Is St Louis really dangerous for average person? |
Travel Info Is it really dangerous to the average person to live in inner St. Louis? Do they mean the "highest murder rate" or actually the "most dangerous for the AVERAGE (white or black) person to live in"? There is a big difference. Most inner city murders are black on black gang murders. If you arent a black male gang member is it really that dangerous? If so isnt this very inaccurate and misleading by the media? Travel Tips I believe that you can find the same problems that you encounter here in St.Louis in every city in America. Stay out of trouble and other peoples business and you will be fine. Its not like walking down the street someone is going to kill you but the same dangers that exist in New York and Chicago still exist here. But it isn't as rough as I think the media is trying to portray it to be. Others I've been to St. Louis several times with no problems. But you can't argue the high murder rate. What you have to look at is whether those murders were between people who knew each other or have some sort of connection (e.g., rival gangs). If so, then regular people are just left alone. It violent crimes per capita. Look at it this way. If there was one mugging in NYC and one mugging in St. Louis...St. Louis would have the higher crimerate per capita because the population is much lower. I have lived in St. Louis area all my life. I have ventured into aread they some would say are bad with no trouble. It is no different the any other major metroplitan. You have to know what parts of town have the most violence and avoid those areas. Otherwise, most places you can walk and you can drive with your windows down. Let me see....Hmmmmm, it seems I remember about 30 years ago when two black gangs shot it out at a mall in Oakland. Who got killed, not the gang members, but Innocent bystanders. At about the same time in a San Francisco Chinese restaurant, two Chinese gangs shot it out, again it was the innocent bystanders who got killed. Is the media really misleading? i don't know i haven't been there in along time. but the internet had said it was the must dangerous place to live in the midwest. so i guess it goes for everyone. i think they also said that the crime rate went up to 25% in two years. Danger is every where, now days. The data is inaccuate. They just went with the city of st. louis and not the entire metropolitan area. If you live in the county you're pretty safe. |
