rockandrule said:It's amazing to see what is going on in America right now. In the city of Orlando, FL alone this year there have been over 30 murders, just as far as July. Last year, Orlando posted only about 25 killings for the ENTIRE YEAR. Now I understand why I'm more comfortable going around Jacksonville at night.
I hear you.
In 2005, Hartford had 21 murders per 100,000 people -- third highest rate in the country behind Gary, Indiana and Jackson, Mississippi.
Many portions of Hartford long ago stopped being a safe place. And these statistics are down from the gang days in the late 90's early ots.
