Some people in the South choose to live a certain lifestyle favoring independence and solitude.  Your view of the South is clouded by your hate. Mississippi is a wonderful state. It is far safer than any liberal hell hole blue state. Detroit is a direct result of horrible government. In that neighborhood the government would pay you 5k to take ownership of a home. 

Based on the most recent CDC and FBI-backed data, Mississippi currently has the highest murder (homicide) rate per capita among U.S. states. In 2024, Mississippi recorded about 19.7 homicides per 100,000 residents.

The next highest states were:

1. Louisiana — ~15.2 per 100,000
2. Alabama — ~13.3
3. New Mexico — ~13.2
4. Tennessee — ~10.0   

 

Well this certainly makes your claims look like total BS. Must be nice to spout lies without even stopping to check if what you say is remotely true. Which 99% of the time, it isn't.

Next topic....

~25% of the state of Mississippi's murders come from Jackson Mississippi.   Who is the mayor of said town and what party is said mayor from?    Has Jackson been a blue city since 1969?

Whatever helps you sleep at night- just don't go to Mississippi or you might not wake up!

I've been to most every major city in America. You would be wise to avoid almost all of them.  Especially the blue cities in blue states. In those cities you can't even defend yourself.  My list of top 5 shit holes is St. Louis, Detroit, Kansas City, Portland, and Seattle. I haven't been to LA in the last 35 years but it may be worthy of a top 5.  Mississippi  allows for citizens to be armed. I'd rather be armed in the worst parts of Mississippi than unarmed in any other Blue nightmare city. No duty to retreat and stand your ground makes it a far better scenario.

Omg you are so full of rt wing crap. You left out Memphis, which is always around #1 in crime. Absolute crap hole compared to those others. Also, Little Rock and  New Orleans are also WAY worse than KC. 

[red viking]

Its ignorant to compare cities to rural areas for crime. Cramming a lot of people into a smaller area will ALWAYS lead to more crime. Not as many dirt poor ( eg homeless) in rural areas either because they offer no services for them in the rural areas. 

Proper apples to apples comparison is red vs blue states. 

Red states are crapholes in general, and parasites. I wish the south had won the civil war. Would love to get rid of that scum.

per capita?

At the extreme you may be correct.  If living in a county of only one person there should never be a murder correct?

Yes, per capita. More crowding = more crime.

Memphis has areas that are total run down shit holes but they have been Run by Ds for forever …. And 93% of the murders in Memphis are committed by the same part of the D party as every other Hell hole of a city in America and on that list

Unreal. Data proves you are wrong. 

[red viking]

AI: Crime is generally more prevalent in cities due to a combination of high population density, economic inequality, and structural challenges. More people mean more potential targets and interactions, while concentrated poverty and under-resourced neighborhoods often lead to higher rates of desperation and illegal economies. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

The structural and demographic factors that drive higher urban crime rates include:

• Population Density & Anonymity: Cities pack massive numbers of people into small spaces. High anonymity makes it easier for offenders to commit crimes and blend in, whereas rural areas typically have tighter-knit communities where people know one another.
• Economic Inequality: The stark contrast between wealth and extreme poverty in urban areas creates conditions for theft, property crime, and illegal drug markets. Concentrated disadvantage severely limits opportunities for social mobility and legitimate income, pushing some toward criminal activity to survive.
• Social Disorganization: Many urban neighborhoods experience high residential mobility (frequent moving), broken social safety nets, and underfunded community resources. This lack of stability weakens neighborhood cohesion, making it harder for residents to collectively enforce social norms.
• Resource Strain on Law Enforcement: Big cities have massive jurisdictions and diverse public safety needs. High call volumes and strained budgets can impact police response times and investigative resources compared to smaller suburban or rural jurisdictions.
• Higher Concentrations of Youth: Urban areas often have larger populations of young adults and teenagers. Demographically, younger populations commit and fall victim to a vast majority of violent and property crimes. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]

More leftist tolerance. You guys sure are hateful. Tell the South you want a rematch to give them a second chance. I doubt that they would lose today.

You want to cross the mason dixon line for another ass whooping? People in the south have no grit whatsoever when it comes to cold weather. If you re-fought that war again they'd get dog walked again. They even had better military tacticians than the north and still got spanked.

Should we give guys that get pinned at NCAAs a second chance to take first too?

Tyical whiney and victim mindset.

South is soft, and corrupt. Lost a war on your own turf. Yes, you'd get spanked again.

So you think I should feel safer in a blue city that most likely under reports crime and has horrible self defense laws and goes easy on crime? To you that's unreal? Is that the superior intellect of the left?

You clearly aren't following the discussion, but in typical leftist fashion you made a strawman to support your delusional narrative.

You already know I'm not from the South. I do believe if there was a civil war today it would be a very different outcome. Essentially a rural vs city civil war, or a Red vs Blue would not play out well for the guys who don't know what a woman is. The real reason the left wants to take away the rights guns is because they know it's their only chance to enslave them and force their agenda on them. Could you imagine Texas vs New York. It would be a French level surrender. No way the country boys of the South don't take the soy boys of the North on a journey through hell. 

[El Luchador]

The "country" (rural America) would have decisive advantages and likely prevail in a sustained conflict, though it would be catastrophic for everyone and unlikely to resemble a clean "win." This is a purely hypothetical, speculative analysis based on demographics, geography, economics, logistics, and military realities—not a prediction or endorsement. Real civil wars are messy, involve defections, economics, alliances, and collapse quickly or drag into stalemates.

Lots more liberals have guns than you probably realize. Yes, women can fight too. We simply don't beat our chest and brag about it. 

Also, your arsenal of 10 guns and 2,000 rounds of ammo gives you basically no advantage over my one gun with 50 rounds. All u need is one gun. 

Rural America doesn't have the infrastructure to beat urban America. Sure, maybe more guns but nor other things that are needed. Theyre also dumb, didorganized and uneducated. Gene pool is somewhat flawed too. I've known lots of farmers and they lie even more than typical suburban wingers. 

North beats the south in basically everything so I have zero doubt another civil war would be an even bigger slaughter than 1860s was.

I have 20,000 rounds of ammo at least. There is a big difference between having something and being competent with it. WW2 was won by country boys with rifle skills. The same thing would happen today. I've shot an Antelope at 660 yards and a prairie dog at 400. I guarantee no city boy that would fight with the libs would know what effects distance has on ballistics.  The city boys would wave the white flag after missing their 1st meal. The red neck boys would be dinning on wild game. The soy boys would not even be able to get themselves to the battle without public transportation.
