Most Dangerous Cities In America 2013 (PHOTOS)

With crime rates dropping on average nationwide, residents in some of the country's most violent cities didn't have much to celebrate.

Violent crime dropped in only half of the cities ranked by Law Street as the nation's top ten most violent.

The site looked at murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault numbers in the first six months of 2013 and compared them to those same numbers in 2012. The data was based on the FBI's Uniform Crime Report. Law Street only considered cities with at least 200,000 residents, which means towns like Flint, Mich., were spared a spot on the list. Take a look at the results in the slideshow below.

See the list at the link.

Libs don't think Chicago has a problem.
They feel the city is getting a bad reputation from republicans.

Chicago crime stats are shady at best... many aldermen are questioning the numbers.

Many Chicago neighborhoods may not be at the top of the sewer list, but it's still way up there on the sewer list.

And by the way, stop saying Pol Pot killed 3 million people !!!!!!!
That is fucking rude, and racist !!! He only killed 2 million !!!

Just like the Wild West. But the numbers back then were never accurate or even close.
