Other than being the most violent cities in the country, 14 of the 15 cities listed above also have another important commonality. What do you suppose it might be? Hint: It has something to do with the leaders of the cities.

It said in the Clarion Ledger that these numbers were just out, Per the FBI, from 2008.

Per Article.....

The FBI report, which measures major crimes in cities with populations of 100,000 or more around the nation, showed violent crime increased in the city 9.3 percent and property crime rose 4.6 percent. The city rates buck a trend of lowering crime rates nationwide where violent crime fell 2.5 percent and property crime dropped by 1.6 percent.

The city's rate of 36 murders per 100,000 residents ranked fourth in the nation behind New Orleans, St. Louis and Baltimore. Jackson's burglary rate of 248 per 100,000 residents ranked second only to Flint, Mich.

A lot of these gangstas are what I call Katrina Trash....transplanted reggins from the hurricane. That's a key factor in the upsurge in violence throughout the south. Just a theory of mine.
