Quest For Crime! - Episode One

Word has it, Springfield, MA, is a violent city spiralling out of control. Like any city with a large poor population, Springfield does have its share of crime. Finding it in the daylight, however, can sometimes prove to be a challenge.

This guy is making Springfield outta somthing its really not come on now i live in Boston n trust me Boston is 10 times worst. So cut the bull shit out , Springfield has bads parts trust me but far from a top 20 crime rate list

I think both the last two commenters missed the meaning of the video. The video was NOT saying that crime in (downtown) Springfield was bad. It was poofing those who say it is! It was saying crime in Springfield is EXAGGERATED --- which is exactly what the last two commenters were saying. So, not really sure if they actually watched the whole video :-\

[WDusty]

Thanks for that. Springfield is certainly not a paradise. But it is, after all, a *city*. I think some people who target Springfield's crime rate are actually miffed at urban living in general.

It's idiots like this talking like bragging about how "their" city is more dangerous than others who really need to get a life and stop being worthless low life sub humans.

I mean really, THAT'S what you choose to brag about in life?

PATHETIC.

I absolutely agree. All the people from the other citys and towns around springfield that say springfield is a horrible city only get that information from the news or other people that heard stories and blow them up into something that a million times worse.

Hmm. Worthington Street. In the daytime. In the winter. This guy needs to be here at night. Like, 1:30 or 2:00 a.m. on a Saturday(okay really sunday) morning. I'm a musician and actually shot a short vid clip of a pretty bad fight on that exact corner there, "duryea way" or whatever. After a gig at the Fat Cat.
