Is it better to be murdered by someone that hates you, or to be murdered by a random murderer???

We shouldn’t distinguish between the two. Murder is murder and should be a capital offense.

In my opinion you punish the deed not the thought.

I just noticed that full vaccination against covid is given double weight compared to murders. Seriously.

Louisiana was the most unsafe state in the United States.

Personal & Residential Safety, Financial Safety, Road Safety, Workplace Safety, and Emergency Preparedness.
This doesn't surprise me, at all, and is likely very accurate. Just consider a few of their factors...
First, most of our major cities (New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Shreveport, and Monroe) are far from safe. I don't visit New Orleans nearly as much as I used to. Baton Rouge is not what it used to be. While we never felt "unsafe" when living on Joliet, we were never too far...Lafayette, overall, is dicey, and Shreveport and Monroe are run-down ganglands.
People and businesses are moving out-of-state in droves, and I can't say I blame them. That has an adverse effect on "financial safety."
The roads are some of the worst in the nation and I believe we most likely have the highest amount on uninsured drivers in the nation. I routinely see gangs of youths driving down the interstate on dirtbikes and 4-wheelers like a third-world country/Mad Max reboot.
We're constantly feeling the effects of bad weather - hurricanes, strong storms, flooding...
Other than food, LSU football, and a few festivals/Mardi Gras, the state has very little redeeming qualities.

I'm not sure why he is saying these things were excluded
It's not whether it's excluded; it's how it's irrationally weighted.
Let's just isolate 2022 Violent Crime Rates by state. The most violent state in the country is New Mexico with a rate of 778.28 (Tennessee is second at 672.70). So the metrics are weighted to such a degree that the most violent state in the Union somehow slips out of the top ten for the most unsafe states?
Now, look at Mississippi. Mississippi comes in at second in unsafe states yet has a violent crime rate of 291. It's less than a third as violent as New Mexico.
Other comparisons of interest. California doesn't crack the top ten in terms of unsafe, yet has a violent crime rate of 442.05. Compared to #8 Florida whose violent crime rate is 383.60.
Other states of note that somehow eluded the Top Ten Unsafest states:
Delaware - 431.90
Nevada - 460.29
Arizona - 484.81
The metrics as quoted by the article:
quote:
Indicators that were used to determine the safest states include: DUIs per capita, road quality, unemployment rate, debt per income, poverty rate, number of mass shootings, assaults per capita, law enforcement employees per capita, and the share of families with children aged 0 to 17 who feel they live in safe neighborhoods.
Show me where New Mexico scores low enough in any of these categories such as to counter their incredibly high violent crime rate.
Now do California ...
