Message: <blockquote data-quote="Guest&nbsp; 85555" data-source="post: 9640154">No it just felt weird to me because I wasn't making any kind of claim trying to persuade people (I didn't even mention the city initially), I just mentioned I lived in an area with crime in passing. But looking for stats it is kind of tricky (I am seeing a lot of sites that looks kind of suspect). But this looks like it was taken from FBI data. I lived in Lynn, in a pretty dense area of the city. Like I said not the most dangerous, but not a crime free place either. This is a breakdown of the places with the most violent crime in Massachusetts. Being number nine isn't awful, but it also isn't great either. And this break down does seem to vary (I found a site that had us as number 8 instead, which is probably based on data from a different year I would imagine).

My eyes are not super great but it looks like they have Lynn in the <500 Incidents per 100k to me. So it is no Springfield, but it is also no Ipswich either. [ATTACH=full]402728[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
