How violent is your city?

[Generalsma]

Well I come from Oakland,CA and resently a cop killed a man who already had his handcuffs on.I don't know if you seen it on the news but it was messed up and videotaped by a cellphone.You may ask why I care of how violent your city is and it's because I like the ghetto.

Last I checked, my city was the third safest city in the U.S.

I'm not sure if it's still the same, I'll have to check on it later.

Though right across the border, it's horrific and I hope it doesn't merge into El Paso, Texas.

My hometown, Port Angeles, was pretty non-violent. There hasn't been a murder in 10 years. HOWEVER, it is home to a lot of drugees.

The current town I live in, I don't notice. It's average.

My town is... safe.
Sort of. And yet not. It deserves points for the crimes that you know happen, but you'll never hear about. In years I only remember there been one unsolved murder, and I wouldn't even call it that.

It only really gets dangerous at night when alcohol and drugs get involved. And thats a pretty easy way to avoid the danger. Not partying until 4 in the morning is a good start.

Euclid, Ohio.. is a bit peaceful, there's a small number of loud neighbors that enjoy blasting their speakers at night. There's only been 1 break-in attempt in this neighborhood (or so I've been told by the older neighbors), we get a few rowdy gangster-wannabe kids who like to make noise, but that's about it.

I lived in East Cleveland once, it's alot more violent and there's a special ghetto area in Cleveland (I forget the name) that is very violent, with frequent car jacks, burglaries, gang shoot outs, etc.

In one of the High Schools in Oakland,CA the fights sometimes involve guns and knifes.I remember like 4 people getting shot 2 blocks away from my house and in one occasion there was a guy running with a riffle in front of my house.My dad saw it.

That list you have posted looks more of 'slums' then violence.

Oh yeah, there was that time a teenage mother didn't want her baby anymore so she wrapped it up in a plastic grocery bag, and threw the baby in the garbage.. Happened a few streets from here, they found the baby alive, but I can't remember what happened to the girl afterwards.
