Killedelphia lost their title?

Last year's crime leader, St. Louis, fell to No. 2. Another Michigan city, Flint, ranked third, followed by Oakland Calif.; Camden, N.J.; Birmingham, Ala.; North Charleston, S.C.; Memphis, Tenn.; Richmond, Calif.; and Cleveland.


Go camden, woo! :D

I think camden was the worst place to live in for 2 years in a row. Yet it has such a nice aquarium. Only in new jersey ;)

and we in St. Louis thank you. The local press has ignored this, since Mayor Slay is no Rudi. Saw one article that said the City's local St. Louis PR firm tried to strong-arm the publisher into dropping St. Louis out of the study completely. I love the politicos that treat the symptom.

Oh yea, the FBI statistics are the source for the rankings. If the locals just don't report the crimes, that means they never happened.

Orlando scored pretty high this year! wooHooo!! At least we are good at something.... ;)

Sadly for us, it's the politicians committing the crimes in D.C. :(

Hey we have our share of that here in Florida too!!!

You stole the title from us,although we are over last years total already for murder. Today the Gub'ner raised our taxes, 2 dollars on smokes, 8.2 on companies,6% sales tax, crap if he makes a fart tax I'll go broke. Time to cook a pig. Tom

Oakland and Richmond are in the same area code too. I think they're up there because they're within shooting distance of each other.:argue:

[Dragcity]

And Buffalo, New York is ranked 24. I think that is where our football team is going to finish also...

and we in St. Louis thank you.

"Detroit got a score of 407, while St. Louis followed at 406." That certainly is not a glowing recommendation for cheering in St. Louis. Let's call it a TIE !!! :rolleyes:

Washington, DC will hereafter be known as the "District of Corruption". What a joke. They are not qualified to run a Cub Scout Den; but they want to be a State. Maybe State of Confusion is an appropriate name.

The most recent scandal in DC is 5 folks skimming "Tax Refunds" in the Department of Taxation over 7 years totaling some $31.7 Million. Not bad work if you can get it. One of the phony companies set up to receive the bogus tax refunds was called "Bilkmore, Inc." Yet no one suspected a thing. :rolleyes: Their crime stats aren't anything to cheer about either.
