Offseason topic: murder and violent crime rate in SEC towns...

I just noticed that Baton Rouge has the 4th highest murder rate in the nation for cities between 100,000 and 250,000 in population. It's 28.5 per 100,000. Their violent crime rate is 1082.9, 9th worst in the nation for cities that size.
Is Baton Rouge the most dangerous SEC city?
(Fayetteville, by contrast, is a decent 1.3 and 514.7, which is on par with College Station and Bryan, which are 3.1/1.3 and 500/397 respectively.)

Louisiana is essentially a failed state at this point. Corruption at every level, horrible taxes, and they are broke.
Good people in Louisiana that have had nothing to do with this, but it's no surprise the LSU AD has no money at this point.

How is that possible given their resources? Great coastal access, oil money...
How is it possible to frick things up as badly as they have?

Probably just b/c cities are typically more violent than smaller towns.

B/CS has about 180,000 population together, which is close to Baton Rouge, and Fayetteville is booming in size, and yet Baton Rouge really seems to stick out out. As I said, their murder rate is 4th worst in the nation just among towns of 100,000-250,000 people.

The Bryan/College Station MSA population is about 250,000.
The Baton Rouge MSA population is about 835,000.

Has to be genetics.

"In 1719, John Law decided to offer prisoners in Paris something they could not refuse. He offered them their freedom as long as they were willing to marry a prostitute and head off to Louisiana. Anyone who agreed to the bargain were shackled together until they boarded a ship to sail to the Gulf Coast. John Law went as far as to raid hospitals for drunks and disorderly soldiers, find prostitutes and the black sheeps of society, paupers and just about anyone who wouldn’t put up a fuss, and they were then forcibly taken to the docks to be shipped off to the colony. Those who came willingly were offered land and provisions"

Is this a typical troll for him?
B/c Bryan-College Station is more on par with Athens and Gainesville.

Not beating LSU in football since Clinton's first term makes them very insecure.

I don't understand your point. We're talking about cities, not geographically expansive metro areas.
And even if you only compare Baton Rouge to cities their same size, they are the 4th worst in the nation.

The majority of people that kill and are killed around here arrived on a different boat.

Baton Rouge has a bad crime rate.
Its always had a bad crime rate. We have a lot of impoverished black people and that usually correlates to higher crime in urban areas.
Comparing Baton Rouge to more rural college towns is just asinine.

Baton Rouge and BCS aren’t even close when it comes to metro area. Baton Rouge is a capital city with an actual downtown. College Station is a college town (go figure) with no real downtown except some Main Street drag like Bryan.
To answer your question. Baton Rouge is probably the most crime ridden SEC city, but what other cities in the conference are actual cities and not college towns? Lexington, Knoxville?

Nashville...
But its like an oasis in the South that other cities can't compare to

and two cities worse according the the "data" in the OP are Birmingham and Jackson. What do these three cities have in common? They are the largest cities in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. I'll go out on a limb and say if you expanded that to larger cities, Atlanta and Memphis would be towards the top as well. Southern states are poor and uneducated. Poverty and lack of education breeds crime. This is not rocket science.

It's pretty remarkable how Camden, NJ and Flint, MI stand out way above the rest of the cities in their respective categories.
