Camden, NJ....#1 with a bullet

[GaryG]

CAMDEN, N.J. — A national study ranks the New Jersey city of Camden as the nation's most dangerous city in 2008.

The annual rankings from CQ Press are based on FBI-compiled crime data and population figures. Some criminologists say the methodology is unfair.

Camden is no stranger to the top of the list. It was the most dangerous city for 2003 and 2004 and is consistently in the top 10. The bad ranking comes during a year when the number of murders has dropped amid major changes to the police department.

The study found Camden had more than 2,300 violent crimes for every 10,000 residents last year.

St. Louis, Oakland, Calif., Detroit and Flint, Mich., round out the top five.

The safest city with more than 75,000 residents was Colonie, N.Y.

The population is predominately Presbyterian ??? :lol:

[Valuist]

Isn't Colonie awfully close to Schenectady? That town has to be a lot closer to Flint than the safest ranking.

Any ties to single parent upbringing leaning on state funds?

I for one(?) think we need to address the mis-steps, mistakes & mis-shtupps, of the 'shtupping', 'stepping', and 'taking' public.

Speaking of Dems in the cities, Baltimore Mayor Shiela Dixon (Juan Dixon's aunt)
is on trial for stealing gift cards meant for inner city youth. The jury is out for the 3rd day- only takes one idiot to get her off.

The controversy revolves around a former NBA player buddy of BHO who is a democratic mayor of Sacramento, CA., and got caught with his hands in the cookie jar.

Maybe they should build a new prison facility for Jefferson and all of his cronies.

I think that is the same Kevin Johnson that played with Larry Bird on the Celtics
