For giggles, it would be informative to see exactly how many of these thirty are minority controlled administrations.

I already know about Fulton County Georgia. Likely there are many, many others on the list that fit that too.

These communities are Majority Minority, of this I have no doubt.

The reason they kill? Whitey has driven them to it, of that I also have no doubt......sarcasm off.......

Need to put the County Seat on each one so we know without having to look it up where each county is.

I’d just be spit-balling here but I think it might be related to publishing a list of “Murder Capitals” and then largely describing them as Counties, a Parrish, Burrough or the like instead of significant contained well known cities.

If they actually did it by real cities, we’d then see immediately that Fulton County Georgia is actually ATLANTA....and so forth. And to my recollection, Atlanta hasn’t had a white mayor or administration since long about 1972. I’ll be whoever published this crap actually spent a whole day on how to disguise the real impact of what the data tells us.

Actually for a short time during my one of my father’s very infrequent stateside deployments in the 40s, 50s and 60s, I lived at 28th Avenue, Marlow Heights, Prince Georges County Maryland. The only way I can see that house now is to drive by about 50-60 MPH.

About Newport News (25) and Norfolk VA (28). Nearly 100% of the murders in these two cities are black men murdered by other black men. I’ve yet to hear a peep out of BLM or the Black Panthers.

WOW! Chaves County, NM is on the list. I figured Santa Fe or Albuquerque would make that list, but Roswell?

Roswell is just a city in a LARGE rural area in the middle of vast areas of ranch land. And to think I used to live in that area, twice!

Pulaski, and Jefferson Counties in Ar I expected it.

Your two city choices are ON THE MONEY. Contra Costa county DOES have some money so I guess that's why it wasn't on the list. Some parts of Oakland are STINKIN' rich too.

Only one Texas county on the list. So much for the anti-gun crowds claims of the old west coming back due to the new open carry laws.

But … Hunt County? Really? Not much out that way other than Greenville, TX.

So I asked my GPS how long it takes to drive through St. Louis.

Got an error message saying nobody's made it that far.
