Roch-a-Cha Rant: Violent Crime, In Perspective

[amgor863]

Northern migration does bring problems.

However, there is also downward migration of young people leaving upstate communities to seek their fame and fortune in the Big City (aka New York). A lot of these people are taking jobs, from lifelong downstaters. Like myself, who can't get a decent job.

Just a thought...It goes both ways, folks...

Oh. Articles that aren't relevant to what we are talking about.
I make mention that crime rates are lower than they are in past years and you keep posting sites (blogs of all things) that have nothing to do with the topic. You are really grasping at straws here.

This is worth repeating: the crime in Rochester is predictable and avoidable. These are specific types of people in specific neighborhoods getting killed.

I really wish every person from Buf/Roc/Syr could imagine what crime in Florida is like; they would never worry about crime in upstate cities again.

I suppose this snippet from the second link could not possibly be relevent...but keep talking to yourselves Rachacha....

"While similar to the violent crime rate, the murder rates for the full list of 254 cities with more than 100,000 in population does shift. Rochester, the great marksmen that we are, moves up a few notches to #22. America's most murderous big cities include all the familiar places with some fun exceptions. There were nine large places in the USA that did not register a single murder last year, including two "real" cities (i.e., not suburbs): Ann Arbor MI and Fort Collins CO. The following are lists of the Top 25 Most Murderous and Least Murderous cities in the USA."

You just don't get it do you?
I stated several times that crime rates were down from previous years. What does the babble you are posting have to do with crime rates not compared to crime rates from previous years??????

Garmin....how foolish of you...it shows that Rochester is "bad"...which is basically JiminCT's main point of posting anything relating to the area at all. I mean, didn't you know that Rochester was a bad place and that there is absolutely nothing good about it at all?

There is no indication that the crime got worse in Rochester or upstate NY since the 90's If you look at the numbers it is around the same. Its the media that is making it seem like it has gotten so bad and that is so different between The Suburb and the City. there is crime out in the burbs as well. There is nothing that really changed about the crime since the mafia had Rochester so people need to stop making a big deal out of it.

Albany was the 12 most dangerous small city last year
