Is it not obvious that liberal cities with a denser population have more crime than rural Republican areas?
As much as you think, democratic policies don't do ****. Criminals don't tend to follow the law.
I don't need sources. I have a brain.
Let me write a syllogism for you with these postulates:
A. Urban areas are generally liberal and more populated.
B. More lessly-populated rural and suburban areas are conservative and have less people.
C. More crime happens because of more dense populated areas.
A causes C. B is the negation of C.

True! And do you think that's because cities are more densely populated, and more densely populated places ALWAYS have more crime, or do you think it's something specific to Democratic policies?
I'll give you one guess.
Your argument is like suggesting that Republican policies are favorable to cows because one can find a lot more cows in rural areas dominated by Republicans. It's not Republicanism that creates cows, it's the fact that cows live only in rural areas.

You have a great point.
Blue, liberal states = more population density, more crime.
Example: Big city's like Chicago.
Red, conservative states = less density population, less crime.
Example: Rural areas, that have wide open spaces, people are
separated by miles, also many forests and farms, etc.
Illegal guns, suicides, types of crime, crime statistics,
violent gangs, minority's, education, values, religion,
upbringing, jobs, psychology, sociology, laws,
police presence, etc. all factor in as well.

"Crime and Regional Differences
Regional differences have been found to exist in the kinds of crimes committed. BLS data and the data in the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report are broken down into four major U.S. regions: Northeast, Midwest, South, and West. From 1992 to 1999, the Northeast region experienced the highest robbery rates relative to the other three regions. The South ranked highest in terms of both overall property crime rates and violent crime rates; it had the highest rates for murder, rape, aggravated assaults, burglary, and larceny. The West ranked highest for motor vehicle theft, and the Midwest consistently ranked lowest of all three regions in violent crimes and property crimes."

Humans in massive cities tend to peer a bigger go component to the populace. That includes social service problems. Many of the populace of enormous cities are usually not wealthy or elite. Seem at a map of the demographics for the Disabled, the places of hospitals and long run care facilities(elder and mental well being). Also detect Neither the Kennedy family nor the Bush loved ones are living in cities in any respect. Look at a demographic for traditional wage and ordinary talent/education.

Yes. This is my big argument about the Kennesaw, Ga. thing (everyone's required to have a gun.) It's a small town of under 30,000, with an older population. Of course there's going to be a low amount of violence.

Wow, you're a genius! Denser population centers have more crime....regardless of what political party is in charge. It stands to reason that the more people you have, the more crime will be committed!

Yes. Everyone is aware that more crime happens in large cities than in rural areas. The only problem is that the crime rates in Democrat cities do not reflect a concentration of crime, but a petri dish for crime.

Yeah that will happen when you bunch a lot of people living on entitlements close together. Survival of he fittest/biggest bully is how urban areas are..

It's obvious to people who actually think about the situation but it is not obvious apparently to people who are trying desperately to make a political propaganda point.

Obvious from the sources you cite? Oh yea, you don't cite any sources.
You should flush.
