"Emerging crime capitals of America: These cities have the highest
murders per capita

Cities with the highest murders per capita so far in 2022 include New
Orleans, Baltimore, Birmingham, St. Louis, Milwaukee, Cleveland and others"

"There are certain U.S. cities that have consistently battled violent
crime — particularly homicide — throughout the past three decades:
Chicago, Philadelphia, Baltimore, even New York City.

Violent crime stories out of these beloved American cities frequently
make news headlines due to local and national concern for their
residents and the tourists who frequent these historic areas.

Perhaps more light needs to be shed on other cities in the South and
Midwest that make national headlines less frequently than the
aforementioned cities but have higher or comparable murder numbers per
capita (or 100,000 residents), including New Orleans and Birmingham,
Alabama; as well as Milwaukee; St. Louis; Cleveland; Rochester, New
York; and Atlanta."

Portland doesn't crack the top 20. Atlanta comes in there at #7
with a rate of almost 15 per 100,000. New Orleans is at the top of the
list at 36.8. Using the homicide numbers that were current yesterday, if
my math is correct and rounding up a little, the homicide rate in
Portland is 1.4 so far this year.

Who knows? Maybe the local idjit can figure it out if I show him
some pictures? Just a suggestion, after looking at the numbers and the
faces: Don't hang out in rough neighborhoods while Black or Brown.

Pssst, if I'm murdered here the most likely suspect is my wife.
Pass this on to the local authorities if something happens to me. lol Otherwise, as I have previously mentioned, I'm pretty damn safe here.
