I see that Lancaster PA made the list. Not surprising. And FWIW, its not the Amish Mafia that is the problem there.
Its mostly the same here in York PA. Some days, when Im watching the local news and hear about the latest shooting or stabbing, carjacking, home invasion, I feel like Im back home in Baltimore. The only time I venture into York City is when I absolutely have to like back in October when I had to go to the court house to get my expedited passport for an upcoming business trip. It was like going to a 3rd world country. And downtown York doesnt have much to offer in terms of restaurants or museums or attractions so the only reason I have to go there is when I have to.
Mind you, the surrounding areas, rural York and Lancaster counties are beautiful and there are many good and conservative people in these parts but to be fair and honest it isnt just the minorities; there are a lot of white welfare scum, mothers with multiple kids from different baby daddies, meth heads and heroin addicts who commit a good number of crimes outside of Lancaster and York Cities. I work in Manheim which is a quaint little town in the heart of Amish country but I understand that there is a very big heroin problem there.
