Re: 25 Most Dangerous Cities in the USA

Yeah.....except exiting Newark Airport last year after going to Cali with the wife....I got a flat tire and had to get off the Turnpike to change it.
It was night...

I've worked in and been to some of the nastiest places in N.Y.C. "The Bush"(Bushwick....Bed Stuy(before it became yuppy heaven) and others.
I'm not ashamed to say...I was hammering away in my chest as changed the tire. I told my wife...if anyone comes near or something happens...drive right off the jack and just keep going.
Two police officers rolled up and just waited for me to finish...then escorted us back to the highway. They were kind of joking about how lucky we were and we should have just rode on the rim.

Newark East Orange and Patterson blow.(sorry for anyone in those areas...not trying to be rude)

I know those places are bad, but I still don't think they come close to Flint and Detroit.

Camden has a higher violent crime rate, a higher murder rate, and a higher rape rate than both Detroit and Flint.

But you're right on Newark, it doesn't come close to any of the other three cities.

Chicago is actually a safe city.

Chicago is actually a safe city.

It is safe downtown and on the north side. West and south side, when it is above 40 degrees outside, hell no.

We stopped at a gas station right by US Cellular because I overshot RT 90. I think that's what happened anyway. Its been a few years. But yeah, it was scary. Luckily there were some cops just hanging around the area. One helped me get back on the Highway.

Not sure that's the most accurate thing to say, considering what's happened there over the last little while.

I'm suprised New Orleans isn't on there.

I'm interested on what Anchorages rape/sexual assault rate is.

Gun Wavin' New Haven.

The wealthiest state in the country has two of the Top 14 most dangerous cities in the nation. No surprise though, amazing that Bridgeport isn't in there too.

Welcome to Cleveland: We won't kill you like they will in Detroit, but we'll sure as hell rob you blind!

This is so true.

I can't tell you how many times I've made the mistake of driving through East Cleveland and I see dudes stealing copper wire.

Lots of Midwest cities on there which proves the fact that the Midwest is crazy! Atlanta on the list but not Chicago?

I am actually surprised Kansas City is not ranked higher than what it is. With the way local media is here they sometimes make it sound like we are always in the top 3.

It's so funny that you mention that, as here in my neighborhood (Cleveland/Lakewood border area right by the lake) we had a guy breaking into homes and stealing all of the copper pipes out of basements. No lie, this guy didn't steal any TVs, stereos, jewelry, nothing but copper pipes. The houses in my neighborhood are all older (1890s-1930s) and have LOT of copper pipes in the basements. Long story short, this guy hit at least two dozen homes in a 3 month span before they caught him. Turned out it was just a crackhead.

I think if you live near a big metro area, the media just over does it on how bad the crime is. When I lived in Kentucky, they always talked about how bad crime was in Louisville, like you were gonna just get murdered walking to the Louisville slugger museum. Most of the bad crime happened in West Louisville.
