The most dangerous city in America isn't Chicago, New York, or Los Angeles. It's a medium-size city in Louisiana that rarely comes up on the national radar.

Realtor.com reported this week that Monroe was ranked the most dangerous U.S. city of 2018, according to a recent report from community search engine and data provider NeighborhoodScout. Monroe, the eighth-largest city in Louisiana, with a population of just more than 49,000 people, came in second in 2017

NeighborhoodScout looked at the number of all violent crimes —including murder, rape, armed robbery, and aggravated assault—per 1,000 residents reported to the FBI to come up with its rankings. Only cities with 25,000 or more residents were included. The crime data used were from 2016, and were released in late 2017.

Actually they won this award over a year ago. Mayor Mayo said it was BS. "Monroe is not the most dangerous city in the nation. We are not."

At least include a link to the stats so we can see how well Baton Rouge and NOLA did.

This is mostly due to Phil Robertson and Uncle Si getting older and losing a little of their aim when hunting. There is a lot of lead flying around up there.

Monroe is NOT the most dangerous city even in LA. Percapita nonsense. Monroe has hoods that are so far away from the Northside, you can live there and never knew they existed.
