Interesting that little CT scores 3 times!
How many are run by RATs?
I am ready to be proven wrong in my PREJUDICE, but ...
I presume:
Correlation between both party affiliation and pigmentation of the MAYORS in those cities would likely approach 90%.
Ready to be admonished.
Let me guess - Bridgeport, New Haven, and Hartford?
[Checking article at source] ROTFL yep!
Hartford #24, New Haven #20, and Bridgeport #4.
They are on their way to not really being cities any more.
In the meantime, other cities with lower crime rates have sextupled (like Austin) or doubled (like Portland).
And the returning champion, Flint Michigan, takes the crown again!
LOL Chicago doesn’t even make the list.
Correction: incidence of a certain party affiliation AND a certain visible pigmentation are likely to HIGHLY correlate to being on this list, and HIGH on the list.
Had to fix my prior statement of prejudice.
RE: Interesting that little CT scores 3 times!
My car was “profiled” by the Police when I drove through Bridgeport once.
Here are the 3 CT cities in the top 25”
Hartford, CT #24 (Their capital)
New Have, CT #20 ( Where the prestigious YALE UNIVERSITY is)
Bridgeport, CT #4
Yay! Not a single Florida city. So despite our being the state with the most dysfunctional citizens, we’re pretty tame as far as crime. Awesome.
If they were combined into one city, they would barely make the top 50.
About the same number of people live in Wichita as these three combined.
I would wager all of them are run by democrats.
Don’t celebrate just yet, the Florida cities might be in the top 40... :)
Take a wild guess about #8 ping
Orlando and Jacksonville maybe. Sarasota’s also a possibility. My home town of Tampa Bay, aside from maybe St. Pete, should be relatively quiet. The Cubanos are laid back.
Three Ohio ciies made the list.Strangely,Columbus is not one of them.
Murders are way down.
All the press attention has apparently inspired Rahm Emanuel to transform a few thousand uniformed and unionized bear claw digesters into a police force.
Interesting, but not surprising to those of us with CT backgrounds.
Except for maybe Stamford not being on the list.
Bridgeport was no-go territory when I was a teenager. New Haven largely the same (occasional daytime trips to Pepe’s being exceptions).
I think I’d still rather take my chances in Detroit where I could defend myself.
