Lock Your Doors in These Cities

November 25th, 2008

crime scene tape

Lock your doors in these cities. New Orleans tops the nation in crime problems, according to a new Congressional Quarterly report released on Monday. The results of CQ Press’s 15th annual crime city rankings reviews statistics on six different areas – murder, rape, burglary, robbery, aggravated assault and motor vehicle theft – for 300 American Cities. New Orleans replaces last year’s winner, Detroit, as the top most lawless city.  Camden reached the daunting slot of No. 2. Rounding out the rest of the top 10 were St. Louis, Oakland, Calif.; Flint, Mich., Gary, Ind., Birmingham, Ala., Richmond, Calif., and North Charleston, S.C.

I knew one of our cities in michigan would make the list but i was shock when i saw, flint and detroit. I am glad saginaw, michigan was not on the list even though i thought that we were worser than flint.

See, where Blacks are majority the crime is dominant.

I’m not surprised to see Detroit and there neighboring cousin Flint on the list. With the way the city has been running for years, It’s no wonder why it makes the list every year. If you really want to see crime increase in Detroit and the surrounding area, let Congress not grant the “Big Three” the money they need to survive. It won’t just affect Detroit it will affect the state.

This list is crazy, they definetly forgot about alot of diffrent inner cities like Chester,Philly,Baltimore,Newyork,Chicago,it should’ve been top 15 if u ask me.

CHICAGO has the highest crime period. They had it the newpaper not to long ago. And I remember when they was talking about it on 20/20. I have witness alot of stuff. englewood (southside), The WestSide, and of course the project.The Wells, Ickes, The Taylors, The PC’s, and Lawless just to name a few. We do a car show on the Westside by the Circle. So I do believe Chicago is #1,LongBeach #2, New York#3.

I think the problem is moral standards;we the black nation have lost, if we never has it.
Point two; Illegel immigrates come to the USA in have the same rights as American.

U THINK!!!!!!!!!!! NEVER DO YOU HEAR ABOUT THESE SMALL TRAILPARK TOWNS, I KNOW THEY’RE COMMITTING CRIMES THERE TOO! WE STILL HAVE RACIAL ISSUES IN AMERICA!



KeiKei Said on

yo i knew some of them places was bad but than again i thought there would be other places on there instead of some of them…… like i really wanted to move to STL for school and everything but than now i think about what i just read i feel as if i could find a better place…. but i dnt know…. than im suppose to be going to NO with my church for the conference now im having second thoughts…. but than again it depends on your point of view cuz i can really understand why there are so many problems in New Orlens alone since really after Hurricane Katrina it has and probably never be the same … but that does not mean what there doing is nessicarly right but hey i can’t judge them the only person that can rightfully do that is GOD.

Wuzam ya heard me i’ve been reading alot of ya’ll messages and I just wanna put it out there dat ima 24 year old N’awlin$ native with alotta street and book smarts I got both sides of da game.So 2 all ya’ll who sound like ya kinda upset dat u didn’t make da list please stop it.Ya boy not_yet had a real good point it’s just basic mathematics lil’woadie! And ya boy ROLL u must B a true N’awlin$ native like me born and raised bout it bout it ya dig. We are one if not da only city left with it’s own culture and they tried 2 take dat away from us with da conspiracy of Hurricane Katrina! My people have soulja mentalities because in our minds this is like a real war,and da streets is a battlefield anything goes ya heard me! Don’t forget every native from da N.O. is of Native American,African American, French,and Spanish descent. Oh yeah believe it or not its in us. All of these people at some point in time fought in and for N’awlin$. I’ve been shot with an AK-47,i’ve been stabbed i’ve been jumped in a fight but, thats not all i’ve graduated with a diploma from J.F.KHigh school, i’ve been to college trying to get a higher education. Inspite all of dat the lure of fast money in da Big Ea$y is why I went through alot of the things on da negative side. With dat being said but not proud 2 say I feel like i’m part of da reason my city made da list at #1.
