No L.A.?

[IronMexican]

LA is too big to be on it. I am surprised Compton didn't make it though.

[SpursStalker]

Hmmm I know a few people in the Detroit area ... wonder if they've contributed to the violence.

:lol

[Vinnie_Johnson]

We win again you all are still soft.

[Rip-Hamilton32]

i always thought Philly was number 1 but its not even top 5

[CuckingFunt]

Boy... I sure do miss living in Stockton.

[Fillmoe]

lol.... stockton cali... i go to school there... it truly is a shitty place....

[CuckingFunt]

lol.... stockton cali... i go to school there... it truly is a shitty place....

Yes. Yes it is. I'm very happy to be gone. And, since all my family has finally moved away, once I get the rest of my stuff out of storage, I'll be completely without ties to the area for the first time in my life.

[BacktoBasics]

LOL @ Compton being safer than Memphis.

[baseline bum]

Watts is the really bad part of LA; much worse than Compton, except of course the areas of Compton nearest Watts.

[Leetonidas]

Miami's number 3? Damn, looks like they need Shaq back over there.

[IronMexican]

Watts is pretty bad.

[clambake]

ask yonivore......he'll tell the most dangerous place on earth is englewood.

[1Parker1]

Whoo-Hoo, no Philly!! :)

[Bukefal]

interesting, i didnt knew memphis was such criminal. and i was surprised to see LA left out of the list.

[dirk4mvp]

Memphis does blow. I passed through it on the way to Germantown to hoop, it's just a fat pile of shit.

[mavs>spurs2]

I see the people in Memphis have been listening to too much three 6 mafia :lol

[Oh, Gee!!]

no Baltimore aka Bodymore?

[Jacob1983]

Orlando was number 6 and I was really surprised about that. I went to Orlando and Kissimmee back in March and they didn't seem like dangerous cities to me. I'm also surprised that Memphis is so high.

How is it that Santa Barbara is not on that list? There are some real mean people here I am telling you.

[baseline bum]

I'm surprised Little Rock in only #7; I have heard really bad things about that city.

[Ditty]

im suprised san antonio is not on there coming back from the carnival from fiesta it look like a prison yard

[ALVAREZ6]

WTF is up with the tennessee violence? memphis and nashville both on the top 10.


and West Palm Beach? What do those bastards have to be pissed about?

[CubanMustGo]

Statistically speaking a lot of these metros are pretty close ... and the stats only reflect crimes that are reported to the local PD.

Three 6 mafia, seriously. They're from Tennessee and their music is extremely popular amongst the young black population there. Their label is called "hypnotize minds" and has been known to incite riots and make people act crazy. All of their old work was satanic and about gruesome murder, they pretty much rapped about nothing else. "Tear Da Club Up" actually got banned in clubs because people were literally tearing the clubs up. I seriously wouldn't doubt if this played a part in it.

[BlackSwordsMan]

finally a list Texas isn't on. :downspin:

bangin in little rock

[Thunder Dan]

West Palm Beach? What do those bastards have to be pissed about?

WPB is a weird town. You can be in basically the richest area in the country where Madoff's mingle with Trumps on lobster, and make 3 left turns and be in the ghetto. Palm Beach Island is pretty ritzy and nice, but off that Island it's really sketchy
