However, there are usually a couple homicides per year out there, and at least a few stabbings a year that probably involved a bottle of tequila and a love note from Lupe. But that's up for speculatiuon...

Monroe County Sherriff's Office - Crime Reports

Crime Report Index

there are like couple homicides in all of Monroe county a year which is seems pretty low

honestly a few stabbings a year, in most cities there are stabbings every week. That don't even make the news. Keynoter has something every time 2 drunks get in shoving match.

all in all I would say there is next no violent crime and I don't think anyone should feel worried walking around stock island at night, then any other small city in the US

That's ridiculous. There are people who get busted with dozens or hundreds of individually wrapped baggies of crack cocaine on Stock Island on a monthly or bi-monthly basis. And those are the ones who get caught. Stock Island and much of Key West (the lower income parts) are huge drug colonies if you want me to say it like it is.

There may be only two or three homicides per year in the keys, but at least one of them always seems to be on Stock Island. Homicides set aside, the Stock Island yearly "gunshot wound" category would be in the high single digits on average since 2001, maybe creeping into thte double didgit category. A lot of people get shot out there by hoodlums with poor aim.

That's just bad, misguided advice, given to people in reprisal just to satisfy you brush fire war with me.

[deep-blue-water]

you are describing crimes that happen EVERYDAY in normal cities but don't even make the news

whereas down here every little crime goes in the paper

the average "bad" section of a small city on the mainland, is so much worse then stock island, I can't even believe someone is fearful of the trailer parks
