Yes, but then again, there are much more socialist cities that don't have corresponding levels of high violence. Surprised that some cities are missing like NYC and Washington DC.
Cities tend to attract Dems. Very few Republican municipalities.

Yeah, what did happen to DC that it was knocked off the top ten? What a disappointment that must be. Get the word out so they can up the killing rate.
