Memphis is representin'

[TexPatriot]

Memphis, TN. comes in as the 25th most dangerous city in the world.

Cleveland and New Orleans also made the list. There's two things they have in common. One is they're Dem. run.

FuckMexico kicked everyone's ass.

20 Mexican cities, 5 in US among 50 most dangerous in the world

At the top of the list is Haiti’s Port-au-Prince with 139 homicides per 100,000 residents, followed by five cities in Mexico: Colima, Manzanillo, Acapulco, Tijuana and Ciudad Obregón.

Fuck Memphis! That shit hole is packed with racist black fuckers openly preaching for genocide of white people, ghetto ass thug cops blocking off public streets and telling civilians that they’ll hold their guns/knives and stealing them.

I visited with my wife (pregnant at the time), my sister-in-law, and my niece. By the end of the 1.5 day trip, I was fucking twitching from staying alert every damn second.

 

[TexPatriot]

^ That was the second thing all three have in common but I didn't want to be racist for stating the obvious.

I get the pleasure of driving through Memphis about 4 times a year. Now that they put the intermodal in Fayette County, they’ve insured the whole region will be a complete crime ridden blight on the USA. Heck, even the time I took a wrong turn in Miami (out of airport) and in Philly, I was not nearly as on guard as I get going through Memphis…Though…Miami was close…and at that time (20 years ago) was worse than Memphis today.

Memphis has had NO leadership for at least 30-40 years, if ever. Just look at the Orgil Brother’s woman who was brutally murdered….that’s a great summation of Memphis.

 

[101st]

Memphis has been a crime ridden shit hole for as long as I can remember.

 

[Pharmseller]

Where does Harrisburg, OR, fall on the list?

The whole place went to hell when we got a stop light by Skip’s Chevron.

If my count is right 40% of all the cities on the list are in Mexico. We don’t need a wall on the southern border, we need a f - - king highly radioactive nuclear waste dump running the entire border. With booby traps that detonate thermonuclear bombs.

Kinda scary Ecuador has 3 cities and population wise it’s nowhere near Mexico. All the US cities on that list have been crime ridden for at least 4 decades, most approaching 6 decades.

Guayaquil has always been a shithole and very dangerous. The other two cities Machala and Manabi not so much. Since the Venezuela cancer purge, Ecuador has been completely inundated. They have pretty much had enough and are at war with the cartels after police murders and kidnappings.

 

[mosin46]

don't doubt any places mentioned in either survey are dangerous shitholes. but nothing in Asia? only So.africa in Africa? amazes me that Memphis has overtaken Miami,where still needs alertness.
there are areas everywhere that going into is not smart and going unarmed is beyond stupid.

 

[jwSubMOA]

I reluctantly go to Memphis on occasion. Fuuuuckkkk that place. You better be paying attention everywhere you go.

 

[Sirshredalot]

Really surprised chicago and indianapolis didnt make the list.

 

[BScore]

Too many Amish I suppose.

 

[NoDopes]

Sweden is the rape capital of the world. Guess that's not considered dangerous.

 

[sirhrmechanic]

Meanwhile, in Memphis….

We get lots of them from all good countries down there. Ecuador Honduras Venezuela Bolivia.

Ever been through Jackson, MS after dark? thats a scary place.

 

[lash]

Ever been through Jackson, MI after dark? thats a scary place.

Stopped and stayed at a roach motel with the wife and kids once about 30 years ago. We had been on the road over twelve hours and were beat. Speaking of beat, we beat it the hell outta there first thing in the morning.

Edit: I also meant Jackson MS.

 

[BytorJr]

Ever been through Jackson, MI after dark? thats a scary place.

Michigan(MI) or Mississippi(MS)? Yeah, I had to overnight once in Jackson, MS some 20 years ago and I ended up south of the city a hair. Yes, it was quite scary (also pooly lit then). Same goes for Mobile, AL by their airport. Yet, still nothing like Memphis for me (since I take the south loop to the Bill Morris Parkway) - the drivers who are obviously high on something, the gang members driving, and if I have to get coffee or gas in Memphis it best be during the day.


edit: yikes...I just looked at Jackson, MI crime stats.

My Miami experience was when they were redoing the ingress/egress out of the airport. I exited and made a right turn and not a left. SUPER bad. But going left ( I had to go to Coral Cables to courier something for work) was no picnic. Pretty much the only time I really wanted to have body armor, M-4, and and AC-130 overhead - people would walk across the street and pretty much touch your car. No way in F would I have a convertible. 20 years ago...I cannot imagine it's any better now.

Even the Brown Truck isn't safe in Memphis.

I guess Martez Rogers and Major Hurt wanted to get the jump on the porch pirates. "Major Hurt's" babymomma at least had a sense of humor when she named him.

I'm surprised Albuquerque didn't at least get an honorable mention. We went through there at night coming back from a mule deer hunt in Colo. in the latter part of the 70's, driving an open top CJ-5 pulling a trailer with deer, rifles and camping gear on full display.

Coming out of the clean dry desert night into that shithole was a shock; crazy traffic and oily smog so heavy it was like looking through brown amber glasses. We talked to a couple of women on the street and pulled into a nearby bar and had a drink with them only to learn they were hookers.

Upon leaving a cop pulled up and said we were crazy, leaving an open jeep full of guns unattended, even for a second. He was right.

unintentional correlation.

Mississippi. i have personal experience there. Never been to Michigan.

ABQ still rates high in crime according to one I posted. I stayed in ABQ last year downtown and it wasn't too bad; but I literally didn't venture more than 2 blocks off the interstate. 2nd time I made the trip I pushed on to Abilene.

Maybe its the work I did or the places I had to go to, but I never felt worried in Memphis (they have a big sailboat dealer there of all places) Jackson, MS, (when we trained horses, they had a huge show, got cheated out of a win there so …) and multiple shooting matches, bike races and even a nice lake. I went to school in central Mississippi and when going home, we always drove the Natchez Trace along side Ross Barnett and into the city. Been through there so often, never give it a second thought. Not a big fan of New Orleans. Tried my best to convince Mississippi to swap the entire Isle of Orleans for Natchez.

Most of my clients were respectable people living in safe neighborhoods but some lived in the worst of the worst places. Trust me, the closest I’ve ever seen to the inner city of Chicago is Lake Providence, and then there is Parkway apartments in the south side of Monroe. It may have been cleaned up but it was like really bad. (And I wasn’t allowed to carry).

So, what you do, act like you are the baddest of the bad, and they leave you alone.

yeah, I have to drive close to that on I-240. And that's where my head swivels and prays that one of those crackheads don't take me out driving. That area of Memphis is one of the worst if not THE worst.

Funny thing is 25+ years ago a buddy of mine and another aquaintence went to the St Jude Classic (I think) and got lost somewhere getting back to Arkansas (and I'm assuming they were likely DUI) and the cops pulled them over. I can almost see the place they got turned around (trying to get on I-55 bridge). First question out of cops mouth was WTF are you guys doing around here? You'll be killed in this neighborhood if we don't get you out NOW - got an escort to the Arkansas border.

WTF!!! Memphis, Baltimore, New Orleans, and Cleveland all beat St. Louis?

In fairness if Cook County weren't 1,635 square miles and didn't have a population of almost six million it would easily be the murder capital of the USA year after year. If the South Side of Chicago were it's own county it would probably be on the Ukraine level of violent deaths per capita.

In the US those cities with a high murder rate it's always localized to a small area of the city where it's all homemade jam and black, horse-drawn buggies.

When I go to FL I take 55 South through Memphis to I-22 and have zero issues never slowing below 55mph. It's when I take I-22 East to Birmingham AL that things go South fast. For whatever reason from I-22/78 to I-65 the Apple Maps wants rout you right through the ghetto, and Birmingham has a "lock your doors, roll-em-up" ghetto. There is no reason for this at all (maybe it's 1/2 mile shorter to go this way?). I think my phone is trying to kill me. I did it twice before I stopped listening to it.

I flew into St. Louis, once, when going to an IPSC match in Quincy, Illinois in the 90's.

Don't mean to brag, but in Texas, people dress with an element of pride when they fly; men wear clean slacks or jeans, clean shirt and their dress boots.

It was a culture shock when landing in St. Louis. A dark, dingy terminal and men dressed slovenly, wearing yellow windbreakers with their bowling league on back with grimy sleeves that look shellacked in dried snot, oily, dirty hair, short, nobody over 5'8".

I've driven I-22 (before it was I-22) and it takes you right into that 78 corridor as you said in MEMPHIS which is one of the worst areas of Memphis (not to mention the road looks like a B-52 did a carpet run). I haven't connected onto 22 in years in Birmingham though it was a disjointed mess 15 years ago to where you were rerouted like you said. Birmingham is generally a dangerous place and the interstate is a general CF the entire way through the city down to Hoover.

My stop on 22 was Tremont, then to Red Bay and then get on a 'Bama state road. Easier drive and no Corinth, MS stuf but don't save much time if any - besides Corinth has a couple of nice gun stores.

I used to live there, it was bad in '81. It looks to have gotten worse.
