think it was some kind of lesson on sloth and responsibility, or something...
Well, to be fair to the civic leaders in 1876, separation probably worked pretty well for them for the next 75 years or so. I think the city reached its peak population in the 1950 census. But in the long long run, it doomed the city. As things got worse, many who could fled to the county leaving the city with thousands of empty buildings.
Hard to believe but Chicago is still about 33% white. We’ll bag about 500 plus this year. Still way ahead in actual numbers of murdered.
