I’m more comfortable walking in midtown Manhattan than I am some desolate country road where I’m in big trouble if a pick up truck stops next to me and tells me to get in.

Also - Based on the latest data, Tennessee has a significantly higher rate of gun deaths per capita than New York. For 2023, the total age-adjusted gun death rate in Tennessee was 22.0 per 100,000 residents, while New York's was 4.7 per 100,000. That’s a huge difference.

Compare two cities - As of 2024, the gun death rate in Jackson, Mississippi, was drastically higher than in Boston, Massachusetts. Data shows that Jackson had the highest per-capita homicide rate in the U.S. in 2024, while Boston's homicide rate was at a near-historic low.

Compare a red state and a blue state on the safety of women regarding the most serious assault - Massachusetts rape rate: For 2023, the rape rate was 27.3 per 100,000 people. This rate of violence against women in Massachusetts is lower than the U.S. national average.

Texas rape rate: For 2023, the rate was 49.5 per 100,000 people, placing Texas among the highest rates of violence against women in the country.


I am so sick of the stupidest people in our country buying this bull that Trump sells. Blue states are safer including their cities. How much taxpayer money was spent on the dog and pony show that Trump put on in Portland, DC, Chicago?

And which party controls Jackson, Mississippi?

It brings me no pleasure to point out that all the crime stuff is correlated to the size of the African-American population, not to the party in charge. Furthermore, pro-crime democrat district attorneys and judges obstruct the proper administration of justice in these high crime areas.

oKKK. So you are proposing paying them reparations for the 2 centuries of abuse, theft, and murder, right?

That's been going on for decades dude. It's called federal govt jobs for African Americans, welfare benefits, SNAP benefits, Medicaid, etc.

You don't have to be aware of hyper-local distinctions when you're in some MAGA town, so that's why they judge the whole city by its worst parts.

No, you have to be aware of KKKletus and his tribe looking out for strangers to "take care of"

Your head is filled with brainrot propaganda fantasies churned out by Hollywood. Rural Karens may hector outsiders from time to time but they don't rob/murder/rape like what happens in the inner cities.

Says the Faux News parrot.

I've never watched Fox News in my life. But I do know my neighbor in Queens was raped in a home invasion.

Sure you do! You should turn yourself in! Oh wait maga does not think rape is a crime.

Post-coital regret is not rape. A woman getting her house invaded by a pack of armed men who rob and rape her is rape.

You need to watch the documentary The Perfect Neighbor. And shut up.

If Republicans had a way to reduce crime in cities like Jackson they would present that solution to voters, run for office and win. Why hasn't that happened?

+1 Why isn’t Trump sending troops into the violent hellholes of Jackson, Birmingham, and St. Louis?

During the last decade, rural counties had a per-capita murder rate 37% higher than urban counties. It isn’t the cities themselves that cause red state crime. It’s poverty, lax gun laws, chronic underinvestment in schools and mental health care, and decades of Republican punitive justice/mass incarceration policies that don’t work and don’t address the root cause.

"per capita" kinda levels the playing field for metrics, no?

I guess you missed the lynchings that happened after Charlie Kirk's murder.

Is it just that they’re watching news max or Fox all day long?

They are not reporting or prosecuting lots of crimes in those cities, dumbass.
