The Tigers Were Lucky To Get Out Alive

The report on the safest and most dangerous cities came out today, and it looks like the Detroit Tigers were lucky to get out of St. Louis alive:

Just days after the St. Louis Cardinals won the top honor in Major League Baseball, their hometown jumped to first place on a list no one wants to lead: the most dangerous cities in the United States.

This Midwestern city has long been in the upper tiers of the annual ranking of the nation's safest and most dangerous cities, compiled by Morgan Quitno Press. Violent crime surged nearly 20 percent there from 2004 to last year, when the rate of such crimes rose much faster in the Midwest than in the rest of nation, according to FBI figures released in June.

"It's just sad the way this city is," resident Sam Dawson said. "On the news you hear killings, someone's been shot."

The ranking, being released Monday, came as the city was still celebrating Friday's World Series victory at the new Busch Stadium. St. Louis has been spending millions of dollars on urban renewal even as the crime rate climbs. ...

The second most dangerous city was Detroit, followed by Flint, Mich., and Compton, Calif.

What do you have in common with all three cities? They're run by Dems. And while the cities fail, the same corrupt and inept Dem politicians will be reelected and the slide into chaos will continue.

On the flip side of the cities report, we have these safe havens:

The safest city in 2005 was Brick, N.J., population about 78,000, followed by Amherst, N.Y., and Mission Viejo, Calif.

We're number three! We're number three!
