I wonder how much we paid to get on that list... ______________________________________________________________________ "When its time to shoot, shoot.

I don't know anything about the extra-national cities on that list, but I would guess that the population of those cities plays a role. In particular, they do so in the form of rates and crime rates. In other words, crime per unit capita which would be an indicator of how dangerous a city is. Here's a list of some of the U.S. cities with the highest murder rates, with their corresponding murder counts (from the FBI - Uniform Crime Report). You can see that while Chicago has the highest number of murders in that list, it ranks pretty low, because of it's murder rate. It's the large population there that washes out the high number of murders. In comparison, you can look at smaller cities like Monroe, LA and Savannah, GA, with far higher murder rates, but a much lower casualty count. https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-t...-2015/tables/table-6 Detroit: murders: 339 murder rate: 19.3 New Orleans: murders: 204 murder rate: 16.3 Monroe, LA: murders: 27 murder rate: 15.1 Savannah, GA: murders: 57 murder rate: 15.0 Philadelphia, PA: murders: 316 murder rate: 14.8 Salinas, CA: murders: 40 murder rate: 13.8 Baltimore: murders: 367 murder rate: 13.1 Pine Bluff, AR murders: 12 murder rate: 12.8 Gary, IN: murders: 82 murder rate: 11.9 Memphis: murders: 152 murder rate: 11.5 Baton Rouge: murders: 92 murder rate: 11.1 St. Louis, MO: murders: 294 murder rate: 10.5 Chicago: murders: 561 murder rate: 7.7 Washington, DC; Arlington, Alexandria, VA: murders: 291 murder rate: 6.0 Loyalty Above All Else, Except Honor ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

It one thing to look at the stats and numbers for murders in our cities. The real story lies in the stats and numbers for felonious and or aggravated assault. If you die as a result of a criminal act, it is reported as murder. If you live, its aggravated assault which gets much less attention. One of the reasons aggravated / felonious assaults have drastically increased is our hospitals have gotten really good at treating GSW victims! End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

Rio? I lived in that hellhole of a country for three decades, and there is no way Rio is on the top 40 safest cities in the world. That research is c___. | |||

Karachi, Mexico City, and Jo'burg are all on the list? Stop. Just... stop. I received "danger pay" the last time I set foot in Karachi. It was only 30% then. It's 35% now. For perspective, Beirut-- when the smoking ruins of the power plant overlooking the city (Israel had just sent a RocketGram a week or so earlier) were still visible from the airport-- only got me 20%. Mexico City and Johannesburg are both cesspools, and that's before ANY commentary on the U.S. wastelands on the list. | |||
