Yeh I'd listen to him.
Here's his "study " on Wallethub? What?
Scroll through the article and get to the methodology section. Have fun.

I noticed that the indicators leave a bunch of shite out that speak directly to citizen safety.
How do you leave violent crime rate out of a survey analyzing citizen safety?

I agree with it. Have you tried merging in this state?

Yea. Most of these southern states have been poor for a couple hundred years. It will turn at some point.

I don't think that would have helped Louisiana

I'm not sure why he is saying these things were excluded

I haven felt the need to carry a gun since moving to Florida.

With the exception of Montana and Missouri they are all southern ish?

So blue cities in the south and Montana...
Is there any doubt that New Orleans was the driving force behind this victory for Louisiana?

LINK to actual wallet hub study.
Go look at the methodology. 15% of the safety scoring is about natural disasters that cause $1 billion in damage.
For the personal safety score, mass shootings are rated the same as suicides and a bunch of other stuff.
I appreciate what the study is doing, but I feel like the weighting of the categories are off.

I also find this to be amazing given how the definitions for what constitutes criminality have changed.

It is.
These lists always contain categories that are marginal and the weighting is suspicious. Other lists I've seen are much different.
I think they just make up methodology

I mean, they listed hate groups per capita and hate crimes per capital as the same as theft and half as murder.

Right, but New Orleans IS the problem along with the other large Democrat city of Shreveport. Northerners blame it on stupid, uneducated rednecks though.

Well to get to South Carolina to visit my daughter I may have to go through Arkansas to get to Mississippi and beyond. But that list doesn't look good in any way to me.
I would usually defend Arkansas in threads like this, but if the east west interstates in Arkansas aren’t the most dangerous in the country, they’re in spitting distance of the front of the line.
