2015 most dangerous cities in USA

[Buggin]

I saw some clowns post

DC, like many other cities, is a great example of how one can live in a safe neighborhood because there of the fact that no private citizen can have a gun. Love it.

So I did a little digging (very little) and found this list. Thought it was interesting.
Looks like Mass has 8 on the list. NJ 7, Cal 7, NY 5.
I thought the numbers would be higher. He's still an idiot and wrong, but I was surprised by some of these numbers.
Granted, it's only the top 100.

[Parker Duofold]

Michigan has 3 in the top 10.

 

[cockpitbob]

And little Connecticut has 4.

 

[mchncbill]

I count 7 for Mass. Congratulations folks!

 

[mikem317]

Worcester, Springfield, Holyoke, Fall River, Lawrence, Chelsea, Brockton, and New Bedford.

Massghanistan represent.

Man, Fall River moved back up. It was 44th last year, now it's 63rd.

 

[jron]

No Lowell? Bullshit

I'm sure it didn't get any better, the others just got worse...

 

[jhblaze1]

No Lowell? Bullshit

or Lynn? Lynn's worse than Brockton by a mile.

 

[efowke]

It's too broad of a range of population numbers for me. Chester PA lists a population of about 34k. Which means that probably the entire city is just awful. Detroit is #3 with a population of almost 700k. I would assume that there are some sections of Detroit which aren't going to make the top ten on their own....perhaps not even the top 100...which means that there are probably sections of Detroit that make Chester look like a vacation destination.

 

[Garys]

List is complete BS. NOLA, Memphis, TN, West Memphis, AR, are all much more dangerous than most of the list. Brockton isn't even a blip compared to some of those places.

 

[frenchman]

No NH, VT, AZ, AK... Yeah, I get how little gun restrictions wreak havoc on society.

 

[northny]

So I grew up in number 15. Left after high school and never looked back. 50 years of "urban renewal and welfare and FSA under democrats and it is unchanged

How do you measure "more dangerous?" What criteria are you using when you say these things?

Thanks.

 

[M1911]

I had no idea Rockford and Springfield IL were that dangerous.

 

[76Too]

Looks like Chelsea just moved up a notch...a tree just fell on a bunch of kids in a park.

[StevieP]

Gee, I wonder if the cities at the top (bottom?) of the list have anything in common? What could it be?

 

[413dan]

what is the criteria for this, how is chicago aka chiraq not on there

 

[Jsfitzgerald85]

good old New Bedford

 

[brian.z]

what is the criteria for this, how is chicago aka chiraq not on there

Because they separate it out into Harvey, IL and Gary, IN. I'm not familiar with Rockford, IL, but I'd would have a hard time believing some of it's problems had not spilled over from Chicago.

ahhh, ok. because with something like 500+people shot in chicago last year it shocked me not seeing it on the list

 

[mikeyp]

Well, it is still 3rd/4th worse in Mass, so there is that...

 

[Fetch]

Myrtle Beach is more dangerous than BodyMore?! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
