Yeah, I believe it was either number 1 or in the top 5 of most dangerous cities recently.

Police don't think the 3 shootings were related...

Surprising this would happen in Wisconsin. I always though of Wisconsin as a small populated area. My bad. I really like the statement "They don't think the shootings were related" Oh rly?

Milwaukee? Are you crazy? Two of the top five were in Michigan - Detroit and Flint. I know baltimore/dc, NYC, LA and Chicago are also a lot worse.

Ahh, guess they have improved alor, from wiki:
"Although Milwaukee has had a reputation for high violent crime rates, actual violent crime has declined substantially since the late 1990s: For several years, Milwaukee ranked among the ten most dangerous large cities in the United States,[30] however in recent years, Milwaukee no longer appears among the top 25 most dangerous cities.[31] However, despite its improvement, Milwaukee still fares worse than average when comparing specific crime types to the national average (e.g., homicide, rape, robbery); only aggravated assaults occur less frequently in Milwaukee than the national average"

Milwaukee is pretty big. It's bigger than Seattle, Boston, and Denver.

Other than that, it is pretty sparsely populated.

That's why I don't go anywhere near downtown at night. And why I'm happy living out in Waukesha. :)
