btw Church St. is a main thoroughfare. Yeah maybe wearing a bullet proof vest is an exagerration, but its closer to the truth than any other city in NC.
Rocky Mount makes Fayetteville look like childs play
I lived in Rocky Mount up until a few years ago. I still have a few friends there that are dying to get out of their once nice neighborhood. There were so many beautiful neighborhoods that have gone down the drain over the years, and its not just the crime aspect
A lot of the Nash area of Rocky Mount is dangerous and just a rat trap. The englewood area is beyond sad now. It was actually an upper-middle class area back in the 70s. People were envious of it.
Rocky Mount makes Fayetteville look like childs play
Actually, according C-D crime stats, RM and Fayetteville had virtually the same murder rate in 2009 (the latest year for which data is available for both cities).
The raw crime numbers from the FBI.

I think we know who the troll is.
You're sweet. Maybe you are new to this whole internet thing, but Rocky Mount had 16 murders last year, with 7 already this year with a current pop of 54-55k, Shootings numbering in the hundreds , but I can call the Rocky Mount police for you since they have a spot shooter system.
Because 80 percent of Rocky Mount isnt nice. Its a laughable statement. If you hung around the Winstead Ave area where the hotels are, you would think Rocky Mount was a decent area.
Its 2015 and we still have Rocky Mount apologists "For who the hell knows why" even when raw data can be presented to them. Interesting for sure.
