DC is number nine, HOLLA!

Actually, I have noticed the murder rate going down...I have lived here all my life and went to college here. There were some summers where things were horrible....if anyone remembers the Columbia Heights Shotgun Stalker, that was the neighborhood I used to live in. (Early 90's) But things are better.

is that total murders, or murders per capita. Richmond used to be really bad.

New York may be number 2 but I'll put it like this
If you get hit by a car in NY, it's because people are speeding. In DC, you get hit by a car because they press the gas on your azz.

You know DC is gangsta. 14th and Clifton, Trinidad, Lincoln Heights, The whole of Southeast. Come on now. I'm SCERRed. Don't take what I say too seriously now. I don't want that golden-eyed phantom of a cat and that big black panther to go into attack mode.

I always thought Detroit led the world in rapes and murders.

Good to see Htown at a respectable 6th

San Diego is never in the top 10 in this sort of thing. Now expensive housing, that's a whole another thread...

Aww shucks, I guess that means not as much overtime for my DC Homicide Detective brother-in-law. I wonder if he'll have to sell his Escalade now?

Joburg is really bad. Whenever the police does a raid, they do it with the backup of the armed forces. Espcially Hillsbrow. I saw a tv special on it, and they use copter, tanks, and the cops and the military folks used automatic weapon. it's very scary in hillsbrow. But they are tackling it head on. now they have came all over the city to monitor. I've read report where a murder happen, then half an hour later, the guy gets arrested. They actually show the footage of the murder taken place.
