  • Wait, California isn't in the top ten most violent states? XDDD

  • California should be on the top ten peaceful states list

  • AAAYYYYEEEEE MARYLANDDD! WE OUT CHEA!! 301 ALL DAY!

  • So much for southern hospitality I guess

  • What the hell? I've lived in Louisiana before. It wasn't violent when I lived there

  • Oh goodness.... the Southern states are violent yet again. Figures I guess...

  • Most of the southern states are the most violent. Why!? Oh don't blame it because of the minorities. It's because low income and less jobs.

  • Violence is not a problem as long as you are killing the right people! So what if the homicide rate is high, hell, some people NEED killin' !

  • Louisiana Dumb out here

    we really got the top to murders cities in the country

    Baton Rouge and New Orleans

  • Omgosh this list is a Southern bashed video! TN? Florida? Louisiana? I just lost 10 minutes of my life watching this garbage!

  • this guys a faggit hippi

  • People would be surprised of how violent alabama is. It is above the national average and it's largest cities and even many small towns are above the state average. Not a classy place to say the least and not worth living there or investing money in business or private property, unless your in a bad situation or trash. That goes for black, white, and brown, which the majority are loud, violent, and trashy with dysfunctional homes and low iq's.

  • What if the peaceful states (majority northwest U.S.) and the violent states (majority southwest) get their influence from our neighboring countries.

  • florida is not violent

  • @RMSBoston1 BULL FUCKING SHIT!!

  • @flattsrocker15 Please be respectful and don't swear, I am entitled to my opinion and don't watch the news. I am young and your language shows me your lack of intelligence that you can't just say "you are wrong" without swearing or as spongbob would say "Sentence enhancers." I appreciate you in the future not swearing at me and try to remember not everyone appreciates such language. Thank you!

  • @RMSBoston1 okay that was not me that was josh my friend and he is searching youtube while i am finishing a book report and I just read this after what he said and id have to agree that florida is dangerous my aunt got robbed and raped while on vaction in tampa....im not joking but we will live south dakota so we rly have nothing to worry about again sorry for another persons inconsideret language

  • @flattsrocker15 You are lucky to live in SD, my dad is from Rapid City, SD so I am familiar with it and would love to visit soon. Thank you for understanding about the rude language used and I appreciate you writing back to me. Enjoy SD!

  • @RMSBoston1 wow lol I live in Rapid City to!!! xD whats his name I might know him haha

  • I'd Imagine California and Arizona would be on the bad list. California for its massive gang wars and Arizona for the Murders and kidnappings going on because of Mexican Cartel.

  • whiteboy aint lying.....i grew up in redhook brooklyn..............i thought it was bad there butin miami u dont see dudes rocking timbs or flashing......boys from ny got ran out of miami and cut and shot up for coming to south fl to miami and bragging about this and that so your whiteboy actually is telling thetruth especially when my cosuin lioves in bedstuy brooklyn........NOTHING COMPARED TO THE PROJECTS ON OPA LOCKA/LIBERTY CITY POKE N BEAN PROJECTS ITS DIFFERENT.NO PRETTY BOYS OUT THERE.

  • Why not wisconsin is peacful or deadly state?

  • @RollcatRoblox31231 wisconsin lol

  • i lived in louisiana

  • New Mexico is pretty horrible

  • alabama on deck lil niggas gibbs village

  • im in south carolina and yeah its pretty volent

  • you look like ashton kutcher

  • yay massachusetts is number 7 for most peacefull

  • I would think Florida would be the LEAST peacful state because of the whole mafia thing and California would be number 2 because of the gang wars...

  • The top 4 are the most racist states too...

  • @DAMC83 To quote House, you're taking a cup of water from the ocean, seeing that there are no fish in the cup, and jumping to the conclusion 'hey, there are no fish left in the ocean!'

  • Who do you think are the people committing the crimes? The young, poor, desperate gang members etc. If those people could vote, they'd vote democrat....So what's your point?

  • southerners lover their guns... republicans keep their guns... simple....

    not much politics... the whole ranking system is flawed...

  • Every state is violent. This is retarded

  • @NewMadrid01 NO

  • I call BS on this video. I live in Michigan that has 3 of the top 10 dangerous cities per capita. We didn't make the top 10? BS...

  • @TheJohndoemofo shut yo peaceful ass up!! lmFAo

  • Dade County Murder Capitol 305 Miami Fl, Check The Murder Weight!

  • Almost all the worst states are from the south hmmmm... retards maybee

  • Good to know Illinois isnt on here....

  • There is violence everywhere, sad to say but you can' only escape through death...what a sad world we live in sigh

  • I'd put Michigan as the most violent, sure were peacefull when you leave us alone but if you provoke us....we ge beyond berzerk.

    (Aka your dead)

  • @ckay1100 No many people are Dutch and Finnish heritage so I have to disagree.

  • Have you ever left your fucking suburb? Go to West Chicago. They'll rip your shit the fuck up.

  • Stop being so racist! It's not funny.

  • Haha the top 5 are only there because Canada is chilling next to them

  • Contrary to what TheDailyConversation suggests, this study did not find a national correlation between violence & Republican "McCain supporting" states; rather the results correlate to economic opportunity, education, health, & violent crime. Interestingly enough, Louisiana's worst crime-ridden areas largely vote Democrat (I know this from experience).

  • that's cos in the top 10 peacefull states it's too cold to leave the house... haha

  • @fjellelv Not in Utah though.

  • Damn, I'm from Louisiana and this list is heartbreaking. I thought there were other states less peaceful than us.

  • @csa2007:

    Yeah, it's pretty unflattering. We always get the short end of the stick when it comes to state indexes like this; especially when they factor in things that don't seem to immediately relate to what's being studied. Violent crimes per capita makes sense, but how the # of insured residents relates to "peacefulness" is beyond me.

  • @csa2007 I always thought the south were considered very layed back and friendly, im schocked !

  • The cities with the most crime in Tennessee such as Memphis and Nashville both vote democrat and have large % of black people. The actual places, within these states, where these crimes take place are urban areas that usually vote democrat.

  • I wonder why the most violent states have high concentrations of black people.

  • where ever the niggers are is the most violent fuckin YOMS!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @chickeneatingnigger fuck you like white people dont commit crimes. fucking crackers i hate you white people

  • @AwilDoinIt OH ARE YOU ANGRY ARE YOU GONNA GET VIOLENT? YOUR A STUPID MONKEY AND IF YOU EVER WATCH THE NEWS AND READ THE PAPER AND LOOK AT STATISTICS YOU WOULD KNOW THERE ARE WAY MORE NIGGERS IN JAILS THEN WHITES THAT'S BECAUSE NIGGERS ARE STUPID I HATE YOU YOMS!!!! I LOVE IT WHEN YOU CALL US CRACKERS BECAUSE IT BRINGS ME BACK TO THE GOOD OL DAYS WHEN MY PEOPLE BEAT YOURS WITH WHIPS AND CHAINS NOW GET TO THE BACK OF THE BUS NIGGER!!!!

  • all states are dangerous because in all of them are black people.

  • @nemmesis316 There are Black people in Canada, and we don't see them filling our jails. Maybe race has nothing to do with who is causing the violence.

  • What about Michigan? A rugged, strapping guy like you should be ok in Detroit. PLEASE, you have your head so far up the pres ass, you think all Republicans attract crime. Not to tell you where I am but I live where there little crime, a VERY diverse racial population & an average citizen can carry a pistol. (Just have to register it & have a license)

  • @popper504 My nigga u just replied on ur own fucking comment fuck new Orleans all u niggas got is fuckiing hurricanes and shit new York new jersey forever

  • @123not123fair are you dumb? New Orleans is wayyyy worse than NYC and Jersey combined!

  • Bull fucking shit how they ain't fun a have new York or new jersey up there I get my ass kicked so at least niggas can get scared when they see me

  • @123not123fair what what are you talking 'bout? 'Cause i'm talkin' about crime!

  • I live in NEw Orleans , Louisiana and the we lead the murder rate in the country the past 12 years ina row. The people in New Orleans are just nuts and have no education. normal just to go out and shoot someone over nothing. i carry a pistol with me in my car whereever i go.

  • Missouri isn't on the list? When it had 2 cities in the top dangerous cities in this country?

  • Quite surprised that Maryland is the 10th most violent state. I go to Maryland at least once a month and it's pretty nice and peaceful there in Temple Hills, MD.

  • Who is the Institute for Economics and Peace? What happened to the Department of Justice statistics?

  • peaceful states = places where people don't want to live

  • I wish you idiots would stop giving these kind of excuses to vote democrat.

  • @GoldenFlame1100 I agree, because most of the crime in the cities comes from the well fair areas of the cities. In which most of those people don't even vote.

  • also interestingly enough is most of the most violent states have a higher number of non white population verses the more peaceful states.....just pointing that out

  • @punkrockerdave Exactly

  • Comment removed

  • haha i love minnesota. There are soooo many kids in minneapolis that think it's ghetto as shit. they make me laugh.

  • To sum it up: New England region is safe while the South is not.

  • @ELIPOUL hey buddy theres no such thing as a latino race theres white which are the real descendants of spain and spanish,theres the original inhabitants spanish enslaved hence the majority of native american mexicans and central americans,then theres blacks all come from spanish speaking nations in the americas

  • Compare conservative cities within those worst states- Oklahoma City, OK; Tulsa, OK, Nashville, TN, Chatanoogah, TN Austin TX. with cities that went for Obama Los Angeles, Ca; NYC, NY; Detroit, MI, Philedelphia, PA, Baltimore, MA

  • Why don't you move to a blue city, like Detroit, LA, New Orleans, or Oakland. Then go walk down the street at night..

  • @DAMC83 It's just a weird pattern noticed. However remember this list is politically neutral, neither Republican nor Democratic has an advantage.

  • Yay for Maine!!!!!

  • I have a feeling that this was about north and south

  • washington dc,philadelphia,detroit,jamaic­a queens,compton,watts,south los angeles,east losangeles,bronx,oakland.these cities have been deemed as the most violent cities in america.some of them have been named as the murder capital of america.and they all voted blue in the last election.so what does all this prove?absolutely nothing.

  • Asshole commenting has never visited, vacationed, lived nor employed in any of the states he mentioned as peaceful and violent. This Jackass probably doesn't have friends, family nor social experiences in any of the states he mentioned! How ignorant and racist can you be!!!

  • @DAMC83 The study was slanted to the left from the beginning by weighing any portion of this on the availability of small arms. That alone has unfairly tilted the results because A) studies also find that there is no correlation between civilian gun ownership in the US and violence Try comparing Kennesaw, GA with Chicago or DC in terms of both violence and gun laws), and B) the guns themselves did not commit any crimes. This is flawed thinking at its worst.

  • One thing is for certain, blacks are responsible for the majority of crime in this country. A very large majority at that, all while making up only 20% of the population of the continental united states.

  • @pjicleanair420 I'm guessing Black and Latinos... Whites are perfect and upright in every naturally unto God.

  • @thegermanpandabear Southern States are the most Violent, most corrupt politically, most socially backward states in the Union. If we allowed the Southern States to Break away today, We could at least have clean air and gay marriage here in the North.

  • @randyseck Are you an idiot??? The South is a great and much safer,respectable, and greatest place to raise your children .....I'm a southerner born and raised here in Florida and I'm thankful I was.

  • Gross generalization. Must go by community area, and real economy and society application. NYC banks tenants out of apts, bank$ter$ offshore USA, impose destitution on industrial parts of US in all areas -- see Camden, Detroit, NOLA, etc... LA and NYC price leverage manipulated markets: "bank-out." All price, no value.

    Offshoring; g card & illegal foreign labor comes in from cheap countries -- loss of US communities

    Detroit, ESL are tough; NOLA not too bad

    Stay clean & out of trouble

  • The one thing that I noticed is that all the peacefull states are all are far away from mexico So what I get is that any state that is close to mexico is violent now you see why we need to close the boarder.

  • @vtx1300r5 Or all peaceful states are close to Canada.

  • @vtx1300r5 not really.. most of the violent states are where black people live..check out top 10 most violent cities its mostly black comunities not mexicans.! i

  • @fleiva30 New Orleans leads the murder rate for 12 years ina row. 60 percent black. Murders are 98 percent all black

  • Politics shouldn't have anything to do with this, because if you look at the list that were the most dangerous/violent are also the bigger states with some of the biggest cities in the USA. More people= more violence

  • POLITICS ARE VERY IMPORTANT IN THIS BECAUSE OF THE DIVIDE, REPUBLICAN STATES ARE STATES WHERE THE DIVIDE OF WHITES AND OTHERS ARE GREATER THEN OTHERS FROM LAWS TO JOBS AND TO SCHOOLS SYSTEMS, HE SAID THAT BECAUSE OF THE MENTALITY OF PEOPLE LIVING IN THESE STATES HAS ALOT TO DO WITH VIOLENCE AND HE PRETTY MUCH EXPLAINED WHEN HE SAID WHAT HE SAID YOU HAVE TO FILL IN THE BLANKS WITH BASIC HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

  • @DAMC83 This proves he is a liar and i won ...he blocks the truth

  • @DAMC83 This guy is a fag and moron. He will block u if you dont agree with him

  • Having grown up in Maryland I'm surprised to find that it's number 10 on the most violent list. But then again there's Baltimore, which is a fairly nice city with some pretty rough sections.

  • @Darrylizer1 yes... i live in B-more ... it may be wrong... but i like that it's on this list

  • This makes no sense what so ever. What about Cali being on the list or New Jersey or even Pennsylvania. Only Main is peace full which is true but then its just silly. And the south east states really?

  • @nigelholland3 this is bullshit, the standard response from a AA when he or she doesn't get what they want.....now this is some bullshit up in here.

  • If Obama is such an advocate for peace like this video hints, then why doesn't he end the undeclared wars we are involved in and stop all this wasteful spending overseas. Here's why because despite what your professors told you, he is just another slave to the status quo and the military industrial complex. People need to stop blindly following the President or anyone else for that matter. How about we start being Americans again and think for ourselves.

  • Funny, liberals always claim to love "racial diversity" yet the most liberal "blue" states have the highest percentage of whites. Maine (safest state) has according to the 2010 census the highest white % in the US at 94.4%. New Hampshire (second safest) is 93.3% white. It seems these "tolerant liberals" like to segregate and live amongst other whites. So what you really are saying is minorities produce the most violence, especially southern blacks.

  • @riolindasucks You just sounded so stupid right there. They like to segregate? So are you saying white people in Maine and New Hampshire literally force black people not to live there? You're fucking stupid and the reason why the South is so criminal is because most of the south is poor, racist and intolerant to blacks and stupid. Not all of the south mainly just the southeast

  • @sk8chrissupras You know you're just a fool. All you know is what every black you ever knew told you and you believed it all. And then you put your foot in your mouth with the statement "Not all of the South [is racist] mainly the South-east". On what grounds do you base your selection of the South-east as being the worst place for

    blacks? Your a fool.

  • @sk8chrissupras Ever heard of sarcasm? Nice F word drop, you must be a real tough SOB when you're safely saddled behind a keyboard.

  • @riolindasucks That was sarcasm? I think not stupid. If it was sarcasm why wasn't it made to sound like sarcasm? Got something to back yourself up? No you don't because you know you weren't being sarcastic but you just can't lose an argument so you say you were being sarcastic.

  • @sk8chrissupras You didn't get it as sarcasm because you are an ignorant adolescent who has no knowledge of politics, demographics, sly propaganda or the like. If you knew anything outside your own self-important diluted world you would see this video for the politically bias yet amusingly obvious diatribe that it is. Why don't you put the bowl down and read a few books on the subject before sounding off like a typical pseudo-intelligent.

  • @riolindasucks Haha the funny thing is I know about politics and you are obviously the fool if you say something that I wasn't even talking about before you know it. Yeah sure it was sarcasm buddy, if it was sarcasm someone would actually be able to see past it and understand but no one can because it wasn't. You are just some stubborn asshole who can't accept that he is wrong. Wanna know propaganda? "Zionists control the media." Biggest fucking bullshit. You were disproven twice

  • @sk8chrissupras Word of advice, the one who resorts to name calling is the one who admits they lost a debate and/or realized they stumbled upon territory that they have no understanding of. I hardly believe you have a clue about politics. The reason you resort to name calling is because it is a projection of inner weakness well disguised in an outward act of phony aggression. Look at me, I called you a %*@) so I win. I have too much class to fall into your pathetic trap.

  • @riolindasucks Haha and that is why I have won the last debates with dumbass far right ultraconservatives. Well, atleast you're way smarter than them. And yeah I do have a clue about politics. You can't say something without knowing it smarty. Yeah, I called you an idiot not because of insecurity but because you are. You are a fool. Anyone who assumes something without knowing it is a fool (you)

  • @riolindasucks How do I sound like a typical pseudo-intelligient? Oh right it's just your stubborn way of not admitting that I'm right and you're not.

  • @thegermanpandabear Us Northerners have the few unionized jobs left in the COUNTRY. YOU SOUTHERNS UNLEASHED WALMART ON THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!

  • LOL SOUTHERN STATES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I can believe that about Nevada. Nevada doesn't want people to know about all the crime because it would hurt the tourism. But homeless people are always getting beaten or killed. The gangs are out of control here, so are drugs and prostitution. Another crime that goes unreported is domestic violence, it is out of control as well. And lets not forget all the drunk drivers. Las Vegas, NV has so many sex offenders it is crazy. I don't know why anyone would want to raise a family here.

  • what? no michigan? this is gay

  • Comment removed

  • the fuck....no one lives in maine wtf???

  • Here's how you know you can go ahead and disregard this study as a piece of liberal propaganda:

    "Availability of small arms."

    Anyone who follows firearms news knows that without exception, crime rates decrease as availability of firearms increases.

    Stupid hippie.

  • You left out Michigan which voted for Obama!

  • WE'RE NUMBER ONE-- IN VIOLENCE!

    /Louisiana pride!

    I don't think it was needed to throw in presidential politics. The crime has nothing to do with how people vote. Most of our crime rate comes from south LA. Up here in the north it's more peaceful, or more dead, to be exact. I voted for Obama, btw.

  • i live in bama and its pretty peaceful where i live

  • detroit and cali? wtf

  • Less restrictions on firearms is generally indicative of an area with LOW violent crime. 

  • Full of shit. You cant have people in jail and availability to small arms in that, that has nothing to do with violence. This is why liberals piss me off, theyre completely braindead.

  • You look funny

  • where is california?????

  • @droga187 On the west coast.

  • @Peteyftw207 HAHA, lol

  • what about the other 30 states?. where are they.? im sorry but how can you determine this.

  • alot of these statistics are bullshit though about highest crime rate and all this and that

  • wow they fucked this up in determining the factors the percentage in jail needs to be modified to just violent because most people in jail these days are non violent offenders related to drug possession

  • Ny not a violent state, oh please, who skewed those statistics...What a crock.

  • this united state not america america is the whole continent asshole jjjajajajja amarica is from canada to argentina stupid

  • Yeah the south is pretty deadly no question about that.

  • No suprise here. The GOP claims to be "Tough" on crime yet are soft on the criminals getting the guns.

  • The more Caucasian the better. The more Negroid or brown the worse.  Its human nature.

  • They voted red, because there is a blue in office now.

  • I'm from Maryland and I just find it hard to believe that nowhere on the most-violent state list is New York or California. To me, that just makes no sense at all.

  • @jnyerere well i can see what your getting at on new york but california? they just smoke pot and chill man

    Minnesota represent

  • @fr0z0ne0wnz What about Los Angeles?

  • @jnyerere what about the other high populated cities, new york is just nyc (90% of it) and california has other cities

  • @fr0z0ne0wnz california.. oakland, la , richmond, stockton, salinas, fresno..gang infested. minnesota? does that even have ghetto..get outa here

  • @urbanvibe209 im saying minnesota doesnt have much gang violence besides the friggen native reservations ^.^

  • SOOOO, the fact that they consider 'the avilability of small arms' as proof of violence, then the study is trash. According to studies increased guns (in the US) lead to decreased crime. If they only looked at violent crimes, then I could agree with this. As for 'rep' vs 'dem', since the study is trash due to faulty logic being used for the measurment, then it goes to indicate that such a indication is also false.

  • interesting, one of the less peacefull states is Texas, does death penalty work?= NOT AT ALL..

  • @gymjustin1 Not a proof of that actually. You also have to remember that since they take 'hand guns' into effect of violence that texans are big on gun ownership, additionally, they have drug violence spilling over from Mexico that would of course increase the amount of violent crime. A very detailed study would acctually have to be done to rule out other causes.

  • what u are using police on small arms

  • what about cali???? all we do is kick back, smoke weed, and talk about random shit while getting food for the muchys

  • lousiana u know we get dumb ouchea in dat 225 we doin duffy era fukin day you know DUMB baton rouge

  • I guess Main does not have a lot of black people.

  • yeah Minnesota is one of the safer city's!

  • Be proud you a Rebel cause the Souf's gonna do it again...You can be loud here and be proud!

  • wow.....I live in Louisiana

  • hmmmm...the most "peaceful=north and most violent=south"...i think it makes sense

  • ... About. Not maw maw singing amazing grace in church on Sunday. Why don't you come be friends with the blacks. Go hug them and make peace. See how long you last. I watch the news and see people shot up and murdered almost daily. It isn't the southern baptist republican voting people doing it. Robbing and murdering and acting like they own the damn town. It's time to take it back.

  • @ ericski26 you took the words right out of my mouth. The blacks here are terribly violent. ( Louisiana )

    @Tammy you obviously don't live in a state with black thugs. You have to worry everytime you go to town. Call me bigoted racist or whatever you want but these rappin thugs who wear their pants hanging Down with their drawers showing daring you to look or say something, taking whatever they can from people and the government, flashing guns and gold teeth. These are the people to be worried

  • @pebblelake1 They're included because small arms generally lead to violent crimes and homicides. The more police, the more money it costs out of a state's total GDP, and some police are corrupt.

  • wheres illinois for the least peacfull? they got rockford and chicago!

  • @ChiefReflex and East St.Louis.

  • im scared i live in louisiana

  • 10 most violent/ 10 blackest States i
