Random people sizing you up at a gas station? Chicago and Boston.

I'd say not New York. But then again, I'm sure some New Yorker size up those who are CLEARLY out of touch with the latest fashion.

Philly, NYC, Chicago and Boston are the front-runners. I don't think I could live in the blue collar areas of any of those cities anymore or I'd get myself into trouble whether I wanted to or not....just the way I am.

Then what do they do, call the fashion police?

But seriously, I think most major cities have areas that you'd prefer not to purchase gas in. None really "jump out" to me. I guess I've never really given it any thought.

Houston is known to get gangsta at times. Especially right after the Katrina evacuees from New Orleans arrived here. Houston gangs & New Orleans gangs fighting & killing each other made the city a blood bath for awhile. It has calmed down back to normal since then.

Saginaw, Michigan and St. Louis, Missouri look to have high assault rates. As do Bossier City, Detroit, Flint, and Memphis.

Alcohol is sometimes related to fighting. Bridgeport, Connecticut looks to be in a fairly "drinking" county and has a fairly high rate of assault.

I'd nominate NYC. Everyone acting the tough guy. I notice in other places people are more chilled. But in NYC? Na. I guess people are more stressed out and therefore act out negatively.

Since when did "fighting" include shooting? What kind of fights are we talking about here?
