USA: Major city murder ranking for 2017

Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, El Paso and Oklahoma City all near each other around 25th.

St Louis number one. New Orleans and Detroit up there.

Las Vegas number six due to mass shooting.

Honolulu up there. Hawaii virtually gun free like the U.K.

What is the common denominator? It’s not gun control. Temperatures, Minneapolis up there? Poverty?

I"ll take Democrats in control for the win.
In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside the law to pursue a natural justice.

DING! DING! DING! DING!! We have a winner!! :hurry:

While other factors, may play a role, I believe that if you look at the policies, put in place by the top cities, on the list, you will see, a large majority, are designed to keep people in poverty, have sub-par school systems, and have regulations, that keep new businesses, from moving in. JMHO

Chicago is still the murder capital of the country with 9.6% of all murders.
Additionally Chicago has 5.5% of all rapes, 7.9% of all robberies, 6% of all aggravated assaults and 12.9% of all non-fatal shootings.
Of all the crimes committed in the survey, Chicago commits 7%.
One city, controlled by Democrats for 87 years.
The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

Sorry ElPaso and Austin are 56 and 57.

I generalized too much about Texas.

Interesting that ElPaso is so relatively safe and right across the border is a gun free country.

Chicago isn't dangerous. Most of Chicago is quite safe. Parts of Chicago are worse than Fallujah.

Sure, if taken as a whole. But if you actually lived there, you'd never visit the places where 99% of the murders happen. I don't visit Pasadena or Sunnyside.
