What bubble have you been living in?
Prior to my participation in this macabre thread hardly any poster even displayed Jackson's homicide stats. This type of thread is generally clogged VASTLY with Chicago ( especially 2016/17) then Baltimore, St.Louis, New Orleans, Detroit, L.A
& NYC ( overly praised).
Take your disturbed complaint elsewhere
Wow. I don't know if you just neglected to mention Philadelphia or if actually is seen as safer than New York and LA. Must be pretty damn lucky to have a safer reputation than NY.
Boston, MA - 16 | 2.32 ... wow its starting to pick up.
That’s still ridiculously low. There’s no street action in Boston anymore. There’s cities half the size that have more homicides than Boston has non fatal shootings so far this year.
There is no murder threat in the streets in Boston and never will be again the cops own the hoods there and the real gangstas who are left that are not in jail or dead simply don’t bang out anymore. Only homicides Boston gets is rouge ones. The city will go a month without a homicide it’s crazy. Until Boston sees over a 100 again like the 90’s I don’t want to hear the public officials saying there is a gun violence problem because there’s not anymore. Shootings that do happen are typical city events in every city and when Boston is well below average it’s over doing it to say stop the violence they should be praising they don’t have the problems of other cities.
Btw I’ve been following Boston for about 15 years and it always seems the homicide numbers arnt fully reported there seems to be 20+ a year that are not counted

No i didn't forget Philly just wanted to keep the rant short.

Yeah the thing Boston mayor Walsh says is "One homicide is too many". That slogan will certainly keep murders down. So basically, everytime there's a homicide, there's a gun violence problem.
Shooting in Lynnhaven was Virginia Beach's 9th homicide of the year, rate at exactly 2 per 100k right now...
Virginia Beach is currently on pace for ~22-23, which significantly outpaces its average of around 17 annually. Also, Virginia Beach has only had 22 murders twice in the last 30 years, so that figure would be considered high for the city...
The other interesting part of this is that we're nearly in June and The Beach has more murders than Norfolk. I don't know when, if ever, that has been the case in late May of any year. Norfolk still has the slightly higher rate (2.45), but has recorded just 6 homicides this year. That puts Norfolk on pace to finish with about 15 murders this year. That would be an unprecedented low mark in Norfolk, which typically averages ~33/year and hasnt had fewer than 27 murders in year in at least 30 years (as far back as I could research). The track this year is well below that 27 homicide mark; murders would have to increase pretty significantly in the final 7 months of this year just to reach 27...
Given Norfolk's history, even 5 months into the year, it still seems kinda unbelievable for Norfolk to finish with fewer murders than 27 and/or fewer than VB, but we'll see...
1,000 homicides in kinda low for a city of 7-8 million...
That's like Chicago avg 500 plus murders for a city of 3 million... And I don't think NYC seen 500 bodies since the mid 2000's
NYC at it's deadliest was in the early 90's when it hit over 2,000 + homicides for the first time ever.
To rank NYC properly,you would have to pull up the historical homicides for each borough and that'll give you a better idea of how the era was.
NYC was at it's "deadliest " during 69-95. Period.
