Reagan Posted August 20 Author Report Posted August 20 I didn't notice this before: Little Rock is the 4th most dangerous and Chicago is 16th. Unless Little Rock has gone down the tubes, that does make me scratch my head about being above Chicago. DCT 1 Quote

myrecordwashorrible Posted August 21 Report Posted August 21 Don't know how accurate any of this, but an anecdotal note realted to the list. I work in Houston and people from there ask me often why I live anywhere near Beaumont because of the danger....like it or not the reputation of Beaumont is poor. When people from Houston feel their town is safer than yours that's not good. bullets13, thetragichippy and baddog 3 Quote
AggiesAreWe Posted August 22 Report Posted August 22 Where is @BMTSoulja1 to refute this nonsense? Quote
OlDawg Posted August 22 Report Posted August 22 We used to say the most dangerous towns had military bases because of the businesses they attract & other activities those businesses attract. I still think that’s true in many of these cases. The towns want the revenue from the military bases. But, they don’t like the criminal elements they attract. Double-edged sword. Near every military base is typically the ‘seedier’ side of town. That’s probably why Little Rock is on the list. Quote

Unless Little Rock has gone down the tubes, that does make me scratch my head about being above Chicago. Little Rock has been dangerous for decades. I recall watching a show in the 90s called 'Bangin in Little Rock' about the gang activity. Quote
