[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Baltimore is very safe compared to red areas like in West Virginia or Kentucky.

Your racism is showing. [/quote]

What the F is this? I live in Baltimore and I can say nonsense. Baltimore has safe areas and Baltimore has high crime and very dangerous areas. But the overall murder and crime rate is vastly higher than anywhere in WV or KY. [/quote]

It’s the old “per-capita” ruse.

If you have a rural county with a thousand people in it, and one of them murders someone, then that rural county is “much more dangerous than Baltimore or Detroit”  :roll:

So a place like Baltimore, with 500,000 people and 300 murders per year, is “safer” than some rural county in WV with a thousand people and one murder. In Baltimore your per capita odds of being murdered are 1:1,666. In that rural WV county, the odds are 1:1,000 - 60% higher.

Except it’s complete nonsense, because literally anyone living in Baltimore will say they’d feel safer in some rural county with a tiny population. They know the stats are complete BS. [/quote]
