I thought this was a thread about violent crime. Now we're moving the goalposts?

The national average is 288 per 100,000. Philadelphia is at 213 per 100,000.

Here are the top 10 cities for per-capita car theft:


1. Bakersfield, CA - Motor vehicle thefts per 100k residents: 905
2. Yuba City, CA - Motor vehicle thefts per 100k residents: 724
3. Denver, CO - Motor vehicle thefts per 100k residents: 706
4. Odessa, TX - Motor vehicle thefts per 100k residents: 664
5. San Francisco, CA - Motor vehicle thefts per 100k residents: 655
6. Albuquerque, NM - Motor vehicle thefts per 100k residents: 632
7. Pueblo, CO - Motor vehicle thefts per 100k residents: 602
8. Billings, MT - Motor vehicle thefts per 100k residents: 565
9. Tulsa, OK - Motor vehicle thefts per 100k residents: 552
10. San Jose, CA - Motor vehicle thefts per 100k residents: 551

I'd want to escape that city by any means possible, too. The entire Central Valley for that matter. One big collective (and very Republican) shithole.

That's not my post. You claimed I made a specific statistical claim that was false. Words mean things. What specific statistic are you claiming I posted that was false?
So dumb, your claim is included in the post using the super tech quote feature. Once again have you ever admitted being wrong or truly mentally ill? Just like your hero Trump who can be on tape saying something to deny it an hour later.

So you can't come up with anything to back up your statement. Back to spewing insults.
the question is: when exactly was typhoid mcmundus’ most recent trip to philadelphia?

did she go there to panhandle on the frankford line ?

actually, i’d be surprised if she could scrape up the gas money for the drive...
