You guys know how much I love to brag about my city. Well, another great stat for Saginaw. We have been rated the #1 most dangerous city in America with populations over 25,000!
:pritch:
WE'RE #1! WE'RE #1! WE'RE #1!

The crime maps attached are really interesting, because they break down the neighborhoods by safety. It's also a good representation of why The Wire's East Baltimore vs. West Baltimore thing is so simplified.

That's very strange that Myrtle Beach and Florence (two places I visit as I have relatives there) are higher than freakin' Baltimore. I know MB is fairly bad but even still, that's pretty shocking to see.
And WTF Salisbury? #4???
Yeah, for Saginaw it shows how centralized the crime is. Pretty much anywhere near the river is bad news. That's where my wife and I lived for the first couple years we were married (because that's what we could afford), but I grew up in one of the blue areas, so as much as I rag on my town, I haven't been very affected by it. The public schools are garbage, and I've had my car broken into a few times, but otherwise I've caused more crime than I've been victimized by it.Quote:

Colorado couldn't even make the list. We suck.Quote:

Having watched The Wire, I believe that Saginaw is not the most dangerous city... just the one with less cops willing to juke the stats.
They're good at covering up shit apparently.Quote:

This is a weird request, but does anyone know of anywhere where you can torrent articles like this. or any site that helps with finding professional research papers?
Oh my god, that's horrible.
The cat's reaction is awesome. He's like... "hit me? take this!"
I'm with you quite a disturbing video and a good example of child and animal abuse. That kid is obviously crying throughout the whole thing as he's attacked by an animal while his "parent" films it laughing. And as a cat person who has had multiple cats my whole life (4 at the moment) I can tell by the way it's behaving that the cat has been seriously abused or is feral.Quote:

What fucking asshole would film that?
Russians.
I've known some male cats to be that aggressive if they're not fixed, particularly if they're being harassed.Quote:

To cleanse your brain from that, here is a porcupine who gets adorably upset when asked to share his corn on the cob.

I hate the cat and try to have as little interaction with it as possible.Quote:
