Nah, Chesapeake still is very safe, nothing like the News. Lol...

Chesapeake had a quintuple homicide in January, a guy slaughtered his family. That aside, it really only has one....

Newport News is still Newport News....Hampton is actually at 4 as of yesterday afternoon, that city's murder rate has risen in this decade. When I was growing up in the 2000s, Hampton routinely had single digit totals, but it's in the teens/double digits every year this decade...

Yeah, if I saw that 0.0026% of the population was murdered, I would probably want to look at the statistics and circumstances of those murders before freaking out that the world was ending and everyone was getting slaughtered on the streets.

Well, that sucks. It does explain the numbers though.

Well, geographically Austin is a Texas city but culturally speaking, Austin is a Californian city surrounded by Texas

Agreed


First of all their are dozens of Californian cities more dangerous than Houston and Dallas. Second of Austin was the second or third large city in Texas after El Paso and San Antonio, to say that Austin is Californian is to deny the centuries of Texan history that occurred their, How can the capital of a state not belong in the state? It is like saying Atlanta isn't Georgian because it is extremely different from the rest of the state. Austin culture is Texan. Their is no major city in Texas that isn't Texan seeing as without Austin or San Antonio Texas wouldn't simply be Texas.


Austin sprawls like the rest of Texas, and is the epicenter (Only San Antonio is greater) of Texas history. Go to the center of Austin and it bleeds Texas history, down to the Capital building.

Because there is absolutely no such thing as a liberal or progressive Texan.
