the city has the highest rate of homicides

Baltimore Dubbed 'Most Robbed' City In America

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-...d-city-america

About a 60-minute drive northeast of Washington D.C., the city of Baltimore is on the verge of collapse.

Thousands of people are fleeing the city each year as total population plummets to 100-year lows. There are about 46,000 vacant rowhomes scattered throughout the area, or roughly 15% of the housing stock is dormant. On a per capita basis, the city has the highest rate of homicides per 100,000 in the country. Opioids from Johns Hopkins and the University of Maryland Medical Center continue to flood the poorest of neighborhoods, leaving the African American communities in a perpetual state of addiction, along with the need for constant government assistance programs. With the local economy basically a black market, gangs roam the streets like a third world country.

There is new evidence that verifies our coverage on Baltimore, and we must say - the report doesn't give hope that a turn around in the city is happening anytime soon.

New evidence from ADT security study that examined FBI statistics shows the town is now the "most robbed" city in America. Baltimore had the most significant number of robberies per capita - 95.87 for every 10,000 people.

ADT's analytic analysts "looked at the FBI’s annual crime data [for 2017] for robbery rates to discover which city in each state experienced the most robberies."

While robberies worsened in Baltimore, they declined nationwide, dropping by 28% between 2008 and 2017.

Some of the safest streets in America are in Boise, Idaho where 2.26 people are robbed per 10,000 people.

Here’s the rest of the most dangerous cities:

Cleveland, Ohio

Oakland, California

St. Louis, Missouri

East Point, Georgia

Wilmington, Delaware ranks no. 8, Chester, Pa. is no. 10.

NO surprise, the family of a college friend from the early 60's yet, moved from Bawltimore out to the burbs, because of crime.....



and surely it's no better.....

Manchester NH is the perfect example of failed liberal policies and programs. Crime started going up when somalian refugees were moved there. Then after Obama came into office the place become flooded with Mexicans and south Americans and their drug problems, along with crime rates, skyrocketed.

I want to know the demographics of the criminals. That is a telling story in and of itself.

Cleveland doesn't surprise me. They're posturing to overtake Philly and Stockton. I don't miss Ohio. Old industrial city/state, so they are experiencing the same thing as Detroit. Just not sure who is responsible.

Granola Munchers, Tree Huggers, Hippies, etc.

Whoo hoo! Oakland is only 3rd, gotta pick up our game

And security authority does not do anything about it?

[bill_daniels]

Houston is representing! Our love of illegals is surpassed only by our love of domestic criminals. Our new Soros backed DA gives free bond (a signature) to most of our criminal community. While we are holding our own at the moment, at some point, our little bedroom community will fall, too, and I'll have to flee.

One of the best TV show (2002-2008) that ranks with , The Sopranos and Break Bad is "The Wire".
"Baltimore drug scene, seen through the eyes of drug dealers and law enforcement."
9.3/10 from 1/4 million viewers on IMDB.

I would sit stunned for awhile after watching many of the episodes.

Been a shithole for years, the last decent mayor was William Donald Schaefer, responsible for the Inner Harbor and other nationally known sites. He saw the light, became gov for eight years and retired. Every mayor after him ran the town into the ground.

It cannot and will not come back, too entrenched, and hell, one of the last police commissioners just went to jail.........They can't keep a PC there to save their ass.

Born and Raised in MD (White Marsh) and still have family all over the state.

Living in Oklahoma is a total opposite comparative to what I grew up with. The cost of living, the taxes, the kind people and extremely low crime make my city one of the most desirable in the nation.

Going back to MD makes me appreciate what we have in OK. I miss the blue crabs, distinct seasons and ocean but will pass on most everything else.

My home for the first 62 years of my life. Graceland Park, Dundalk, Highlandtown, Parkville, Carney, Essex, Middle River, Bowley's Quarters.

Once retired, got the hell out to DE, so much nicer over here.

It was bad in the 80's and has just gotten worse. Belair, and White Marsh were better areas. My friend lives in Eldersburg and loves that area, but it seems like you are surrounded with crap on every side. Cousins in Towson and Essex.... NOPE.

Hubs is LEO, sure as hell would not want him working in any of those cities. Hats off to the men and women that do, not enough $$$$ in the world IMO.
