New Orleans is on track to be the most dangerous, most violent city in the US for 2022 by a comfortable margin.

quote:

Cities with the highest murders per capita so far in 2022 include New Orleans, Baltimore, Birmingham, St. Louis, Milwaukee, Cleveland and others
Fox News

There are certain U.S. cities that have consistently battled violent crime — particularly homicide — throughout the past three decades: Chicago, Philadelphia, Baltimore, even New York City.

Violent crime stories out of these beloved American cities frequently make news headlines due to local and national concern for their residents and the tourists who frequent these historic areas.

Perhaps more light needs to be shed on other cities in the South and Midwest that make national headlines less frequently than the aforementioned cities but have higher or comparable murder numbers per capita (or 100,000 residents), including New Orleans and Birmingham, Alabama; as well as Milwaukee; St. Louis; Cleveland; Rochester, New York; and Atlanta.

A compilation of June police data from cities with populations greater than 200,000 by AH Analytics co-founder Jeff Asher lists the top 31 U.S. cities with the highest murder rates, in order, so far in 2022.

Two bans.

Albuquerque was surprising, didn't see that one being on there.

If Breaking Bad taught me anything, it's that the meth trade is violent

The murder rate in New Orleans is over 300% higher than Chicago.

Well done, Teedy.

NOLA is a violent city

BR is a chain infested shite hole.


Both can be true.

The violent crime is so bad in New Orleans, that it makes Baton Rouge seam tranquil by comparison.

There is no deflection or defense that can make a murder rate that high okay. New Orleans is in serious trouble.

NOPD currently has a maybe 35 patrol cars patrolling a city of 300k at any given time.

The criminal pieces of shite know its open season.

Jackson and Montgomery are under 200k people, right? So probably excluded.

I doubt they have enough murders to get close to Baltimore or New Orleans though.

New Orleans would also rank 9th in homicides among major cities in the world that are not at war, according to 2018 data compiled by the Citizen Council for Public Security and Criminal Justice, a Mexico City-based advocacy group. New Orleans saw murders rise from 119 in 2019 to 201 in 2020. That number continued to climb in 2021, reaching 218, an 83% increase over 2019 numbers.

Most violent in the US. That’s a headline New Orleans and Louisiana need to avoid.

I figured Montgomery was less than 200k. I guess everyone has already left Jackson. Thought they were north of 200 but apparently not

I agree, but I’m not sure how you change it. Latoya and NOPD can put all the police officers they can find on the streets but you can’t stop two people from killing each other. That needs to come from a complete culture change that I’m not sure is possible.
