The Top 10 Violent Crime States in the United States for 2022: Six of them are Republican states with the number one state being Republican too...Alaska. Only an idiot will continue blaming Democrats without actually looking at the statistics or looking to see where their state is ranked on the violent crime list. Further, take a look at the gun policies of the states listed at the bottom: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Connecticut. Look at the ranking of the following states that are best for those that want to own a gun: Wyoming, Idaho and North Dakota have an equal mixture of low violent crime and good gun ownership while South Dakota and Texas the worst mixture. Texas. South Dakota. North Dakota. Arizona. Utah. Montana. Idaho. Wyoming. For the idiots that keep trying to make it about Republicans and Democrats while failing to look at the statistics of the states...do you need for someone like me to post the statistics about the "ethnicity groups" causing the most violent crimes in those six Republican states that are ranked in the top 10 most violent crime states. Same old bullshit politics crap going into every election that continues to not be able to fix the violence because too many political idiots can not see who really are the most violent states in America and the gun laws of those states. By the way, as a proud U.S. military veteran and former gun owner...I grew up in three states in the following order: Kentucky, South Dakota and then Illinois I'm sadden to see South Dakota ranked so high in 2022 among the most violent crime states in America. My relatives have tried very hard to vote out of the governors seat the last several Republicans in South Dakota and failed as crime continues to escalate in the state (Up +300%)...all of my relatives are Republicans too but unable to get out of office the wrong person for the job after their Republican candidate didn't make it to the runoff against a Democrat. The good thing, they don't play that political deaf, dumb and blind about violent crime in their state and states with violent crime in America. They are trying hard to get the right Republican into office. Simply, just because you're a Republican, obviously the statistics don't reflect your ability to control violent crime as shown with 6 of the top 10 most violent states in America are in fact: Republican Yeah, and good morning to you too. P.S. My hunting guns (given away to my brother) are stored in South Dakota. wrbtrader
I'm guessing places like the Pine Ridge Reservation are spiking SD's numbers. That's actually the poorest place in the country.
Pine Ridge is poor and violent crime but below the national average and the average in South Dakota. Thus, not sure about it spiking the numbers. Yet, the reputation it has had for several decades and still does...car theft. wrbtrader
