I knew it was getting bad here, but is it really that bad?

Forbes magazine just named Tulsa the #6 most dangerous city for cities with a population of more than 250k (Tulsa is about 380k, metro area near 1 million).

Granted the vast majority of this crime is confined in North and North-east Tulsa. But that's still a bit disheartening.

EDIT: Just read the story on another site, looks like the first place left some info out. THey included traffic fatalities with crime statistics, which seems a bit odd.

The other issue is they were only considering individual cities so Kansas City, MO was very high too despite the fact that KCMO is only like 20% of the entire metro and most of the rest is white collar shit.

Yeah, I also read that cities like Chicago don't report their statistics.

Look at the politicians there, would you expect them to.

Not during election season.

Well maybe not compiled but they will admit to going something like 9 years before having a day without a murder.

You can find some statistics on crime in Chicago but I don't think they compile a grand total or a percentage. They're at 500 murders this year already according to a buddy of mine who lives there.
