I dont even think that what cuz was sayin in the first place but hey ......what they say in math class.....show your work!
Well off the top of my head...DC had a murder rate of 74 or something, South Bronx ranged from about 100 to about 127, depending on the neighborhoods that are included.
you wylin B. Only south bronx??? you know nothing about NYC. what about central harlem, east harlem, LES, edenwald in the bronx, Brownsville, ENY, Bed-stuy, Bushwick, east flatbush, Crown heights, South Jamaica, Far Rockaway, QB? All parts of NYC that where war zones in the 80s and 90s. get your facts right.
No, I really thought that the only hood in NYC was the South Bronx.
And I said the worst. The South Bronx was one of the worst the country had ever seen between the 70's and early 90's... the other ones, not so much. Currently ENY and Brownsville are the two worst in NYC but there are worse in the country.
hell, let's do math. if the bronx had just 1 million people in 1990 (which they probably had around 1.5 million but whatever), and say 600 of the 2,000 murders then that would give them a rate of 60 per 100,000. the big bad bx still had a lower rate than the whole washington dc let alone ne/se dc.

dc as a whole had a murder rate of like 80 per 100,000. ne/se dc had a murder rate of 200-250 per 100,000. you just said the south bronx ranged from 100-127.

I know, but that was in comparison to south Bronx VS all of DC. Someone ask me to prove that the S.BX would have higher murder rate than DC, and I did.
I told you that the East Tremont neighborhood in the Bronx had a murder rate of over 200.

east tremont/west farms had 137 "murders" in 1990. 87 of those were from the happy land fire.
how about this...does anybody have any personal accounts of things they saw and/or heard back in the early 90's in their cities? i'm sure the stories will be real interesting...
back in 97 when i was about when i was about six my oldest brother was shot twice, just because he wouldn't give some dude his shoes, so my brother fought the dude, and once the guy realized my brother was winning the fight he shot my brother once in the thigh, and the second one skimed his right shoulder.
My old in house east flathbush was broken into about seven different times thoughtout the 90s.
One of my friends died when i was only 8. He got shot walking home alone one night from the courts up the street. One of the saddest days of my life honestly. R.I.P. Clive Bennett (1990-1999)
Thats pretty much my horrible history of live in Brooklyn in the 90s. Thanks God it wasn't any worse then that. it really could have been.

True, but the guy who burned the place down did it with the intent to kill. It doesn't seem right that those 87 people who lost their lives be treated as if they never existed. But I can see your point, would have to put an asterisk or something.
[quote=CelticGermanicPride;18305995]no there weren't. we went over this a thousand times. when a city has 1/4 your cities murders with only 1/13th of your population, then the math is pretty basic. dc is a city 13 times smaller than nyc and had 1/4 the murders. and as far as i know, from past calculations, no neighborhood in nyc had a murder rate of 200 per 100,000 in 1990. ne/se dc had a murder rate easily over 200 per 100,000. there was basically someone getting killed every day with almost 500 murders. juarez murder rate, last i checked, was 130 per 100,000... and that's a city that has crime all over the city and not concentrated into one or two neighborhoods. so ne/se dc was more dangerous in 1991 than juarez is now.
if dc was nyc's population, statistically, dc would've had over 6,500 murders in 1991. if dc was nyc's population today, dc would've had about 1,800+ murders last year.
and to the fool who said i'm a fool for thinking dc is more dangerous than chicago in 2010, do the math. dc had a higher rate than chicago last year. math is easy.[/quote]
NO IT DIDNT. If math is so easy then do it yourself. DC Wasnt close to a lot of cities im 2010, as a matter of fact 2010 was DC's least violent year in a long time. DC WASNT NOT MORE VIOLENT THEN CHICAGO WAS. Im so sick of u saying the same thing " oh yeah here are 2 numbers do the math" and then when that works agasint you all of a sudden everyone else is wrong. At least the 90's argument had a few vaild points, the present day one is just absurd and untrue.
