Detroit named most violent city in America

I was a bit upset that New Orleans wasn't in the top 5 but I did feel better when I saw that Baton Rouge was #10 and New Orleans was # 11
take THAT Michigan

I wonder what the rate was in Baton Rouge before the influx following Katrina.

Also, wonder how this compares to Bagdad.
 
Ah, Detroit....what a beautiful city full of wonderful citizens.
 
Hell I knew that.
Lived there for 39 years and worked on the PD.

People in Detroit will kill you for looking at them wrong. Detroit is unfortunately the product of a failed government experiment, namely the "war on poverty".
Federally subsidized hybrid welfare zombies.

I call it any part within the city limits and some parts outside of the city limits. The mayor told us to get out if we don't like it. I took his advice and got the hell away from there. Now if I could only figure out how to run my company without every having to go back into Memphis. As it is now the one hour fifteen minute drive going home in the evening, and especially on Friday evening is SO relaxing. Especially after crossing the county line.
 
Damn, Phoenix didn't even make the top 15. I thought for sure bing the "Kidnapping capitol of the US" and being the source for all of the illegal guns in Mexico would have at least given us an honorable mention.
 
just what we need....someone to take more popshots at Detroit! I grew up in Detroit, and graduated from Denby High School. Our football team was either city or eastside champions of the PSL, and from our starting team in 1958, 08 won scholarships to major universities, one was all conference at Missouri, one All American at Michigan State, 3 started at MSU, one at Michigan, one at Arizonia State and 1 at Albion College. Of these men, two owned their own insurance companies, one was a high school principal, three are lawyers, one played for the chiefs in the superbowl and his son started at USC (Ed Budde - his son Brad Budde) and owns a beer distributorship in KC, two are doctors and I taught public school for 34 years. We got excellent educations in the public schools in the 1950's and 60's. It breaks my heart to see what has happened to a damn fine city. So, go ahead and take your shots! I'm damn proud to have grown up in Detroit, and I'd put my friends up agaist anyone, anywhere!

Oh, yah! Even our football coach was recruited and hired by Michigan State...Ed Rutherford. He was like a father to me, and I own him a debt I couldn't ever repay. He is the reason I went into teaching.
 
Detroit is such a joke! Too bad it manages to suck the rest of the state dry. I hope either one of the mayoral candidates can stand up to the city council and make some progress, at least a little bit.
 
We're #1! We're #1!

Marine, in the Detroit that you are extolling the virtues of, think about who the Mayor was (and I'll probably take some heat for pointing this out).

I was and always have been a guy from the 'burbs, and as a young 'un growing up I can still remember the name Jerry Cavanaugh. Then "progress" came along in the form of Coleman A. Young. Anyone remember when the big downward slide began?
 
I grew up in Detroit and regard it as hell on earth. I left Detroit because there was no place that was not an improvement. When helocopters fire machineguns into the city and armor prowls the streets, accompanied by paratroopers, it doesn't take long to figure out there are better places to live your life. That is, if you are going to live at all.

The story of Detroit will never be told as long as political correctness holds truth hostage. Crime is a large part of that story and the truth regarding crime in Detroit is supressed.

Today, much of Detroit looks like Nagasaki did in 1946. The difference is Nagasaki had a future. Detroit, once noted for industrial might, is now beyond the decay of urban blight. Nature is recapturing the land and animals, such as pheasants, are returning.

American manufacturing might has been relocated to the 3rd world and Detroit's mighty auto industry has become a fading memory. There is little left in Detroit to speak of.

If Detroit were subjected to medical triage, it would be cast into the pile of the unsavable near dead, its life taken by its occupants and politicians.
 
I work 2 24 hour shifts in Detroit as a Paramedic. On Friday, the 17th, between 1:00 in the afternoon and 2:00 in the morning, St John Hospital handle 9 shootings- 9 seperate incidents with a total of 13 people shot,1 dead, and 3 kids, I believe. Of that total just for the east side, only one incident made the news. That was a shooting involving 5 victims, including a child. That does not include the 7 people shot on the west side that were taken to Sinai-Grace hospital.

Detroit has been a hole for a long time. We need to start filling it in. The city council is a joke, there really is not much of an option for mayor, as I see it. Freman Hendrix would do a fine job, I think, but he isn't trashy enough, for lack of a better descriptive, for the knuckleheads in Detroit. According to them, Hendrix is "too white." And that is from residents in the city. I don't have much longer on the streets, and I'm glad of it.
 
Detroit, Flint, Saginaw, East St. Louis, South LA , and on and on. All the same to varying degrees.
Only the government can create a program that kills self esteem and pride one's self and rips the family nucleus apart, replacing those virtues with a monthly check and back up programs to keep people down and voting a certain way.
Can't wait to see what the present regime can do.
