What US city has the highest homicide rate?
St. Louis, Missouri
St. Louis, Missouri, stands out with a significantly high rate of 54.4 homicides per 100,000 residents. This is the first time since 2021 that St. Louis has had the highest homicide rate out of the 24 select U.S. cities in the Center for Public Safety Initiatives homicide report.

' Missouri's 9.8 firearm homicide rate per 100,000 people during this five-year span (January 1, 2018 " December 31, 2022) was 1.66 times higher than the national rate, 5.4. ' Among the 50 states, only Mississippi (15.4), Louisiana (14.4) and Alabama (11.2) had a higher rate than Missouri's 9.8.

-The problem isn't Missouri, exactly. It's Saint Louis (and to a lesser extent KCMO)
St Louis makes the whole state look bad.

Every city on the River is she it whole. A Memphis old-timer told me once it was because of contraband dumping. The blacks that remained in the deep south (where I grew up), on the other hand, were fine and good citizens, at least before the gangsta rap crime culture took over.

Came here to say- before I was sidetracked to address C0Rnh0LiANUS's disparagement of MO and his unthreadly interjection of guns bad m'kay is this:

The ONLY money authorized by the constitution is now considered somehow not legitimate by TDS morons, and TBH most everybody for that matter, because we have been raised for over a century now, conditioned to accept, the FED model of artificial currency based on debt and designed to divert wealth to the blasphemous drug fiend punkass BANKERS via USURY.

Since the creation of the Fed, the U.S. dollar has lost 97% of its value.

St. Louis - 61% Kamala, 37% Trump - and this includes the whole county where most of the murders are in the part of the city that likely voted Kamala 90%.

KC - 59% Kamala, 39% Trump - same comment above on the distribution.

As I have said before, we don't have a red state/blue state divide. We have deep blue -------- cities in red states - this includes CA and NY as well as Missouri.

Blue states should stop subsidizing red state *hitholes.

You're so close to getting it! Why are the red states *hitholes?
because "We have deep blue *hithole cities in red states", these cities drag down the stats for entire 'red' states.

"show me" example of thwarted crime reducing "law" or measure please because I don't believe you.
The crime is caused by people ignoring existing laws, so more laws? Probably would not matter much.

NB4 "midnight basketball court " harebrain boondoggles don't count.

Oh, hitla... The GDP difference is because of Blues taking in more government spending than Reds. It costs a lot to try and maintain your beloved dystopian peoplehive filled with vandals and crooked blue pols selfdealing government contracts. The rural areas may spend more on roads, because huge, but that's probably most of it right there, and roads supply food so your dystopian crimeridden megahive cities don't starve instantly.

Does government spending count as GDP?
GDP is the measure of all final goods and services in the economy. It includes final goods and services acquired by the US government because those are no less real than final goods and services produced by private citizens.

Big cities are to the planet analogous to cancer tumors in a body, sucking in all the nutrients, highways pumping food to them like veins supplying sugar to cancer, expanding uncontrollably, always hungry, filthy and pusfilled rotting areas swamped in excreted waste, that must for the health of the body be excised or at least reduced, limited, to prevent death of the whole body or planet.

The big cities are always Blue, the color of depletion, the color of suffocation, while our magnificent HUGE and largely uncrowded countryside is throbbing and RED, oxygen-rich, the color of HEALTH and vitality.
