  1. Love what is currently going on in Chiraq/ Chicago and excited about what will happen in the next few months. This is giving Americans a good look at what democrats are all about. We may not be a craphole country yet but we sure have some sewer like cities, all democrat controlled. Hey, Trock do you really want to be connected to this party, get out while you still have a decent reputation. The worse and most dangerous cities in this country are Chicago, Baltimore, Little Rock, Memphis, Spokane, Detroit, Houston and a host of others and they all have a commonality, one is that they are all democrat controlled. Look at the same wards here in Evansville and you see exactly the same thing. Love how the democrats are attacking Jews, Christians, white straight males and unions, Even obama has called you out. Local voters need to take a long hard look at the local democrats and never let them get a stranglehold on us like they have in other sewer systems.

    • And let the usual bullshit continue. Chicago is not in the “worst and most dangerous” city list, but you right-wingers love to say it is because Twittler yammers about it. Chicago did not make it into the top 10 (or even the top 25) per the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program Violent Crimes database

      10. Indianapolis, Indiana – 1,288 Violent Crimes per 100,000 People

      Indianapolis, the largest city in Indiana, is the 10th most violent city in the United States. Over recent years, the city has seen a leap in homicide rates. Between 2012 and 2014, it was reported that the murder rate in Indianapolis increased by nearly 50 percent

      9. Cleveland, Ohio – 1,334 Violent Crimes per 100,000 People

      Cleveland ranks ninth on the list of the United States’ most dangerous cities. Its violent crime rate is 1,334.3 incidences for every 100,000 people. Like many other cities who battle violent crime, problems like high unemployment, rampant poverty, and urban decay have all influenced Cleveland’s high crime rate

      8. Stockton, California – 1,352 Violent Crimes per 100,000 People

      Stockton, California ranks as the ninth most dangerous city in the United States, with 1,352 violent crimes committed for every 100,000 people. The aggravated assault rate in Stockton is particularly high, at 916.4 per every 100,000 people

      7. Kansas City, Missouri – 1,654 Violent Crimes per 100,000 People

      Kansas City is the fifth most dangerous city in the United States, and the second entry on this list from Missouri. There are an average of 1,654 violent crimes per 100,000 people in Kansas City. The high rate of violent crime in Kansas City can be partially attributed to its homicide rate, which is higher than other cities of its size. The homicide rate of Kansas City sits at around 23.5 murders per 100,000 people – much higher than the country average of 5 per 100,000

      6. Oakland, California – 1442 Violent Crimes per 100,000 People

      Oakland, California, comes in eighth with a violent crime rate of 1,442.5 per 100,000. Crime has been a problem in Oakland since at least the late 1960s. Rates of robbery are high in Oakland, with robberies targeting around 1 person out of every 91 city residents

      5. Baltimore, Maryland – 1,535 Violent Crimes per 100,000 People

      Baltimore ranks fifth with a violent crime rate of 1,535.9 violent crimes for every 100,000 people. Both robbery and assault are problems in Baltimore. Unfortunately, much of the crime in Baltimore has been linked to illegal drug trafficking and a stubborn poverty rate. The homicide rate in Baltimore is also very high, standing at around 57.8 per every 100,000 people

      4. Milwaukee, Wisconsin – 1,596 Violent Crimes per 100,000 People

      Crime in Milwaukee is higher than the US average, giving it a ranking as number four on the list of the country’s most dangerous cities. Although Milwaukee ranks lower than the national average for rates of aggravated assault, other crime rates such as homicide, rape, and robbery are all higher than average in the city

      3. Memphis, Tennessee – 1,740 Violent Crimes per 100,000 People

      Number three on the list is Memphis, Tennessee, with 1,740.1 violent crimes per 100,000 people. For the past ten years or so, Memphis has been ranked among the most dangerous cities in the country. It has been theorized that a major contributing factor to the rise of crimes in the city is a high poverty rate together with increasing unemployment

      2. Detroit, Michigan – 1,759 Violent Crimes per 100,000 People

      Detroit, Michigan, has the second highest violent crime rate in the United States with 1,759.6 violent crimes per 100,000 people. Some of the most common crimes in the city are aggravated assault, assault with a deadly weapon, rape, armed robbery, murder and non-negligent manslaughter. It is important to note that crime in Detroit, in general, has been decreasing over recent years. The number of murders and homicides in the city reached their lowest in 47 years as only 298 murders and intentional homicides were reported. However, in the first three months of 2015, homicide rates in the city had risen by about 25% as compared to the same period in the last year

      1. St. Louis, Missouri – 1,817 Violent Crimes per 100,000 People

      With a violent crime rate of 1,817.1 per 100,000 people, St. Louis is the most dangerous city in the United States. Since the 1990s, crime in this Missouri city has been steadily increasing. However, in recent years, crime does seem to be decreasing slightly. St. Louis is notable for having the highest murder rate in the country at 59.8 homicides per 100,000. This rate is still far behind the most dangerous cities in the world, which can have a murder rate of over 100 per 100,000

      • All of these cities are run by democrats and have a more than normal democrat population. The cities you mentioned also lead in the cases of STD’s. Something is seriously wrong with democrats, they’ve been riding on the backs of the poor for over 80 years and now they can no longer control them. We are expanding our almost new jail and it will be filled with democrats in short order. I can tell that you are angry, the truth tends to upset liberals when it normally sets most people free.

    • Just helps prove what most people knew, most people in jail, prison, probation, are democrats. When you look at the current gaggle of democrat politicians you start to realize how close we are to becoming a 3rd world country.
