A city in California is listed as the safest large city in America. That city is run by a conservative Democrat who is really a Republican. According to the internet, he was "endorsed by Republican after Republican". An internet links claims he is "a dyed-in-the-wool Republican ".

"Most deadliest" is a common phrase. Do you write "You're Welcome" or do you wrongly write "Your Welcome"?

In the Bay Area,California crime is almost everywhere and it just so happens that almost all of the people we have running this area are mostly Liberal or Democrat.
Most of the citizens are Liberal or Democrat and the whole atmosphere reeks of Political Correctness and dysfunction.
And not only that but the people seem detached from reality and unable to reach on any sane level.
Can you believe that San Jose,California was recently voted one of the safest cities in the United States in which to live?
What a crock.
I'd like to see someone like Barbara Walters take a stroll through downtown San Jose during Cinco De Mayo day and make it out alive.
That would make headlines for sure.
But the odds of that happening would be zero to none as if she actually did take a stroll through downtown San Jose during Cinco De Mayo she be pushing up daisies within a matter of weeks.
I think the reason why Democrat run cities are so filled with violent crime is simple.
The laws are lenient and gun control is strictly enforced to the point that most of the people who own a gun are criminals because law abiding citizens aren't allowed to have one.
But my question is this:
Where would you rather be?
Behind bars or 6 feet under?
I would rather be behind bars for breaking the law for defending myself while using a gun because at least then I'd still be alive and my son would still have his mommy.
That is why we want to leave California and never come back.
I'm thinking Tennessee or Alaska would be more suitable for us and the sooner we relocate the better.

I just moved from a low key conservative town in N. California to a radically liberal town of about the same size just 40 miles away.
There is a world of difference between the two. Now I live among overwhelming and obvious poverty, homelessness, the constant sound of sirens, fighting in the streets, drug and alcohol abuse, crime, lack of ordinances, poor planning and debris piled high in front yards despite the fact that there is actually more wealth where I presently live.
The liberal community leaders here simply don't have a handle on anything.
I can't wait to move back to my former well kept and well planned town where a woman can actually go for walks alone after dark and ride her bike alone without fear. Here, I don't even feel safe taking a walk at noon.
I have found that the workings of liberalism have exactly the opposite effect of their intent. This town with its myriad of social problems is much more depressing and totally oppressive.

ok mister historic previous important (heavy sarcasm) answer me this. The Iraq conflict ended 4 years in the past. This 2nd conflict, against the insurgency, began later. How could human beings have been killed with the aid of eastern insurgents in the process the allied occupation of Japan after international conflict 2? i will provide you a sprint. the respond is below a million. once you are going to spout historic previous then comprehend your data. FDR did no longer lead us into international conflict 2. an argument may be made that we'd are turning out to be into it is going to honestly yet all that rather concerns is the way it easily befell. Japan attacked us and we declared conflict on Japan. Hitler then made one in each and every of his best blunders with the aid of honoring a treaty he had with Japan and affirming conflict on the US. After he did that, the US declared conflict on Germany. there became into no different selection.

This question hits home for me more than you know right now.
I live in Michigan, and even though I am on the western shore, I have lived here all my life and for the first time am contemplating leaving because of the Democrat Governor.
TODAY, I tried to get a PPO for my daughter against a drunken neighbor that forced food down my daughters throat and made her vomit! The judge, (Liberal) denied the order because he didn't see that my daughter had suffered irreparable damage! THE VICTIM has no rights anymore. The people that commit the crimes have rights, bullshit!
P.S. Check the unemployment rates of the states with Democrat leaders. MICHIGAN is the highest in the nation!
Also, did you ever notice that if there is a problem with the state that a Democrat Governor blames it on the past rather than excepting responsibility and dealing with it?
Even the Dems that voted for Granholm here in Michigan are kicking themselves now!!!!!

Mostly because liberal are stupid brain dead liberal idiots, and want to blame inanimate objects for all the deaths instead of who really commits all the murders and that is the criminals. These stupid brain dead liberal idiots love their criminals and coddle them like little children, then blame all the murders on a piece of steel that can do nothing on it own. If firearms cause crime why is it only firearms in criminals hands that murder people, and the other 100 million firearm owners owning 300 million firearms are not murdering someone?
“Gun violence” is an intentionally misleading term that the liberal gun control bigots use to inflate firearm-related mortality. The largest source of deaths from guns in the U.S. remains suicides, although nobody would refer to other common means of taking one’s life as rope violence, bridge violence, or pill violence. Needless to say, the guns themselves are not behaving violently.
If the liberal gun control bigots were truly concerned with the safety of our children, then they would be whining about the dangers of swimming pools, cars, dangling cords, plastic bags, poisons, and flammable objects, as these things account for far more child deaths than do firearms. But they didn’t even mention these items because they have an agenda, and that is only gun control, not the concern for children.
Like most liberals, the liberal gun control bigots stand on the caskets of dead kids and asks for “common sense gun control”. These liberals don’t ask for common sense laws for any of the other deadly items, only guns and ammunition. This is how I can tell if a person’s argument is valid or not.

Blaa, blaa, blaa, aren't they all people? Democrates and republicons? Everyone has red blood, and everyone has different idea's. But they all have one thing in common. They are only as good as their women. Humm, maybe Hillary can help, she has been in the white house before, she can't help it if her man was a skirt chaser. Got to give her credit for standing by her man, even if he was wrong. She ran the white house, he was too busy getting hum jobs to run the government.

What is the website you gathered your information? I was looking on FBI site, http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/ucr.htm and did not see anything that showed rankings.
They also have the 2005 results, any reason you choose not to use the most updated information?
You, my friend, need a lesson in statistics.
First, what is the percentages per capita? Larger cities will have a larger amount of crime in volume.
Larger cities are primarly democratic. It is their suburbs where the richer people live.
Where are the statics for the surrounding communities?
Another BIG issue... Who were the previoius mayors and what was their political party? Sometimes it takes years to undo the errors of previous leaders..
What is the overall trend? Most of the charts I saw on http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/cius_04/documents/CIUS2004.pdf showed a downward trend in crimes, which may mean the democrat mayors are IMPROVING THE CITY.
If you look by region, the bible belt has more crime than the north east and upper mid west..
If you look by state, many states with rising crimes, are lead by republican governers.
I am sure you did not read all 500 pages of the document..
The beauty of using statistics, is you can distort them to suit your needs..The media uses this against us, as do our politicians..
Dont believe me? Try reading Freakonomics... http://www.freakonomics.com/thebook.php
Here is a guy who can prove using numbers that legalized abortion results in lower crime rates..

I'm a Republican and I can honestly say that most of these cities are filled with minorities such as African Americans and Hispanics. African Americans vote 90% democratic and Hispanics are not far behind. It wouldn't matter if a republican was in power in these cities, or if it did barely.

Have you noticed how big those cities are?
it would appear to me, that the solution to your question lies in the fact the majority of voters in those cities are smart, along with the fact that the larger the population, the higher the probability of poverty and drug terf wars, which translates to a higher probability of violent crime.
