THey pretty much are. Just saying. Cities in the south that aren't shitholes?------DFW area, Austin, certain areas in Tampa, and Nashville.

It's all about the demographics.

If you're out late at night in Jackson, yeah, you're looking for trouble. If you're out late in Flowood or Madison? You have maybe five minutes at best before the cops come up on you.

This is fairly accurate, some more than others. It's not just Southern, you can add Detroit and Chicago to the list. Then ask yourself about the one common thread they all share. Well, more than one, although the elected "leadership" is directly related to the first commonality.

If one is concerned about being the victim of a crime, this is unquestionably the case.

Chicago doesn't belong in a group with the rest of those cities.

Just realized you were in City Park at 1230 am. Not a good idea at all.

I generally agree, but those that brag about small towns and such and slam cities bother me for some reason.

Most of the small towns in La, MS, and AL are full of poor trash and there is no quality of life there. Sure the crime rate might be a little lower.

I love the city of Chicago and have spent time in south side.

South side is one of the worst areas of the country and is part of the city of Chicago

Not sure why you think that doesn’t qualify as making it partly a shite hole.

And to just reiterate, I love the city and go multiple times a year.

Birmingham is safe too imo. The riffraff is pretty segregated over there.

So because one area of Chicago is bad you are ok with lumping the whole city as a shithole?

The rest of the city and it's major suburbs seem damn nice.

Because all the shittiness is segregated to one remote part of the city. Not to mention it actually has redeeming qualities (so does New Orleans).

The other cities have no redeeming qualities and have ghetto trash everywhere.

I mean come on dude. You don't just hang out in any park in a major city at 1am

I do feel fine doing that just like you feel fine making sweeping generalizations of everyone else’s towns and cities. What’s the problem?

Of course not, but you're not going back to kill him you're going back to investigate, maybe get better ID, location or direction he went, etc, and then when he suddenly turns toward you, you're shooting in self defense.

You're not legally prohibited from the area just because you were just robbed by a thug.

Small towns in the South tend to suck because they're typically a mix of rednecks and ghetto trash.
