I wonder if Canada has the same attitude towards our cities for crime as we do towards Mexico.
Montreal, Canada with 1.9 million people has had only 12 murders this year.
Toronto with 2.5 million people has only had 16 (by comparison, Chicago has had 140+).
Edmonton with 730,000 people has had only 5 homicides.
Canada probably looks at us and goes "Crap, 340 murders in Detroit!!!" and we likewise are going "Crap, 1,500 murders in Ciudad Juarez!!!"
lol I never thought of it that way...
Since Detroit & Edmonton have approximately the same population, you're about 70 times more likely to get murdered in Detroit than in Edmonton... yea they're probably thinking that lol
i didn't say any u.s. States were higher in per capita than new orleans. If you read the whole thread i had posted, i meant it in the context of mexican states.
And, when i created the topic of this thread, it was for currents stats for this year (2010).
The State of Durango, in Mexico, is being ravaged by violence there. As of 05/30, there have been 455 murders for the year so far (population 1.5 million).

Not sure the total count this year but there was one stabbing murder and a newspaper delivery guy shot in the neck (he survived) in North Lexington this weekend.

Oh jeez... sounds like innocent lives are just being taken in NYC. It was a tragedy to see the video of the guy dying in the street and not one person call for help.
Oh wow, what's going on there. I have constanly defended the city as being safe, seems like numbers are up all across teh board.
well not everywhere in new york is safe lol, and yea in the beginning of the year nyc was up almost 30 percent in murders, now we are up percent.
south manhattan(basically the city) had the biggest increase. the murder percent is up 800% with 9 murders as of 5/23 compared to 1 last year.
