Yeah being that Baltimore is in DCs back yard one would think there would be more programs in place to curb the violence.
Baltimore is out of control. It's a literal fuc&ing warzone. I bet some stupid teenagers who think Chicago's the bloodiest city in the milky way galaxy would laugh at that, but out of all US cities over maybe 200,000 people, only St Louis has a higher murder rate. It's pretty evenly tied with Philly for murders for the last few months, and Philly is 2.7 times larger.

I remember maybe 7 or 8 years ago when I was heavy into online games and this particular person who claimed he was from Miami wanted to just talk trash to me about how Chicago isn’t the “murder capital” (which it isnt) and how Miami is wayyy more hood than Chicago and blah blah blah. Personally Ive never claimed to be “hood” I just happen to live near one, but I just don’t understand the fascination with the loss of life however it may happen. The glorification of death, murder, and mayhem is crazy to me.

I once knew someone from Detroit who was proud of the fact that his city is violent. He said it meant that people there aren't a bunch of (p-word)s.
Pittsburgh is now at 21. An off-duty city police officer just passed away today after being shot multiple times in the back while trying to break up a fight in our dangerous Homewood neighborhood over the weekend.
We're now at a rate of 6.98/100,000 using our 2018 estimated population of 301,048.
I'm pretty sure he was being facetious. Thanks to Noids' post, we can see California had the 22nd lowest homicide rate in 2017, so a little better than average. California does really well in the overall firearms death rate, which in addition to homicides includes accidents and suicides. California has the 7th lowest firearm death rate of all states. Posts about gun laws probably belong in the politics forum.
Yeah, the map shown makes California look dangerous, when in reality it's the safest state in the whole United States, which is why they would argue that strict gun control laws work there.
Kind of wrong, California does has one of the lowest gun death in the States but not the safest states, it should be one of the new England states.
And by gun death they include homicides / murders, accident and suicide

He's trying to gain street cred from name-dropping the worst hoods in Miami, knowing good and well he probably isn't from any of the hoods in Miami.

There are a lot of mentally ill people in much of these crime ridden neighborhoods and are self medicating without any professional help; a good chunk of these folks committing crimes are sociopaths.
So far in 2019 Chicago has less than 9% success rate in solving homicides so I’m willing to bet there are a lot of repeat offenders, hell let’s just call them serial killers. I personally knew an individual who was responsible for 6 murders on Chicago’s west side and he was later convicted of his 7th. He was a fairly young man too maybe 24 years of age, but his situation got me to thinking about possibilities of other killers that roam these neighborhoods without consequence. I’m sure people from DC remember Wayne Perry, he was responsible for scores of murders throughout the area; in many neighborhoods there are Wayne Perry’s just roaming around waiting on the next opportunity to kill.
A recent robbery led to an 63 yo man being shot to death & a death investigation from April is cleared as a homicide.
