I wasn’t going to post anything tonight since I’m so tired from staying up all day watching football, but I have tons of stuff going on in my brain and need to get some of it out.
I read this story tonight. Detroit is now the most dangerous city in America. Taking the title away from St. Louis. Coincidentally both cities top my list of places not to visit, ever.
Funniest part of the story; Instead of being mad about the crime level in their cities and preventing it. They complain about it.
“What I take exception to is the use of these statistics and the damage they inflict on a number of these cities,” said Mayor Robert Duffy, chairman of the Criminal and Social Justice Committee for the U.S. Conference of Mayors.
The rankings “do groundless harm to many communities,” said Michael Tonry, president of the American Society of Criminology.
“They also work against a key goal of our society, which is a better understanding of crime-related issues by both scientists and the public,” Tonry said.
I’m not even really sure what he is trying to say. But I can tell you this; if your city is a complete piece of trash then it won’t be ranked high on this list. Clean up your town and people will WANT to live there. I know huh? Crazy Idea!
I read this article mostly to see how Minneapolis ranked on the list. Well after reading the whole thing I get to the bottom and see this nugget of knowledge.
The study excluded Chicago, Minneapolis, and other Illinois and Minnesota cities because of incomplete data.
Hmmm….People that don’t live in Chicago or Minneapolis probably don’t find this strange. But if you lived in these cities you would know something was up. Minneapolis, and St. Paul for that matter is FULL of scum bags that have moved up from Chicago. They move back and forth up the river and just cause trouble. I’m sure Minneapolis and Chicago would have ranked pretty high on that list of the data wasn’t “incomplete.”

No word of the day today…..I’m to lazy to find/think of one.

I sent you a pillow you were supposed to be napping
…memphis isn’t too far behind Detroit and St. Louie on the dangerous list… lucky me
Haha…
I’ll be napping in about 30 minutes…
All of those cites are garbage and I won’t step foot in any of them.
well i live in memphis so….
i saw that story on the news last night, and it made me mad that minneapolis wasn’t on the list at all…
This made no sense to me…
Incomplete data can’t be a good sign. The people trying to GET the data were probably murdered.
Cassie - Sounds like you’re lucky to be alive…Heh..
Lisa - Yeah, I’m sure Minneapolis would be up there…
Jimmy - I don’t see anything confusing about this….You drunk or something?…
Brock - I like the way you think man….They probably were…
I guess I don’t need to worry to much…we just have drunken cowboys. They’re not really smart enough to cause to big of a commotion.
Haha…
Yeah, drunk cowboys can’t do too much damage…
I’m surprised B-more wasn’t really high…like top 5. It’s bad here.
Yeah, I heard it’s not a very nice place…
Maybe it is just a sneaky way of not getting on the list.
I live 20 minutes from down town detroit and i’m actually suprised that it is the most dangerous after all the work they’ve done down there. they just built a new casino and they have some really great night life. besides, it’s awesome that you can go have a great meal, buy some drugs and guns, and set a house on fire, all within a one mile radius.
I’m lucky I live near D.C. Besides being the Murder Capital of the World, there’s virtually no crime.
The truth doesn’t matter, it’s alllll about perception. i.e. The only thing I know about St. Louis is that Axl Rose freaked out there. As far as I’m concerned, Detroit has allllways been the bottom of the barrel. However, since I am a badass and love KISS and Motley Crue, I am still down with Detroit. I just won’t be going anywhere alone, or having sex with anyone or leaning against anything.
what river? The river between Twin cities and Chicago? Nice geography, dude.
Evyl - It’s something…Pisses me off though…
Joebec - They are trying to make it better, but until they get the scum bags out it will stay shitty….That’s a fun time though…Fire, guns, drugs…
DT - Hahaha…I don’t even know what to say to that…
Green - The truth DOES matter…I like the way you look at things though….
Jake - The Mississipi you jackass….It doesn’t go though Chicago but it makes up IL’s western boarder and goes right through Minneapolis and St. Paul.
You said… “They move back and forth up the river” Ha! Yeah, you’re right. Has Chicago moved to the western half of Illinios? The mighty Mississippi is still 4+ hours away from Chicago. Nice try.
Relax. Just busting your balls.
I think it’s a Minneapolis/St. Paul thing….No matter where someone comes from we just say they followed the river up….
