Tennessee the Most Violent State in America

Why is Tennessee the most violent state? Well, according to 24 Wall St., who originally reported on the list of most dangerous states,
Why is Tennessee the most violent state? Well, according to 24 Wall St., who originally reported on the list of most dangerous states,
The state was among the top 10 in the country for murders and robberies and was first for aggravated assaults, with an estimated 479.6 for every 100,000 residents. Tennessee’s 41,550 violent crimes in 2012 were up 6.8% from 2011 but down 10% from 2007, when there were 46,380 violent crimes. There were 388 murders in the state in 2012, up for a second straight year. To be fair, Tennessee’s violent streak is concentrated in some of the major metropolitan areas. Memphis’s violent crime rate was the nation’s fifth worst, while Nashville’s was the 18th worst. Like many states with high violent crime, poverty in Tennessee is acute, and high school and college graduation rates are lower than most of the country.

Well, I guess my state had to be number one in something. My home town of Chattanooga has a terrible gang problem. We rank 11 out of the top 20 crime infested cities.

Ouch! The only things we're number one at here in Texas are people without health coverage and oil and gas production ... but I bet we're close to tops in air pollution.
