OK, T2B, Here it is... Lol!
[yvid]Gary, Indiana,

It's all just common sense. Big cities are mostly run by Democrats therefore metrics for big cities must be used and not compared to the more conservative rural and/or smaller city metrics.

ETA

Also compare Gary's metrics to other cities where there was significant manufacturing job losses and urban decay...regardless of political affiliation.

There is no such thing as common sense anymore

I fail to see your point though, Gary, IN is far from being a "big city".

I get off the highway in Gary to get gas frequently. This past weekend, there was this loud boom where you can feel the concussion. Everybody looked at each other... then looked to the sky... shrugged our shoulders...finished pumping gas and got back on the highway.

It is always an eventful pit stop at the Burr Street exit of interstate 94 in Gary.

They're comparing it to the rest of the state - what are you talking about national statistics for?
I swear, you'll take the contrary view on literally everything around this place.

Open up the duckducgo link and then explain to me what the words 'national median' means within the comparison.

Are you serious?

Maybe take your crap goggles off and read the sentence you copy and pasted.....

Gary, IN 1 in 220 ALL of Indiana 1 in 319

Last I checked, Indiana is not national.....


OP is comparing Gary, In crime rate to the overall state crime rate. Very fair comparison, if you can read

The comparison is out of whack and it has nothing to do with politics but rather the underlying issues which are loss of manufacturing jobs and white flight. derp

The common belief was that the primary strategy to evade danger in Indiana was to steer clear of Gary, Indiana. Regrettably, this is no longer the situation.

While Gary continues to grapple with its own set of issues, it has been surpassed as the state’s most perilous location. Indiana has managed to distribute its challenges evenly across the state. RoadSnacks provides insights into the most dangerous places in Indiana for 2022.

Look at this link's violent crime list and see that Alabama and Alaska are at the top.

So, you're wrong and the numbers are correct but you're not mature enough to admit it.

a reply to: The2Billies

Ah, you see the future here? With the One Party in charge of everything, the entire country will become a giant pit of despair, (POD).

But hey, elections, right? Yea, the next election will fix everything. That's all we need just ONE MORE ELECTION, and all will be well.

Except of course........it won't; it never does BECAUSE, 9 out of 10 Federal Employees are Democrat. 9 out of 10 University Professors are Democrat; 9 out of 10 Teachers are Democrat. The "Party" owns, operates and controls every Federal Bueau and every arm of the Administrative State, think...the FBI to the EPA, The Justice Department to the IRS. You could resurrect Ronald Regan and elect him POTUS and NOTHING would change.

So welcome to your future; a future where Detroit and Chicago and Gary Indiana are the new normal........EVERYWHERE!

I don't agree with the numbers when the numbers are cherry picked for a political agenda. What about the violent crime stats highest in Alabama and Alaska, where's the maturity to acknowledge other republican led state violent crime stats?

a reply to: quintessentone

This thread isn't about Alabama or Alaska, it's about Indiana.

Hard to "cherry pick" numbers when the numbers that are presented are for the city, and state, being talked about.

The whole premise of this thread is the city and state being democratic over time...let's look at other states that are republican over time and then let's compare violent crime stats. Fair?

Red state vs. blue state stats:

Altogether, the per capita Red State murder rate was 23% higher than the Blue State murder rate when all 21 years were combined

I think you will be disappointed to find the numbers and stats will only further the point that Democratic run cities are going to have higher crime rates.

But feel free to do so if that will make you feel better in the long run.

And congrats again on, once again, ignoring comments made to you in a thread.
