66% of refugees are male. 70% of male refugees are under 30. Not all of them are Syrians though, so my best guess is 200'000 men. How much is that in platoons or batallions or whatever? However, among them there are many husbands and fathers and university student internet nerds... |

That describes exactly the Muslim who shot all those people in Calif last week. What a coincidence. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

200,000 men is an army. Properly equipped, trained and motivated, they could challenge ISIS. |

Oh, Detroit is not that bad. I haven't been there since 1989, but if it were as bad as you say, we would bring in the military to restore order. I'd hazard to say that the crime statistics for Detroit are not significantly different from other midwestern cities of comparable population. EB is from northern Michigan. He probably wants nothing to do with Detroit, but maybe can chime in anyway. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

West MI and we have nothing to do with East MI. Ask Ibeatyouraces, he lives in Detroit. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I've had that discussion about Harrisburg, the capitol of Pennsylvania. On paper it looks like a criminal nightmare with a peak of 16 murders in 2009, a very high rate for a city of 50K people in about 5K acres of land. But many people point out that it is an incredibly lively city for such a small town, bolstered by thousands of young people working for the state government. You simply know that some neighborhoods are full of crack dens, but they feel there is not reason not to live in the city. In 2014, there were 298 murders in Detroit, down from 316 murders in 2013, but a Michigan Metropolitan Information Center study has routinely shown crime in Downtown Detroit (CBD) is much lower than national, state and metro averages. But still those statistics give you pause MURDER RATE St. Louis 318,574 population w/159 murders or 49.9 per 100,000 Detroit 684,694 population w/298 murders or 43.5 per 100,000 Harrisburg 49,109 population w/17 murders or 34.6 per 100,000 Las Vegas 1,530,899 population w/122 murders or 8.0 per 100,000 New York City 8,473,938 population w/333 murders or 3.9 per 100,000 Seattle 663,410 population w/26 murders or 3.9 per 100,000
That statement is probably a stretch Violent Crime per 100K - Michigan - Population 1,989 Detroit 684,694 714 Grand Rapids 193,385 475 Warren 135,080 169 Sterling Heights 131,604 165 Ann Arbor 117,768 1,117 Lansing 113,901 1,708 Flint 99,166 299 Clinton Township 98,897 355 Dearborn 95,396 127 Livonia 94,833 132 Canton Township 89,073 60 Troy 83,279 361 Westland 82,246 116 Farmington Hills 81,682 124 Shelby Township 76,556 1,165 Kalamazoo 75,857 387 Wyoming 74,603 314 Southfield 73,321 115 Waterford Township 73,308 76 West Bloomfield Township 66,222 |

Detroit is a very large city geographically. Parts are going to be not that bad, parts are clearly a no-man's land. The President is a fink. |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25010 | Flint is the worst, mostly black. It's the only city I've been in where house after house on street after street, had bars on every window and door, even the small basement windows. Burglary is a way of life there. Lansing is a college town and the capital, that stat suprised me. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I won't participate in a poll unless the bigot option is available. I am intolerant of certain people, but unlike the Church, at least I admit it. Certain people have try much harder to convince me they can be trusted. It's called being victimized by certain people in the past. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
