TDS inflicted and anti's like to squawk "Red states are more violent hur de hur" yet ignore the fact that almost universally it's due to blue, urban pustules like Nashville and Memphis. Together they account for 20% of the state's pop. but over 60% of the homicides/violent crime.

Trying to get them to explain why, especially since the gun laws are universal across the state, always resorts to the usual insults and looping back to 'red state' repeated ad nauseum.

For nationwide stats, it is more of an issue when NYC or LA don't report than if a small city or county in the outback doesn't report.

People used to go to the city from the suburbs for work. Now they can work from/in the suburbs. The cities are dying, nothing left but leaches.
