And San Antonio had only 13. I was always wondering why NY or Chicago are not #1. They seem very gangsta, imho. But checking the <a href="http://www.homesecuritysystems.com/crime-stats" rel="nofollow">crime statistics</a> over the US actually surprised me a lot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-18978553593818931072010-10-04T10:15:17.348-05:002010-10-04T10:15:17.348-05:00Oh Dallas.

I see why they're not proud of having the highest crime per capita than any other large city in the country, but it seems like leaving certain crimes out of their reports is dishonest...and doesn't make a lot of sense. The <a href="http://www.tgunsight.com/home.html" rel="nofollow">Dallas guns</a> laws in place are great, but there are still crimes involving guns.

Guess what stat is counted? Yup - one domestic violence call.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-10575628236892876552009-09-08T12:38:00.747-05:002009-09-08T12:38:00.747-05:00This is certainly nothing new.
