NOT ANYMORE!

And "DO NOT"! believe a single lying word from it's long, very long time, grossly underestimated and overrated Mayor Jerry Abramson about how Louisville is a good place to live. Violence is way out-of-control and it's infested like never before in it's history. I bet the Civil War was never this bad as it's become now. Yep, i grew up there, worked there, and as recently as 1998 (10 years ago), it had reached a point of hostility never before experienced in it's former rich history.

I have a personal stake in Louisville as a long time native and WAS my home for most my life untill the dark evil of violence invaded it and have even overwhelmed all the local authorities, and now exact only a heavy toll of killing for years.

How do i know? Because i been monitoring it's news cast daily for 5 years now safely tucked away miles from this human demolition.

So if you value your life and safety at all and don't wish to be a part of this new heritage statistics, stay away from Louisville Ky as a place to live as though a Nuclear Radiation Fallout had impacted it, because it's violence is just as lethal and the danger is very real and not likely for many generations to recover what it's been shaped into now, if ever.

So sad, but so real. Portland was my neighborhood (home), a good and decent area for years where even walking at night was FUN and enjoyable to drum up conversation with neighbors at any time all night long.

Now you couldn't pay me enough to even drive in the daylight there unless escorted by the Military Police or National Guard. The savages have fully taken control, and they intend to keep it as a legacy to their own ruinous heritage.

Judgement is already begun and will continue too. LoL

Are you serious? This post is insane when you compare violence here to a nuclear fallout. Are you an Evansville person jealous of the "big city"?

So, tell me, will you get mugged or murdered downtown like in Memphis or St. Louis? I am hearing 2 sides to the story.
We were considering relocating here but now are not sure.

They were out because it IS safe. I live in downtown Louisville and will offer you a personal tour. The poster from evansville I suppose is jealous of the city, so as said, I would ignore his biased opinion. But wait, he states he lives in Southwest Indiana, yet his IP address (and his computer) is in NEW JERSEY! So really, he is losing ALL credibility (if he had any at all).

With all due respect stx12499, your statements are grave in error as per my IP addy, i can confirm this 4 you at your request so easy, so i suggest a re-evalution of your IP Tracker for sure.

As for as Biased?

Where have you been? Certainly not in Louisville, and you can tell i have deep roots by simply reading my post of some of it's history, so sorry, false info demands i beg to differ on that opinion.

Anyone can read the newspaper OR TV Station reports on their respective websites, Channel Wdrb-41, Wlky-32, Wave-3, Whas-11, and confirm or dismiss as they wish.

Regards, and better to stay safe then to throw Freedom to the wolves.

You are entitled to your opinion. but making outrageous claims will make you look, well, silly. no one on this board will take you seriously when compare crime in one of americas safer cities to a nuclear fallout! Also, you lost more credibilty by claiming 'deep roots." Anyone can use google to name drop events and places in any city. the fact that you name drop that stuff makes me wonder what are your motives.

every city in america has crime on the news. the louisville news is more sensational, I will give you that. but you need to look at the facts my friend. louisville has one of the lowest violent crime rates in america for any city its size. Its a statistical fact, and you cant argue with facts. Now, if even that low rate makes you feel unsafe, then say so, but please dont compare Louisville to Afghanistan or a Nuclear Fallout!

Also, you ARE posting from NJ. My ip tracker is never wrong.

Joseph_2010, if the only way you are judging how much crime louisville has just by watching the news, you are an idiot. OF COURSE the news is going to cover crimes, because they are not the norm. If homicides and shootings, ect. were a normal part of life here, do you really think the news would report on them as much as they do now? NO. Have you even BEEN to louisville recently or are you just going off of your memory from 10+ years ago, which you may want to have checked becuase it seems like it has gone terribly bad, because there is NO WAY you can truthfully say Louisville has more crimes then Detroit, come on. If anyone believes this guy, i feel bad for you.

I know of either these gangs or cliques in these areas:

Cecil and greenwood
victory park crips
doom squad
the taliban
badd newz

also heard of market street crips, and groups around shepherd square and cdp areas, which supposedly representing bloods. Also heard of "portland original gangsters" and some gangs in newburg. What's the relation of these gangs?

I gather that doom squad is cool with vpc, and the taliban seems to be cool with bnc and cng. I don't know much about msc or cdp or ssq...someone claims there is ms-13 around, but i haven't heard anything else about that...

If someone wants to explain this, it would be helpful...i moved here last year, so i don't know alot about it yet.

There might be no one on here that even knows the answer to this! Hopefully there is though...

doomsquad is kool with vpc...acually they 2gether...taliban is not kool with cng or bnc! Taliban is kool with vvpc and doomsquad...cng and bnc are together
and bnc is badd newz clique

Are you speaking from experience?

[natewood3]

I don't know much about Taliban...I have heard the name, but haven't heard of anyone actually claiming that. I have watched MySpace vids of kids claiming Badd Newz and Doom Squad and Victory Park, but no Taliban. Are these sets independent or are they claiming Blood and Crip (obviously VP claims Crip)? I am just curious if these sets just started claiming Crip or Blood without being established by true Bloods or Crips...West coast gangs do not really see these type of gangs as real gangs. They claim they are just fake Bloods and Crips who are trying to imitate what they see happening on the West Coast. The East Coast gangs, like the Bloods, could have come from places like NY or NJ to establish themselves in this part of the country. I don't really understand why there is not any Vice Lords, Gangsta Disciples, Latin Kings, etc. from Chicago establishing themselves in Louisville and Lexington...it has already happened in places like Memphis.

I just thought it was interesting that there are less than 30 replies to this thread, but over 2,000 views...it seems like the couple threads on gangs/homicides/crime in Louisville get the most views from people. I think people are starting to be concerned about gangs in Louisville, as they should be...

[tigerlillydownunder]

I think in this day and age people should be aware, and concerned, about the direction their city/town/neighbourhood is taking. And being concerned is not the same as taking action. Most people don't know where to start, and so they do nothing, and hope someone else will do it, that it will go away.

Sadly, Louisville is not a crime free city. No place is crime free. With a human population, it's just impossible.

My personal feeling is that Louisville is very safe, when compared to LA, Chicago, Detroit, St Louis, Mephis, etc. It's not as safe when compared to oh I don't know, say, Mayberry or other small towns!

I believe that internet forums are a good start for research, but only a start. For one, you can't be 100% trusting of anybody on here, because you really have no idea who you are listening to. Two, you have to visit a city, and then you have to be in it a while (and a while for me is a minimum of a full year), sometimes longer. And three, everyone is different, so no two people are going to have identical opinions about anything; ultimately you must judge for yourself.

Also, people derive different feelings from situations. If Joseph feels that Louisville is on par with a nuclear fallout zone, that is his business and he is entitled to his opinion and to post it. I personally do not agree, but I am not Joseph and he obviously has a reason for stating his thoughts. Not defending or condemning, either way.

Personally, I feel very safe in my hometown when I am there--and I go any and everywhere. I have friends in almost every section of the city and suburbs. I am not afraid of Portland nor downtown, day or night. I am not afraid to go through Shepherds Square or Newburg or any other area. Where there an area that made me afraid, I simply would not go. it's that simple.

The key thing is to be aware of your surroundings; know the area you are going to (as in at least have solid directions, or a street map you can read if you are going to an area you aren't familiar with); and listen to your gut--if you feel uneasy or scared, leave that area. Chances are you will read everything into nothing and make yourself a nervous wreck and have an acident or something. I've heard of it happening.

And this advice is relevant ANYWHERE. It doesn't matter if it's Louisville, LA, Beijing, Sydney Australia.......as I said there is no place on earth that is crime free. It's just exercising a little bit of common sense.

Now in saying that, it's not fail proof--you can be aware and well studied on the area and your gut isn't speaking to you, and still get mugged or robbed or whatever. But I think being realistic can go a long long way. If you take precautions and preventative measures, you cut the odds considerably.

So please, I ask anyone considering Louisville to at least give it a look before you write it off. Never let someone else make up your own mind for you!

Cheers!
