Most violent area

[Mortblanc]

Severly under armed????

When I was taking hand to hand and edged weapons training in the Army the DI gave the best advice I have ever heard about knife fighting.

If you want to win a knife fight,

Bring a gun!

Followed by his next bit of sage wisdom; "Even the winner of a knife fight goes to the intensive care unit."

Excuse me I have gone off the rails again.

So,,,who is planning on moving due to the BBC report?

I know that there are certain areas of the U.S. I will never live in or visit due to these considerations.

Choosing the place one lives is a large part of one's overall survival strategy.

Now comes all the posts about "I have to live here because of the wife's brother's cousin" or "my check will never get to me if I move!" or the all time favorites, "My job.....My wife....my kids...."
