    Below are the cities with the top murder rates per 1,000 people with East St Louis coming in at 1 with .86 murders per. How the rankings were achieved can be found in the second link below.

    With that said, I can honestly say I'm surprised that 29 or the top 30 most deadly cities in America are led by democrats, but I probably shouldn't be. What I'm curious about is why these democrat cities are as bad as they are; is it because they're soft on crime, soft on personal defense, magnets for low life people, or what? The author claims these are all sanctuary cities, again, I'm surprised but probably shouldn't be. But being sanctuary cities, this statistic alone should be all one needs to do away with federal funding of any city that gives itself sanctuary status.

    Not a perfect fit but a decent correlation:

    Ten Cities of 100,000 or More with Highest Percentage of Blacks or African Americans, 2000 and 2010
    City 2000 % City 2010 %
    Gary, Ind. 84.0 Detroit, Mich. 82.7
    Detroit, Mich. 81.6 Jackson, Miss. 79.4
    Birmingham, Ala. 73.5 Miami Gardens, Fla. 76.3
    Jackson, Miss. 70.6 Birmingham, Ala. 73.4
    New Orleans, La. 67.0 Baltimore, Md. 63.7
    Baltimore, Md. 64.3 Memphis, Tenn. 63.3
    Atlanta, Ga. 61.4 New Orleans, La. 60.2
    Memphis, Tenn. 61.4 Flint, Mich. 56.6
    Washington, DC 60.0 Montgomery, Ala. 56.6
    Richmond, Va. 57.2 Savannah, Ga. 55.4

    A quick analysis of them show high minority population's with Blacks often represented in large numbers if not the majority. There are a couple of exceptions. The majority of them are also declining cities with a general decrease in population. However, some of them are quite small, where a single murder can skew the data in relationship to a larger city. Then there is the 800lb gorilla you don't see and that is in large cities like Indianapolis, virtually all of the violent crime comes from just a few zip codes that are African American predominant. Still the voting trend towards predominately Democratic should tell you something. For an adequate statistical analysis you really have to trend among cities of the same size. It's a reason I like to use Chicago as an example. It's big and for practical purposes the demographic can be divided into thirds.

    The obvious is...well...obvious, but, you see, Dem's don't really approach the obvious the way rational thinking folks do. In their way of thinking, it's not the fault of their progressive policy, oh no, it's the NRA's fault, the fault of lax gun control (oh wait, these are "D" cities), the fault of gun manufacturors & the fault of our 2nd amendment Constitutional right.
    You could show this list on Sunday during the NFL games a 100 times (lol...yea, like the networks would allow that) & the gun control nuts would react just like I stated. Obama would too. They're afixed on disarming American citizens & NOTHING short of defeating them in a big way will slow them down.

    A better correlation would be to check out the faithlessness rate in those cities. I bet you that the rate of single parents in any of those cities is off the charts.

    All cities with high black and brown populations, with Democrat controlled governance. This should come as a surprise to no one.

    I sure would have thought that Memphis and Chicago would have been on this list.

    Hope everyone keeps in mind that should a SHTF event happen in any of these cities, or nationwide for that matter, that the rats wouldn't 'go down with the ship'.

    What is shameful is that the whole world can see that America has some awful violent cities.

    If they were just counting total murders then those cities would be on the list. But as the second link I posted states, this is the murder rate per 1,000 people, so cities with large populations essentially have their murder statistics buried. The article also states that the murder rates in the above cities would put you at the most risk of being murdered.

    Wait, so cities run by democrats, with high percentages of blacks, commit the most murders? This can't be true. The statistics are racist.

    What's even more sad is that the media doesn't have the balls to portray this because it would ruin their political agenda.

    Not really the whole cities in many cases. For instance in Phoenix Az. the violent crime can be traced to 3 or 4 neighborhoods in most cases. And to one of the browner races that predominately infest those neighborhoods. You don't live south of Baseline do you? Violent cities is what some propagandists such as your self like to sell to the world. The truth is We have a welfare system that coddle illegal immigrant criminals and lazy breeding for profit professional victims that have done due diligence to completely overrun some American cities thanks to bleeding heart Democrat propagandists like you that empower them.

    When you look at the list over time you'll find that some cities have chronic problems with crime and it doesn't matter whether it's a Democrat or Republican at the helm at city hall. If you look at the safest cities in the US you'll find the same thing - they are generally safe over time regardless of who the Mayor is.

    It's absolutely amazing that all of those cities run by an elected Dem apparently do what Republicans and the NRA have continually telling them to do (buy more guns) and they end up with a much higher murder rate. Go figure. [​IMG]

    Illegals and fatherless children under the legal age for handgun purchase are most often the murders both being championed by the POTUS and all Dems. The Dem policy of letting in any illegal immigrant is certainly not at fault huh? Nor is fostering a professional victim class of the blacks like the Dems personal Palestinians. The Dems figured out how to arm the illegals with Fast & Furious. But now the Dems want to stop legal purchases by citizens that believe guns are for self defense. What part of absurd do you not understand?

    Yeah except there is no correlation between gun ownership and murder rate.

    Before you scream "poverty", there's a negative correlation between poverty and murder.

    Everything you need to understand murder in our cities, and how gun control and poverty have nothing to do with it, watch this:

    So the point of this thread is that cities don't elect a lot of republican mayors?
