Oh please! Every frigging state in the United States people are being murdered! I do not think that Detroit is any worst then anywhere else. Hell you got HBO showing The Wire! That show is centered around Baltimore. And although a lot of what you see on TV isn't always a true story it still depicts what's going on in country. CSI Miami, CSI Las Vegas, CSI New York, Every Law and Order imaginable, Cold Case Files that pretty much covers every part the damn Country! No honey---you've got it twisted! And you better check your own backyard if you're not from Detroit!

Grand Rapids took that title one year after Detroit had it, and then Washington DC has it now...and they aren't even including the murders in Iraq...

DC has that torch. Do you live in Michigan or something, you really enjoy talking about that state.

No, I believe that dubious title is now DC.
