No. Your slow... You keep missing my point. Im trying to explain to all of you that Cleveland is worse and more ghetto than Columbus no matter how you look at it.

Yeah lol, Ill admit that I missed you point though, and when i wrote that it was late and i forgot what i was talking about. That has happened to me a couple times, but I understand what your saying.

Going back to the first page, the reason there is more murders in Cleveland now is because partly due to the less amount of cocaine on the streets. Even though CPD is not the best police around, they've managed to cut some of the cocaine traffic around the city, so now the gangs are fighting over whats remaining. Its also a reason why many people are now turning to Meth. that and its cheaper.

Yeah the CPD and the Highway Patrols have stopped hundreds of Kilos of Cocaine from getting to the streets of Cleveland and other North East Ohio cities. Thats the main reason why all the gangs on the Eastside were fighting and killing eachother more than usual. The Eastside around Superior and St. Clair and other areas was like a warzone for a while there with shootings a couple times a day. Now it has quited down a little bit but its still bad over there.

in cleveland the homicide is now 100. this is of 3:15 monday morning

The murder rate is 100!?! Wow, just this past Friday is was like 94 or something. I think about 4-6 people were killed between Friday and today. That is so sad.

Yeah crime is getting real bad in Cleveland,but I don't like how its made up to be like a warzone in Cleveland.Yeah crime is as bad as its ever been in Cleveland,but its bad everywhere.The same stuff is going on in Newark,Philly,Baltimore,Detroit,ect.But yeah that is really really bad when a city of Cleveland's size is already at 100 homicides with 3 1/2 months to go.Only positive is that rapes and robberies are down this year.

[Cle440]

Wow...Cleveland is even worse then I thought again. On September 5th there were 93 homicides, so in 6 days there was 7 more homicides...wow, thats just sad... Well theres no turning back this year lets just hope theres not that many more murders. Cleveland is basically guaranteed a spot in the top 5 most dangerous cities in America and last year it was 7th. Where did it say Cleveland had 100 homicides so far?

Let's add some more to the list. It is so terrible and unfortunate, but can we really be surprised about the school shooting today? When these thugs have adult brothers, dads, whomever who are shooting people up too? Unreal. People cannot deny any longer Cleveland has gotten out of control. Yes it's a big city...but its relatively small size compared to others (33rd largest) makes it ridiculous the number of homicides. This is like 111 or something.

Hello all,

I think one of the reasons the crime has increased in Cleveland so much, is look at how much fame and publicity the city of cleveland is getting now. The Cavs are doing good the Indians are doing good. Alot of people know about cleveland now. People in Cleveland really dont know what to do with themselves now they know people are watching they know people come from all over to visit and all of that. I think it is a shame that the city has to be like that me being from Akron, OH a very short distance from Cleveland, The city has not always been like that i mean i remember being able to walk down the streets and not worry about anyone grabbing you or whatever. Anyways i am just telling where i think some of the drastic changes came from.
