Here is the list by the way of the REAL most dangerous cities in the U.S.:
1. Detroit, Mich.
2. St. Louis, Mo.
3. Flint, Mich.

Damn...Vegas didn't even make the top list. That seems impossible from what you are saying. By the way that list is from this URL: http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0921299.html
A couple of minutes on Google is always helpful to find out real information.
Sorry to hear about your immediate family that were killed. But it's not an indictment on the entire city. Fact is...living here is very nice. |
Thank you for your condolences.
I know a handful of people from Vegas, some of them might be considered higher risk- tattoo artists, bouncers, etc, but some of them are straight edge and live drug free lifestyles and some of them are just your average middle class joes. Every single person has told me some story about how at one time or another they were robbed or ripped off in some crazy way.
I did do a little google fu but didn't want to take the trouble to post it, but since you brought it up I googled "most dangerous us cities" and the first link that was returned was Forbes list of the most dangerous cities for 2009.
According to Forbes Vegas is the 4th most dangerous city in the US:

Obviously, my opinion is tainted, I will admit. I can only base my opinion based on my own personal experiences and I know alot of people from many walks of life, and while not every single one had a gun placed to their head every single one of them has been touched by crime. If no one in your circle of friends out there has ever been a victim than yes, I'm pretty amazed. Best of luck and genuinely hope if that's the case it stays that way.
