lol I guess its not really funny but its only stating the obvious, gun laws hurt the law abiding citizen, not the criminal. On another note, I'm not surprised St. Louis is on the top. Everyone thinks of the St. Louis Arch but they don't realize the Arch is at the heart of a small, modern and somewhat safe area. Everything else around it is just miles and miles of gangland. Balitmore is another one thats no surprise as its just like St. Louis. The harbor area is all nice but if you go just a mile out you'll find urban decay at its worst. Miles upon miles of burnt out crack houses and gang turf. There's a reason they have elevated highways which go directly to the harbor and directly back out. |

Camden dropped, it used to be 1st I think. I've seen statistics that an 18 year old male has a better chance of dying in Camden than if they were stationed in IRAQ (maybe not this month Hmmmm, Cause everyone there carries. They even have gun safes at the front door of the workplaces. You check your guns in there when you arrive at work for the day. Shweet! |
Well to be fair, I think it didn't DROP, it just didn't go up as much as the top 4

Urban blight at it's best.
