[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. Just move. Take control of your own life. DC govt will not solve this for you. [/quote]

+100. City life comes with some grit. Not sure why people move here expecting Mulberry Lane.

DC, Detroit, Denver, NYC, LA, Chicago, San Francisco, Paris, Copenhagen, London, Madrid, Sao Paolo--- all have criminals[/quote]

I don’t know about Sao Paolo, but DC is far more dangerous to than all of these cities. It has more murders per capita than any major city in the Northeast and the West Coast. The only big city in America that comes close to the crime here is New Orleans and St Louis.

Regarding crime, London, Paris, Madrid, and Copenhagen are bucolic, sleepy hamlets compared to DC. Excusing the crime as just part of city life is a slight to other less murdery cities. [/quote]

No, they are not less murdery. The only difference is that people kill with knives b/c they have less access to guns. [/quote]

Nonsense. The murder rate in Copenhagen is 1.6 per 100,000 residents. In Washington DC, it's 32 per 100,000 residents.

The criminal class in DC is much more murder-y than almost anywhere on the planet. We have an incredibly violent population here. It's not remotely comparable to almost any city in the world. To say that things in DC are no different than in London, Paris, or Madrid is delusional.   [/quote]

Exactly. PP is acting you can’t Google murder statistics by year and a city’s population. Facts are not your friend PP. DC is incredibly dangerous compared to city’s its size in America, and much more dangerous than cities in Europe.

DC has more than five times the murder rate of NYC. Let’s not even start comparing it to Copenhagen.[/quote]Statistics are racist.  Using anti-racist math and other ways of knowing, DC has the lowest murder rate in the US.[/quote]
