Well, no. Some cities are significantly less dangerous than others. For example, Democratic-run NYC has a lower murder rate than the entire GOP-run state of Florida as a whole; and a significantly lower murder rate than those of the two biggest cities in the state, Jacksonville and Miami--both led by Republican mayors.
The trick is pretending Demographics don't matter.
The higher the population of African-Americans is in a city the higher the murder rate goes.
AA's vote 95% Democrat.
Therefore, more Democrats = more murder.
How many of these highest-homicide-rate cities have Republican mayors? Any?
The twenty cities in the United States with the highest murder rates (murders per 100,000 people) are: St. Louis, MO (69.4) Baltimore, MD (51.1) New Orleans, LA (40.6) Detroit, MI (39.7) Cleveland, OH (33.7) Las Vegas, NV (31.4) Kansas City, MO (31.2) Memphis, TN (27.1) Newark, NJ (25.6) Chicago, IL (24) Cincinnati, OH (23.8) Philadelphia, PA (20.2) Milwaukee, WI (20.0) Tulsa, OK (18.6) Pittsburgh, PA (18.4)

Murder rate isn’t very important to me. Most of the murder happens in the same places that rich white people can easily avoid. It’s just a political move because of the whole city and black people thing. I feel more unsafe when I pull my Subaru into a rural gas station.

Oh yeah. So many murders happen at rural gas stations.

I’m more afraid of a psycho hillbilly thinking he’s gonna own a lib. You guys do seem angry a lot of the time

Seriously, if we are talking levels of fear here…walking around the streets of a city or running alone on a backroad and having 3 pickups with trump flags rolling up on you…who would not be more afraid of the trumpers?

You think there are bands of Trump supporters rolling around in pickups assaulting people?

Not white people, but fear is often illogical. Like the rural man's fear of the city. Most murders are concentrated in specific areas and usually later at night. It's very unlikely anything bad will happen to you, unless you consider paying 1200 a month for half of a two bed two bath apartment something bad.
Welp, per 538 it looks like ol' Joe has pretty much plateaued at 42.x% approval (still 10+ percentage points under water). And per AAA it looks like average gas prices have stopped their downward trend, as I and many others predicted for this month.
Dems are gonna have to come up with something to "motorvate" their folks in the next few weeks, and I don't think abortion rights will do it. Remembering that fear and anger are the biggest promoters of people's getting to the polls, I think the GOP can look for at least "normal" midterm election results. Stoking fear and anger are mostly what GOP politicians and media do (god knows they don't have any actual policies in mind), and they do it well.

well sorta. I'll put it this way....no one in a subaru or prius has ever yelled at me as they roar past on a rural road. Pickups, yes.
And of course the extremes - Ahmaud Arbery was chased down and killed while running, and apparently in texas it's cool to roll coal on runners and cyclists. Just good ol' boys having a time scaring the skinny libs in short shorts! Fun!

yeah I think some of the momentum has stopped moving toward the Dems...just five weeks or so to go...enough time to shift some of it toward the Rs, no doubt.

Of course, I’m not sure parading around a governor that put 40,000 businesses out of work and oversaw the exodus of more people the past three years than the entire population of Vermont is going to benefit their cause much.
“How is it racist to hate black people when they suck” -Adult probably
have to be careful here...facts are facts...murder rates are massively. I mean stunningly, higher among African Americans than other ethnic groups. There basically is no murder in big cities outside african american and some parts of the hispanic populations. I think something like 27 white people a year get murdered in NYC each year. In a city of millions. A negligible number and (guessing now) I suspect those 27 were not random killings. The chance of a white person being murdered randomly in NYC is virtually nil.

yeah California is just a massive failure. It's too crowded - no one goes there anymore.

Have to be able to tell the truth here.
What do you think is the reason for the wide differences in murder rates Agip? Certain people would say they are genetically predisposed to violence. Certainly you don't agree with that right?
It would if you actually had any money and moved among peers who also had money.
What a moronic comment. Just because you have money doesn't mean you move in circles with people who also have money. I bought a restaurant for my buddy, and he's doing great. He chipped in a little just so he felt some ownership. I get a portion of the profits, and I've already made back what I put into it, and probably by the end of this year, I'm going to give him the rest of the restaurant, unbeknownst to him. The other business I bought is one that I was just a fan of. The owner wanted out, but I let the current staff continue to run it, much to their surprise, and I basically stay out of the way.
I own two homes. One is the one I live in 9 months of the year, and the other one is at the ocean where I go 3 months of the year. I could rent it out, but I don't need the money, so it just sits empty other than the few times the management staff goes in while I'm not there. Both homes are nice, but not indicative of the wealth I have.
My friends are people I went to high school and college with. None of them are as wealthy as I am though a couple of them have very good professional careers.
Pretty hilarious getting information from a guy who isn't rich about what it's like being rich, when I already am and you aren't.
Is there anything you know about? I haven't seen it.
1. I simply don't believe you. The only thing believable about your story is that it jives with your current politics which are exactly the same as the typical high school sophomore who hasn't had to live in the real world yet. Being gifted millions so young would leave you in a permanent state of childhood. You certainly fit that mold.
2. You have no idea what my situation is.
3. Regardless of either of our situations you have the political knowledge of a toddler.

I'm certainly not going to get into that debating cesspool, thanks. But I do think it's important that we can tell the truth.

It’s the irrational fear stoked by the left and now the DOJ under Biden. It’s why Biden / Garland are desperately looking for crimes to prosecute that they can label as acts of white nationalists as they told us are the greatest domestic threat. That and parents at school board meetings.

This is the dumbest post you've ever made and that's saying something.
