My first reaction to this thread is that you're stuck in a rut. 
You're not the only one. What is your obsession with posting this depressing crap on a fish forum?
** It is Not an obsession. I found it on yahoo news and thought to just post it...I posted it simply as an interesting news story. There were cities on the list that I was surprised to even see on it. It was NOT targeted towards the East Side of the State-period!! As far as depressing--there are Far More Serious things happening across the United States....children missing-women beaten badly by their husbands-shootings in schools and malls etc. Now those Things Are Depressing--not a list of the most dangerous cities...that's mild compared to the tragedies throughout the world!!

My comment, and I suspect Marty's though we haven't talked about it and provided independent reactions to your thread, is based on the fact that you seem to post threads at least yearly pointing out that MI has a number of cities that make these types of lists. The repetition makes it seem as though you're fixated on this subject.
