And the winner is DETROIT. Cogratulations murder city USA.
Chicago actually won the award for most murders, but to be fair you have to take into account the total population. Liberal douchebags like Barry Ritholtz have their panties in a knot because the U.S. murder rate per 100,000 people is 4.8. They claim that is too high and we need gun control to reduce it. The rate in Detroit was 58.1, edging out the beautiful metropolis of New Orleans.
Their false storyline is blown out of the water by the little chart I’ve created from the data in the story. Everyone of these cities is run by Democrats. They’ve created welfare state shitholes. Drugs, unemployment, high taxes, welfare dependency, educational failure, and strong gun control laws are the common theme in these Democrat strongholds.
These nine cities account for 5.9% of the U.S. population and 20.7% of all the murders in the country. I’m sure MSNBC will be doing a story on where the vast majority of homicides in this country occur. Instead of banning guns, maybe we should ban black men from having children out of wedlock and not honoring their fatherly obligation. Maybe we should ban public schools that graduate morons who can’t spell CAT into society. Maybe we should ban Democrat politicians who have ruined our cities.
I only listed some of our largest cities, but our friends in Camden NJ were off the freaking charts. There are only 77,000 people living in Camden and they committed 67 murders in 2012. For the math challenged, this equals 87 murders per 100,000 people. OUCH!!!
Barack Obama received more than 90% of the votes in the City of Camden.

Homicides in troubled Detroit up 9 percent in 2012: officials
(Reuters) – The bad news continues for the financially troubled city of Detroit, where the number of homicides jumped 9 percent last year, according to data released on Thursday.
Detroit’s total of 411 homicides, up from 377 the previous year, includes 386 criminal homicides and 25 “justifiable homicides” that included 3 shootings by police, according to numbers released by the city.
The number of criminal homicides was up from 344 in 2011 – an increase of 12 percent. The total in 2010 was 308.
Michigan Governor Rick Snyder late last month appointed a financial review team for Detroit, the latest development in a process that could lead the city to file for the biggest-ever U.S. municipal bankruptcy. The city has been hit by a steep population decline and years of budget deficits.
Cities across the country are releasing their 2012 crime statistics. In some cases, such as New York City, where the murder rate dropped to an apparent record low, the totals have been cause for celebration. In others, such as Chicago, where the number of murders topped 500 for the first time in four years, it has been a source of shame.
Chicago gained international attention last year for its increased rate of murders, mostly shootings. Its total for 2012 was 506, up nearly 17 percent from 433 in 2011.
But Detroit’s numbers are higher proportionally — Detroit has a population of 706,585 according to the 2011 U.S. Census estimate, while Chicago’s population is almost four times that size at about 2.7 million.
The total in Detroit works out to one homicide per 1,719 people, compared with 1 in 5,336 people in Chicago.
In a statement, Detroit Mayor Dave Bing said the release of the statistics “reminds us of the senselessness of crime and violence in our community; the challenges facing our police force; and the need to improve conflict resolution and other anti-crime initiatives.”
Another Great Lakes city where homicides spiked last year was Cleveland, Ohio, which had 97 murders, up from 74 in 2011 and 84 in 2010. With a population of 393,816, that works out to 1 murder for every 4,060 people.
“I attribute it to young men with low IQs carrying big guns. It is just the reality of it,” said Cleveland Councilman Michael P. Polensek.
Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy and other officials have blamed the homicide surge in the Windy City on a splintering of the city’s traditional gangs and the rise of new factions vying for control of the its south and west sides. He also noted that the city has a proliferation of illegal firearms, especially compared with New York or Los Angeles.
New York reported 414 murders as of December 28, although it has more than three times the population of Chicago. New York’s murder rate amounts to one killing per 19,915 people. Los Angeles police reported 294 murders through December 22, 2012, up from 291 in the same period of 2011, in a population of almost 3.8 million.
John Hagedorn, an associate professor of criminal justice at the University of Illinois at Chicago, said that unlike the 1990s, when there was a “real gang war” going on, violence in Chicago is more spontaneous and uncontrollable by gang leaders, community workers or police officers.
“The root of violence in Chicago today is in the desperate conditions in the black community and alienation of black youth, not some gang war that could be ended by suppression or negotiation,” Hagedorn said.
In other cities, Philadelphia police reported 331 homicides in 2012, up from 324 in 2011, in a population of almost 1.54 million. That amounts to 1 in 4,642.
St. Louis recorded 113 murders in 2012, the same as in 2011, for a population of 318,069, or one murder per 2,815 people. This was well below the average of 141 murders for the previous five years, said St. Louis Police Captain Michael Sack.
“We’re trending in the right direction,” Sack said. But he added that it was difficult to pinpoint a reason. He noted that the department has been engaging in “hot spot policing” to target areas where violent crime occurs.
New Orleans reported 193 murders in 2012, a small drop from 199 in 2011, according to the New Orleans Police Department. New Orleans has a population of 360,740, which puts its murder rate at 1 per 1,869 residents.
Washington, D.C. reported 88 murders in 2012, the lowest total since 1961, according to D.C. police. The population is 617,996, putting the murder rate at one for every 7,023 people.

Found that out a year or two ago while browsing for photos of the ruins of Detroit. It seems that many places on the web are posting that photo and calling it Detroit.
Here is a decent photo album of Detroit ruins, though not really showing the squalor actual people live in. These photos are incredible, the people literally just up and left. So many of the places in these photos have items that would normally be moved along with the tenants. Not in Detroit, they got the hell out of there.

I found stats that show the Detroit murder rate in 2000 was 43. Isn’t it special that they have done so well in the past decade – mamaged to limit the increase to only around 20%. They deserve enormous credit.

I like the quote by Mike Polensek the straight talking Cleveland city councilman.
“I attribute it to young men with low IQs carrying big guns. It is just the reality of it,” said Cleveland Councilman Michael P. Polensek.
This guy believe or not is a straight shooter no pun intended. Asked about perps getting killed robbing a cop bar in Collinwood- died from lead poison. He defends his turf but the city is swirling down the shitter very quickly. I think I recall a short while ago about the state of Michigan taking over these cities and civil rights leaders claiming racism. Quit electing incompetant HNIC. If I were supreme leader I would prosecute with RICO statues the Democratic parties of these cities, counties and states. Put them all in prison!!! We had the FBI do that in Cuyahoga county because the skim got too big. It will take a long time to solve these issues.
I also think most of the FSA must be neutered because they have too many children with no fucking consequence for their actions. This is the most Goddammned irresponsible thing to do. If you can’t take care of yourself then don’t bring in babies that the state has to support from womb to school to prison to tomb. Another Idea is armed teachers to shoot students who threaten school safety. I don’t have all the answers but we don’t have to deal with this fucked up bullshit anymore.

If we’re going to have to spend money on the FSA, why not spend it on something that will actually do some goddamned good, for a change?
Like FREE STERILIZATIONS?
Tie a reward, like an I-pod, to a tubal ligation or vasectomy.
A tubal costs about $3000 and a vasectomy is somewhat cheaper. The tubal for women is really better because just one unsterilized guy can do a lot of damage very quickly on a population of unsterilized women. However, if you sterilize enough women, you will vastly reduce the number of babies born to 21 year old retards
The big problem is no way no how is anyone going to let you sterilize women under age 18, and unfortunately, the FSA starts breeding very, very early, like age 12 or thereabouts. The only solution to this is to maintain the Age of Consent at age 18 and go after guys who impregnate younger girls with Statuatory Rape and Corruption of the Morals of a Minor charges. The vast majority of the guys who impregnate these girls are over age 21- the older guys you see hanging out by high schools and middle schools and talking up little girls of 13 are not pursuing these girls for the intellectual stimulation.
Women over 21 who have I.Qs of 90 should be sterilized and I’m sure they’ll do it voluntarily for a little sweetener like an electronic gadget.
Instead, we have laws on the books in some states that prevent a woman who wants a tubal ligation from getting one unless she has had a certain number of kids and is past a certain age? WTF are people thinking? What right do we have to tell a woman she can’t get sterilized and avoid dropping babies she can’t support?

Parents don’t want their daughters to be whores, they shouldn’t raise a whore. They shouldn’t rely on the state to “protect” their baby from the come ons of a 21 year old “entrepreneur”.

PS, in the past, like in the glorious days of the 50s, you had better believe that young men were prosecuted for going near a girl under age 18.
Sorry, but people under 18 are CHILDREN and are entitled to certain legal protections and during the “golden” 50s, these protections were enforced rigorously. Every decent society protects children. Parents have always relied upon the local community to protect their kids, which is why most people would rather raise their kids in a white-bread suburb than in a city neighborhood.
I grew up in the 60s. Let me tell you that no guy over age 18 would come near a girl in my age bracket at that time, for fear of law. We were referred to as “jailbait”. The administrators at my high school were ruthless about chasing away older boys who came by to talk up the high school girls- they knew exactly what these boys are after. Remember that a 21 year old man has a lot on a 13 year old girl in terms of worldly sophistication and ability to persuade. The sister of one of my boyfriends, a frisky kid of 14, ran away with her dimtwit 21 year old boyfriend (who her parents did not know about until she ran). Her stepdad was a partner in a major St Louis law firm. Hell, he had the FBI on it immediately and there was a bloody platoon of FBI agents waiting for the girl and her swain when their plane landed in another city. He was tossed in jail.

All this killing is not as bad as it appears. For the most part everywhere its scumbags killing scum bags. Some decent folks do get whacked but over all the worst element its killing itself. Hell……….let them have at it. Full bore until they kill each 10 times faster than the breed. I bet the murder rate of half decent people who are not dope heads, thieves, drug dealers, gutter sluts or thugs is pretty low.
There is no reason to get upset about the terminally poor, the always under privileged or constantly struggling minorities that can’t escape these environments. Oklahoma Female have you ever been around these people? They are fucking subhuman. The only services they might qualify for are from the SPCA. At least for neutering. It’s not as bad in Oklahoma but you have them too.
We have some even out in the Texas boondocks. Our kind of scumbags are mostly crack heads who wander around stealing stuff and breaking into barns and sheds and sometimes a house. They get caught a lot because the dumb asses will take stuff to the pawn shop and that’s the first stop people check when their lawnmower goes missing.
Fortunately the crackheads mostly only kill each other, drug dealers, meth cooks and occasionally strangle one of their skinny crack-whores.
The children of these assholes crank out are either dimwitted chromosome damaged retards or evil little vermin your wise to never be kind to. Paying will not help them. They are not reformable and if the do get off the dope about all they can do is hand out protestant propaganda flyers proclaiming they found Jesus while collecting disability for being three quarters brain dead.
Putting these morons in jail is no good. They get out alive and have gained weight at tax payer expense. For some reason no one ever kills them while they are in jail. Most of them are the offspring of felonious morons so they have the stupid criminal addict genes baked in and there is a high risk of them breeding. They generally fall right back into the old dope and theft routine. At best they become institutionalized card carrying FSA members. In other words they become Democrats. Only here in Texas much like Oklahoma our FSA minions and agents of tyranny are called Republicans.

DISARMING AMERICA
http://fellowshipofminds.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/demarquis-elkins.jpg
In late March 2013, 17 year old De’Marquis Elkins shot and killed
an 13 month old baby who was sitting in a stroller.
Elkins shot the infant in the face after the mother refused to give him money.
He also shot the mother in the leg and the neck in Brunswick, GA.
De’Marquis Elkins is not a member of the NRA.
He did not use an assault rifle.
He did not get his stolen pistol from a gun show.
His favorite music is rap.
He did not attend Christian school, nor was he home schooled.
He did attend multicultural public education,
and was not instructed in the Ten Commandments.
His Momma was on welfare, got food stamps, and lived in public housing.
His daddy was not around, and his two brothers have a different daddy.
He already has a record for violent crimes.
He is gang member.
His mom, grandma, and Aunty all voted for Obama.
He never earned his hunter safety card, nor did he shoot CMP,
Junior NRA, or 4H Air Rifle Competitions.
He was never instructed in gun safety from his father or grandfather.
His public education and family taught him that the white man owes him something.
He went to collect it.
He has no plans on getting married, but does have a Baby Momma, and no,
he is not supporting her baby.
He smokes dope.
He does respect Kayne West.
While he has no job, nor is looking for one, he is well fed.
He has no skills outside of crime.
He speaks Ebonics, and is not capable of doing a professional
interview, even though he spent 11 years in public education.
He is one of millions.
This is what we are up against. Make no mistake that people like
Elkins will have their guns. There are people wanting to deny
you the right to arm yourself. Your tax dollars are paying for
the continuation of a system that breeds pieces of shit like this one.

It ain’t Democrats doing this it s white people for not helping and stumping on Spanish Africans Asians and Arabic descent. For instant the bombing in Boston they lived in America for years went to our schools colleges one of the bombers wanted to compete in the Olympics for the states but because of white people and how they mistreat people caused them to react. I bet when they first moved here they had no plans to bomb shit! Then they lived us and white people and had another view they experience racism and got fed up. Same thing happened in va tech but he was Asians can’t blame yourselves then u can’t blame anybody.
