Democrats and Crime
Earlier this week, I saw a headline, on AOL, entitled the “25 Most Dangerous Neighborhoods in America”. The list was compiled by Dr. Andrew Schiller and the NeighborhoodScout.com and is based on FBI statistics. Dr. Schiller’s study took into account the following violent crimes: murder, forcible rape, non-negligent manslaughter, aggravated assault and armed robbery.
As I perused the list, I thought I began to see a certain commonality, regarding the cities, in which the neighborhoods are located. Take a look at the following list and see if you notice a trend.
