Do You Know What The Most Dangerous City In The US Is? SPOILER: It’s NOT Detroit.

I just asked two people what they thought the most dangerous city in the country was.

BOTH of them said Detroit.

Nope! Not even close!

Detroit saw a 39 per 100,000 homicide rate in 2017.

The most dangerous city in the US? 56 out of 100,000.

Yeah… that’s bad.

Any guesses?

Not really all that good of a morning, huh?

According to Daily Caller:

A new report names Baltimore, Md., as the most dangerous city in America after the city had the highest per capita murder rate in the country for 2017.

USA Today analyzed 2017 law enforcement crime data from the 50 biggest cities in the nation and found that Baltimore had a higher per capita murder rate than cities like New Orleans and Detroit.

Baltimore came in first with about 56 people murdered per 100,000 in 2017, seeing about 343 homicides throughout the course of the year. New Orleans, on the other hand, saw 40 per 100,000 killed and Detroit saw 39 per 100,000.

The city also saw more total homicides than big cities like Los Angeles, Dallas and New York City. The USA Today analysis left out St. Louis, a smaller city, that would have beaten Baltimore’s per capita homicide rate.

HOLD UP!

Does that mean St. Louis is even WORSE off than Baltimore?!?!! …Yikes.

Baltimore struggled to fight the gun violence plaguing the city in 2017, with activists hosting “ceasefire weekends” in an attempt to urge people to stop murdering each other.

Not all residents agree with the USA Today analysis of their city, saying they haven’t felt any danger while living in the city.

“It’s a shame when people who don’t come in the city and don’t experience the city, don’t have relationships here want to make comments about it,” Rachel Cybor told CBS Baltimore.

Listen Rachel… I totally get being defensive of your city… but your city also earned the nickname “Bodymore”

FYI…The city’s not seen a Republican mayor since 1967.
