I agree. I have worked in the Anniston area for the last several years. Many of the people who work at our plant are "hood" types. Even most of them know to stay away from the Norwood part of town.

You err been on tha hill? [/quote]

I went to school at Snead State in Boaz and worked in Boaz for about ten years. I have been all over "Meth Mountain". I have a friend who lives on "the hill" over off of Rayburn Ave. Not the optimal place to live, but I never felt like I was in danger from being there.

Occasionally, I used to go through the "Little Mexico" section of Albertville to buy salsa at a Mexican market. Most of the Mexicans are workers who just want to be left alone and try not to draw a lot of attention to themselves.

Even though there are lots of meth people, most of them don't kill or hurt anyone. They will steal anything to make a quick buck.

Contrast that to the north side of B-ham. Go back behind the Civic Center and get lost in that area at night.

Talk to someone who as ever worked the night shift at Union Foundry in Anniston. Ask how safe they were going to and from work. Even the cops don't want to go there. A while back, I stopped at McDonald's in Anniston and had a crack head trying to open my car door as I pulled away from the drive through.

You can go by the data if you want to, but I was raised with enough common sense to know a bad situation when I see it. I would take my chances in Guntersville or Arab any day over some of the other places I have been.

I really expected Tuscaloosa to rank high on the list. They've had a lot of shootings lately.

Look, the burglaries are what skewed the numbers for Arab. Burglary is not considered a property crime or a theft. It is considered a crime of violence. Always has been. The last person executed in Alabama for something other than murder was a burglary case. Murder, rape and robbery were low numbers, but, burglary was very high for a town that size. Burglary usually goes along with drugs.

You haven't been many places then. Gville and Arab are the meth Capitol of the south...

I had a normal day of work yesterday and drove 403 miles. I spent most of the day in Tuskegee. I work all over the south east, live 12 miles from Arab and my office is in Guntersville. I had rather walk through Arab night or day unarmed with a sign saying I have one million dollars and no gun as to eat lunch at some places I have been. Just my 2 cents.

those statistics is just crime compared to population, and are very misleading. im sure the people who come up with that hasnt been were its dangerous. the gump, port city, and magic city. are the most dangerous in the state imo, but theres alot of folks living there. And as far as meth capitol. Goodman community is in the heart of the 600 block of coffee county, and will give any area a run for its money. Its not a dangerous place, just active.

My only question after seeing the list is why are y'all so violent in North Alabama? Now I understand the Drive By Truckers lyrics from "Never Gonna Change", "Strong like the people from South Alabama and mean like the people from here." laugh

That list makes me wonder how much Todd Strange and his regime paid to keep Montgomery off the list. Maybe the guy that put that together should do a 5 mile walk from Smiley Court to Capital Heights one Saturday night and see if he actually makes it alive.

We've all heard one too many wise cracks about our overalls, so over time we just get a short fuse. I even bought me some Bob Barker flip flops so I could jack slap people with them.

This is a quote from the Mayor of Guntersville;

"For those that read the story posted by news station WKRG about Alabama's 15 most dangerous cities listing Guntersville and Arab--- I have checked into where the story originated, and it appears it was from data prepared by Safe Choice Security which sells home security systems. The police department contacted the company by phone to request the data used in their claim, and they hung up! The police have also contacted the station WKRG expressing concern about them airing a story which in my opinion grossly misrepresents our City and County."

The backlash from this may end up being more than the security company bargained for.

Nice find. I almost posted last night that I wondered who paid this company to do this study. It is apparent now they likely did it for business. Follow the money. I was wondering why Montgomery and tuscaloosa didn't find their way onto the list.

That is very interesting. Because if you noticed. The BIG crime they listed was burglary. Alarm company, claims of burglaries. Very interesting.

So let me get this straight the media is posting inaccurate info. That could purposely be biased. And it was orchestrated to benefit someone else. I reckon next you also gonna tell me that politicians are crooked too.
