Most Dangerous City to Live in

Do you live in one of the most Dangerous cities?

EAST ST LOUIS IN ILLINOIS has the title of the most Dangerous city to live in America. 
Let's look at a few things on why and how this could be the most dangerous city to live in in all of America.

from 2007
East St. Louis has the highest crime rate in the United States (according to the FBI's 100 most dangerous cities list). According to FBI's data of 2007, its murder rate hit 101.9 per population of 100,000, surpassing that of cities such as Gary, Indiana (48.3 per pop. 100,000); New Orleans, Louisiana (37.6); Baltimore, Maryland (43.3); and Detroit, Michigan (47.3); as well as that of its neighbor St. Louis (37.2). FBI data shows East St. Louis' rate of rape exceeded 250 per population of 100,000.

Heading into 2014  the crime rate was the highest in the Country once again, what and why is this  happening in this one city, that has a new bridge and casinos that are very busy and  it is not that bad for the eyes to look at.

So, it boils down to education and employment rate, is it there for everyone to complete

Standing up and making sure your neighborhoods are protected is a good thing, however bullets do not have names on them.
