Location is a predictor of crime? Can you expound upon that? Is it related to the moon's position for different locations? Gravity? Northern lights?
Edited. Meant to put size not location.

If your arugment is that the bigger the city the more crime then compare BR and Portland.
Portland should have more crime per 100,000 based on your argument. I think you'll be shocked.

I'm sure I would be. Never heard of much going on in Portland. I was just saying collectively bigger cities usually have a higher crime rate. That's all.

I'm surprised to see Fayetteville that high, although the homeless problem has gotten out of hand here (thanks liberals).
There have been at least two homeless-on-homeless murders here in the past year.

That's your perception. Now check to see if it's reality.
Compare NYC to BR.
I think you'll learn something new today if you take the time.

Elaborate a little more on this.

BR has more poverty than Oxford or Auburn would be my guess. Probably more gang activity and drug crimes as well. Lots of factors including race which I know is what you were asking him to say out loud.

It is a perception type of thing. Most would assume that the bigger the city the more crime, and I'm guilty of that because I've never actually sat down and looked at crime rates across the country.

Would most do that though? It's not about popluation size.
The different factors are interesting to look at if you ever have the time.

The most alarming thing about Baton Rouge for you young fellas is the abundance of aids in Baton Rouge. On a floor of 21 PT's we would have up to 4 or 5 patients at a time with it in varying degrees. Obviously effected the young population more but I will say there are a lot of elderly ladies being treated for herpes and other STD. I guess viagra is a hell of a drug.

There's not much to elaborate on. They're just two completely different locations. Baton Rouge is a major city and Oxford is a small college town basically in the middle of nowhere. Oxford is very compact, Baton Rouge is spread out. If you've been to Oxford and Baton Rouge, I shouldn't have to explain the differences between the two. It should be a given.

Will do. Like I said, I've never sat down and actually looked at crime rates of cities. Just assumed with a bigger city that the crime rates would be higher per 100,000. I may be dumb for thinking that, but I'm always up for being proved wrong or learning something new.

Whoa. I just realized I've never seen a black person eat a corndog. BRB....gonna go watch some black people eat.

Broadly speaking his point is pretty accurate. Higher population areas do typically have more crime on average than lower population areas. However, you can't really compare separate regions of the country that are more apt to have vastly different laws, different cultures, completely different approaches to laws and law enforcement practices (even including something as simple as how aggressive policing is/how many LEOs are employed by a city and what the expectations are for officers), vastly different standards in education as well resources and programs for youth and young adults, wide gaps in the social services and programs provided to the population at large, and very different support systems for those populations most at-risk of being victimized by violent crime or becoming violent offenders themselves as readily as you can with those within the same regions that more or less share those things in common with one another. And that doesn't even scratch the surface when it comes down to it. Too many factors but the overall generalization is true even it is flawed by being a generalization (which all generalizations are).

No, Starkville is the very definition so shithole. You are just ignorant.

If you want the stats for actual LSU fans, move the decimal point to the left and divide the number by 2.
