Same with Chicago and Philadelphia. The difference is that DC can and does brush it under the rug, whereas Philadelphia and especially Chicago have these exaggerated reputations about crime and murder.
And Philly nor Chicago do not have jack on Baltimore! Idk when someone will throw up the updated list, but you can bet BMore will be 3rd right behind Shreveport and St Louis.
Mass shooting an anomaly in the US? If anything, they are getting more and more common (in certain part of the country at least)... It is like the US (minor the northeast aka Boston to DC) can not get like 6 months without a mass shooting nowadays

I think he meant in Virgina City this year not nationwide. I seen it somewhere on here that someone posted a graph of mass shootings over time and it's frequency is actually down compared to of course 90s.

I think it's pretty clear I was talking about Virginia Beach...
Yeah so far there has been 12 confirmed killed, the shooter makes 13 total dead...
So as it stands Virginia Beach just shot up to 21 murders for the year, rate of 4.67. Obviously the mass shooting is an anomaly but as previously mentioned, the city has already been on a pace to get to the low 20s this year. The mass shooting combined with the fact shootings and killings have been up in general this year, make Virginia Beach a real threat to break 1991's record 29 homicides. At this point I would say that almost assured of being matched or broken, given there are 7 months left in the year, and even prior to the mass shootings, there were already 9 in the first five months of 2019...
Typo here too, VB's record homicide count was in 1993, record count of 33, record rate of roughly 8.1 per 100k...
Pending on whether an incident(happened in three different locations within 2 miles radius) that occurred Thursday counts as a double homicide if one of the victims involved died of a car crash due to people from cars shooting at each other. Also, not sure whether or not in another incident that happened a week prior concerning a hit-and-run incident counts as nonnegilent manslaughter/murder.

And does anyone have info on the following cities:
Same with Chicago and Philadelphia. The difference is that DC can and does brush it under the rug, whereas Philadelphia and especially Chicago have these exaggerated reputations about crime and murder.
I don't know why people say things like this. Chicago's reputation isn't exaggerated. The worst neighborhoods such as Englewood, Garfield Park, North Lawndale, etc. are extremely violent and as bad as anywhere in the U.S. The violence is isolated to so few areas that the total rate appears to be overblown in contrast to the huge swaths of the city that aren't very violent but these breakdowns have been performed again and again. I can't remember the exact statistics but basically the areas that account for the majority of the murders would be something like a population of 300,000-400,000 with 500 or more homicides or something similar to this.
In addition Chicago gang culture controls/influences crime in most major Midwestern cities along with having a major presence in southern states like North Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi and Tennessee. New York and L.A. both have Latin Kings, G.D.'s and Black P Stones.
No other city's gangs have ever infiltrated or had any influence on Chicago what-so-ever while G.D's, B.D.'s, Vice Lords, Black P. Stones, Latin Kings and 4 Corner Hustlers have spread throughout the country's largest cities and prison systems.
So when Chicago is at the forefront of so much nationwide criminal influence and it's neighborhoods are among the most violent in the nation how could it ever be exaggerated?
