Make North County it's own city and St. Louis would be pretty safe.

More accurately: the NYPD went 24 hours without a homicide or gun related incident having been reported for the first time in 25 years
tinydragonfarts
So why why arent were hearing about this like they plaster mass shootings on our screens?

>Headlines about a thing. "WHY AREN'T MSM REPORTING IT!?!?!" Jesus, you're a fucking spastic.

There might be a murder that happened in the weekend but yet to be discovered

Sorry, guys. I had to go antiquing. I'll make up for it this weekend.

Oooh, exciting! A weekend of furniture oiling, murdering, with a bit of picture cropping thrown in to top it all off! Too fun.
R3AV3R
This is media for you, gun crime and homicide have been on the decline for the last 25 years. We're so plugged in we feel every crime we see
plainoldfool
That and NYC has been ranked as one of the safest big cities in the nation for quiet a while.
R3AV3R
Interesting I didn't know that. I'm rather surprised to be honest.

I can’t help but feel like Trump will find a way to congratulate himself for this
DIINKELBERG
I didn't want to say that.... so thank you

And people like you will somehow make the conversation about Trump when it has nothing to do with him...
ChunkFromTheGoonies
I’d like to point out there are many irrelevant comments on Imgur, but since it involved Trump, it defaulted to your negative connotation

ACTUALLY if you google it Chicago just went 5 days and 8 hours w/o a SHOOTING or Homicide. And it was a HIGE deal/record here.
DrinkSlurm
Chicago has a publicity problem more than a gun problem as far as the average citizen is concerned.
tumppu
I'd say they have both. They impact different areas of the city though.
BunnyGoesHopHop
Chicago's little brother Rockford in the past 7 days has had 2 shootings with 2 deaths, and a body pulled from the river. Oh boy.

Gary, the dangerous part that is in Indiana, managed to that for an entire month. All it took was an average temperature of -30F.

grammarfairy
Fun fact, with per capita shootings, Chicago is only 25th. Turns out a huge fucking town has more total shootings.
newsguycraigevans
Chicago being an ultra dangerous city is a right wing stereotype invoked whenever discussing gun control.
dwilson0725
Canton Ohio is one of the worst in the nation for violent crimes. You can open carry, take an 8 hour CCW class, and buy a gun in 5 minutes.
sinbinrugger
Even with a CC permit it is illegal to carry in the city limits of Chicago. Still takes 3 months to buy your first firearm
Azhdaha
But only a short drive to Indiana where you can get a firearm in no time flat.
AdamThomas
Go Wilmington!
DuckTalesOohWooOoh
Semi related: my hometown has a higher rape/capita than a lot of big cities. Why? Because we had one rape and a really small population.
PatrickDahm
Same principle with drug trafficking in my small town, complete with regular visits from the DEA
Snaggley
Also there are nice areas as well. A smaller city that is all bad will have more shootings/capita than a huge city with nice and bad areas.
MTsumi
Per capita statistics are bullshit.
Snaggley
I’m sure If you just look at the south side that ranking will be a lot closer to the top.
grammarfairy
And for the record, there are no cities that are all bad.
DrYoloMcSwagmasterIIIEsq
Phoenix, just for the heat
grammarfairy
But only the worst parts of the city being compared to the entirety of other cities is disingenuous and flat out incorrect.
Locke108
That is still so sad to read and be proud of.
StephenDaniels
There was 10 times as many murders in 1990.
CigaretteMan
Not at all. New York is a huge city, and one of the safest major cities in the US. This is the population equivalent of the bottom (1)
CigaretteMan
10 to 11 states going a weekend without a murder. In terms of US homicide rates, that is pretty excellent. (2)
Isaypoopythingsbecausemostofyouannoyme
I live near Canada and they were deeply upset about their 10th murder this year in a city I can’t remember the name of.

That's probably the most vague thing I've ever read.

SuperPickle17

storebrandproductmascot
NYC murder rate down 90% since 25 years ago, seeing numbers they haven't seen since the 1940s, it's pretty encouraging.
BklynPunisher
Down 90% since 25 yrs ago, but the population most definitely tripled or quadrupled in those 25 yrs.
ZerZer
New York City population in 1993: 7.3 million. New York City population in 2018: 8.6 million.
relicen
Dunno if that's for the exact same area, but could certainly be true. Apartments are larger, with fewer occupants, than they used to be.
ZerZer
It certainly did not double, triple, quadruple.
Neptuner82
I think the sheer number of people living in the area makes it considerably less sad.
JHawke
Dunno, at half the inhabitants of the Netherlands which has 160ish murders as a record...compared to the past record of 110...
eggmuffin
Population density is a vital variable for these stats. A mega city is a different beast from a nationstate.
andthedicestoppedrolling
I'd say population density would be more important but fair point
thunder2132
488/km2 for Netherlands vs 10,425/km2 for NYC.
WeaponizedJerk
The Netherlands is one of the most dense country in the world, population wise.
eggmuffin
Yes. Are you implying that it is as densely populated as NYC? Or are you just creating noise? What point are you making?
FetaForMoses
Netherlands population is pretty dense though
thunder2132
488/km2 for Netherlands vs 10,425/km2 for NYC. Not even close.
cccfudge10
It's the size of a country vs the size of a city (or state idk which they're talking about but still), it's irrelevant
