If you listen to our progressive liberal radio show, you might be aware that I am from Florida. Specifically, the section of the Sunshine State that resembles the handle of a pan, pot or more aptly, anything of which to brain a person. BTW, we discuss this story on the 3/26/14 episode of CrabNation.
According to the MOTOVO Blog, Pensacola, FL ranks number 6 in America’s 10 Most Dangerous Small Cities. I happen to give a shit because I’m from Pensacola and my parents currently live there.
Here’s a buzz-kill of a stat, ” …it <Pensacola> ranks six places higher than the next-most dangerous small Florida city in terms of murder; Pensacola placed 10th overall in that category with 13 homicides per 100,000 residents in 2012…” The bummer blog based their findings on something called the FBI’s 2012 uniform crime report. I guess I’m not such a bad ass for living in what is technically “Little Bangladesh”, which is part of Koreatown, which, of course, is a shitty part Loser-Angeles.
And no, Nugent Disciples, arming your citizens won’t help. Guns kill people. Don’t be stupid. Check out this ABC News article that features a study that lists Gun Deaths Per 100,000 by country. Oddly enough, a certain nation that just so happens to be swimming in personal weapons of mass-destruction tops the list.
