Murders Per 100,000 Citizens by City
swivel.com — What do these cities have in common? 9 out of 10 have a democratic mayor and have had one for many years! What does that say?

- Hoboking333, on 09/06/2008, -10/+2What does the mayor's political party have anything to do with the number of murders?
- vexingmodstwo, on 09/06/2008, -0/+8Good question.
Go find out. - infinitydl, on 09/06/2008, -0/+3Because its there soft on crime, social issues are the root of everything policies combined with a lack of perso0nal responsibility and an entitlement mentality that allow these criminal elements to fester. Lets not forget punishing business and driving it away along with the tax base. Put another way, Democrat policies of "soak the rich" and punish small business owners (through confiscatory tax rates, lead to failed cities with high crime rats)

- tasine, on 09/06/2008, -0/+11Oh, no, say it isn't true. Democrats cannot be in favor of murder, and I am sure they are NOT. But they sure do like to go soft on the murderer, soft on all sorts of crime - and put simply this is enabling lawlessness. In my book enabling is just as punishable as is the crime. Liberals would rather 50 people be cruelly killed rather than take the responsibility of insisting on proper hard punishment. In addition to that, it is easier to look elsewhere than to focus on his city's problems. For instance, look at how New Orleans was left adrift by a Democrat mayor and a Democrat governor during Katrina. The citizens would rather be allowed to die than vote out an incompetent Democrat. That is obvious because they keep electing these bozos.
Hobo asks what does the mayor's political lparty have anything to do with the number of murders. Hobo, you might want to check several Republican mayors, just for comparison's sake, to see if their cities are as corrupt as the long held Democrat mayoral seats. I advise you to be surprised. - BkMotto, on 09/06/2008, -1/+2There is no source given for that chart. No time frame either. I knew D.C. is always in the top, so checked around. Here's another chart with stats as of 2006. Not sure which cities in this one have democratic mayors. The information was taken from FBI statistics.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_cities_ ... - rootnik, on 09/06/2008, -0/+10This wouldn't have anything to do with tougher gun restrictions that Democrats like to push... you know, the restrictions that put more guns in the hands of criminals than those that play by the rules? The restrictions that makes us jump through hoops to exercise our constitutional rights?
- johndavidjack, on 09/06/2008, -0/+10Come on now, just because crime is high, doesn't mean that unemployment, corruption, and housing is bad in those cities...
Oh wait... - Calcularius, on 09/06/2008, -11/+2Simple: *MOST* of the mayors of major cities are Democrats.
Large cities have higher concentrations of people with higher educations.
It's common knowledge that areas where people are more educated vote Democrat.
It's also common knowledge that crime rates are higher in more densly populated areas.

Chesapeake VA Dalton Edge Republican- PuterPrsn, on 09/06/2008, -0/+2You're wrong about your "common knowledge"
The fact is that where there are large concentrations of young adults and/or on the public dole, the Democrats are the most popular party. In areas where there are large concentrations of middle-aged and older people and those who work closer to nature, the Republicans are the more popular party.
People who work for a living don't like having their work taken from them and given to people who do not labor but simply leech. They give to the needy, but do not like having their money stolen from them and spread across the drones. - zombo, on 09/06/2008, -0/+2irritating *****.

Let's look at all 48 cities the link shows from highest murder rate to lowest.
Hmmm, only 8 Republican mayors in the whole list.

- waggdogg, on 09/06/2008, -0/+5Looks like New Orleans is number one again. Sad, most of the murders are drug related. Than the gangs get even by killing members of other gangs or members of the hood. One mother gave her son a gun and told him to go and kill that n....gr. Most of out murders are young blacks in the prime of their lives. Where is the out cry? Where are the leaders of the black community? Where are the whites? Everybody, it's not my problem just ban guns and leave me along.
- PuterPrsn, on 09/06/2008, -0/+7Points up that we need more mayors like Guiliani - the only mayor to have a major impact driving crime DOWN in one of our most populous cities.
- tasine, on 09/06/2008, -1/+1Has anyone thought about the possibility that there may not be enough Republicans wanting to put their lives on hold to have the time-consuming job of mayor whereas that is how Democrats get a life?
- Calcularius, on 09/06/2008, -2/+1Right, public service is so NOT the republican style. They only take positions where personal gain is involved.
- tasine, on 09/06/2008, -0/+2Will you explain exactly how being mayor is "public service"? It isn't you know. It is a scut job for little to no pay and the only "ups" are the contacts one makes to make money from. That's why it is a democrat haven. Unfortunately for them, too many have gotten caught up in criminal activities - another democrat trait.

- Calcularius, on 09/06/2008, -5/+1Simple: *MOST* of the mayors of major cities are Democrats.
Large cities have higher concentrations of people with higher educations.
It's common knowledge that areas where people are more educated vote Democrat.
It's also common knowledge that crime rates are higher in more densly populated areas.
