North St. Louis looks like Detroit (emptied out of people). A cousin of my g-grandfather’s was Mayor of St. Louis a century ago (1913-1925). He was arguably its greatest Mayor and the city was on track to a million residents under his leadership (yes, he was a Republican). They named the auditorium/arena and opera house for him: Henry Kiel. He would be sickened to see what 7 decades of uninterrupted Democrat control has done to his beloved city.

[Nateman]

They need to use the data from the Religion of Peace website. Lots of terror related murders inside Islam’s House of Peace.

[morphing libertarian]

is St. Louis more violent than East St. Louis

[Charles Henrickson]

is St. Louis more violent than East St. Louis

No. East St. Louis is even more violent per capita, but there aren't enough capitas to make the list.

My next-door neighbor just left for a week in Mazatlan (43). But he’s at least in a less deadly city then where he flew from, St. Louis (13).

[sphinx]

Gee, I wonder what they have in common?

They all have ports. That has to be it; it's hard to see anything else in common.

[LibWhacker]

Fascinating, thx!

[antidemoncrat]

got it.

“Chocolate cities”

[FenwickBabbitt]

You can think that if you like but the fact is that homicide rates in Spain are tremendously lower than in Latin America, and none of those murder capitals are in the more Spanish/European Southern Cone of South America, but in heavily Indian and black areas (as un-PC, but undeniably true as that is to note). I’m not sure why Spaniards are supposed to be responsible for the sky high murder rates of Brazil’s cities either, considering Spain had nothing to do with Brazil. And it was not the Spanish who started the centuries long tradition of human sacrifice in Latin America.

I hope you were just being dramatic in your post and do know that the vast majority of Natives died because of European diseases not guns. That’s not to excuse the many murders the Spanish did commit, but let’s keep this in the realm of reality. Many nations and their leaders have murdered more than the Spanish ever came vaguely close to; Mao in China for one.

[LibWhacker]

50 murders in a town of 50 would be worse of all

Uh-uh, 100 murders in a town of 50 would be even worse, because that would mean they have to import people to murder. :-)

Not one in Afghanistan, or Pakistan, or Yemen??

[morphing libertarian]

thanx

[caww]

NY City is dangerous if you support POTUS....and they advertize it no less...

[Bon mots]

Not one in Afghanistan, or Pakistan, or Yemen??

I think they excluded war zones for this.

[Jane Long]

Those were NOT printed/posted by NYC Dept of Sanitation and have since been removed.

They were posted by a far left, sicko ‘artist’.

[caww]

Well there you have it....guess these ‘artist’s are everywhere now!

[caww]

Latinos, in their countries of origin have scads of drug lords and gangs... and government equally so. They ALL make their $$$$ from mostly drug money and extortion.

This is also why whenever any of our Presidents attempt to stop the drugs getting into the US all those people get their pants in knots. And Frankly the same with mexico pretty much.

The caravan on it’s way here likely isn’t just walking under their own steam. I suspect many are taking something to keep themselves going by now.

[big'ol_freeper]

I don’t go to Baltimordor anymore. No concealed carry no revenue from me.
