what are you referring to? cleveland doesn't have 10-15 murders a year.. that is so far, this year.. we usually have around 100, but i think last year it was just below that

I figured that was a low ball. That is why I made the comment.

We were over a 100 last year, the year before we were at 134 (or around). Our homicide rates/total homicides is higher than nearly every city in Florida. So of course it doesn't help that we don't have palm trees . But people have to take into consideration that our Metro area is pretty darn safe!

Wow, 10-15 for the whole year. We had at least that many in just the MONTH of Jaunuary. Jacksonville is almost 2 times bigger than Cleveland too.

Im going to assume that you didnt actually think Cleveland had 10-15 murders per year. Look it up, it only takes a second.

Cleveland actually has near 10-15 murders per month. Last year we had 102 murders. 2005-109, 2006-119, 2007-135. Jacksonville actually had over 120 murders in 2007, but it has 360k more people than Cleveland. Cleveland is much more dangerous than Jacksonville. I dont mean to attack you, but Im just saying you had a lot of errors in that post.

Man this is shaping up to be a bad bad year homicide's number wise. Apparently the thugs last year are now all catching up by murdering people they didn't get to last year.

The girl who was accidentally shot in Elyria died, and it was ruled a homicide.
The guy who was shot over drugs in Lorain also died, and it was also ruled a homicide.

So Elyria-1, Lorain-1, Cleveland-14. RIP.
