It also looks like Tijuana made the list - coming in at number 5!

I guess that will make people forget about the donkey shows...

^{Is that donkey winking too?}

[Charles Henrickson]

St. Louis, Baltimore, New Orleans, and Detroit. . . . Gee, I wonder what they have in common?

[Charles Henrickson]

Chicago has many times more the population of St. Louis. Murder rate is less per capita. I grew up in the city of Chicago, and I live in St. Louis County (not City). The stats are for the city populations.

[eyeamok]

Why surprised?? The Spaniards were the most blood thirsty people on the planet, they killed Everyone in Sight in half of North America, Especially what is now California

[Bon mots]

St. Louis, Baltimore, New Orleans, and Detroit. . . . Gee, I wonder what they have in common?

Democrats?

Or demographics?

[eyeamok]

St. Louis, Baltimore, New Orleans, and Detroit. . . . Gee, I wonder what they have in common?

White Privilege?

[Charles Henrickson]

St. Louis City used to have about a million residents. Now it’s about 350,000. Majority moved out to the suburbs.

[siberianheat]

The city limits of St. Louis are small relative to the metro area. It is also where the bulk of the gangs work their magic. This is why there is a push being led by some of the most epic level of stupid politicians to merge the city back into the county. Then the number of murders would count against the total for the whole area, and this would INSTANTLY remove this badge of honor from our great metropolis dontchaknow?

St. Louis has a moonbat crazy leftist mayor at the helm. One of her first acts was to “deal with” removing confederate statues that never bothered anyone. From there, things just got worse. I think the police have been ordered pretty much to stand down in that part of the city, lest they be seen as racist. A nice holdover from the Ferguson debacle. That’s why crime is now out of control.

*golf clap*

Well done, St. Louis (my hometown). You’ve finally reached the brass ring.

[steve86]

Yep, not a one in my late wife’s country of India, although I’m guessing that certain types of assaults/murders don’t get counted in third-world countries, depending on the social status of the victim.

[Beagle8U]

Yay...Detoliet made the list.

[Beagle8U]

“I’m so bad, I vacation in Detroit!”

Is a popular T-shirt.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Chicago would have to have almost 2,000 murders per year to equal St. Louis.

[Vlad The Inhaler]

Shouldn’t we get it by now that “these huddled masses yearning to be free” are tearfully fleeing danger and need asylum.

They aren't "Yearning To Be Free."

They are yearning for free American stuff.

They are yearning to free us of our money, our jobs, our daughters and anything else that catches their eyes.

[grania]

I'm guessing certain types of assaults/murders don't go reported in third world countries

I'm wondering about only South Africa having cities with high murder rates in Africa. I'm wondering if it isn't because South Africa has vestiges of Western Civilization still in place, so murders are still reported and records kept.

[Rurudyne]

When far Leftist are involved shouldn’t that be reaching for the brass anklets as We The People bend over for them to take another go at us?

[sauropod]

bkmk

[sauropod]

I see Baltimordor made #21 on the list.

All of us here in the Land of Peasant Living are so proud...

[MCF]

I live in South ST. Louis. North ST. Louis is as dangerous as it gets. Our Mayor is absolutely clueless.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Wow, that’s a huge population decline. I’m sure it’s politically incorrect, to speculate about why so many people moved out of St. Louis.

[DoodleBob]

Kentucky Fried Movie does torture right...
