" Recently saw some statistics comparing gun related deaths in Washington D.C. to U.S. soldier deaths in Iraq. It appears a Washington D.C. citizen is 20% more likely to be killed by gunfire than a soldier in Iraq. The point of the article was "maybe we should pull out of Washington D.C.". Therefore, maybe we should also abandon St. Louis before pulling out of Iraq! "

" Somebody please say this isn't true! St. Louis is much too close to home to be the most dangerous city in the nation! Hopefully, our gubernatorial candidates are hard at work developing a plan for how they will keep the danger in Missourri, before it spills over into the lovely utopia we in Illinois all know as East St. Louis.

" The Cub Fan has a good point about the crime rate in St. Louis . . Beside the point, it doesnt really matter who WON the World Series. Nobody cares about the World Series anyway . . get a life. "

" If St Louis is so dangerous why do so many people live there? Any place can be dangerous even Bloomington or Normal or any small town. GET REAL! "

" Why do have to bring baseball into the discussion of St. Louis being the most dangerous city? If you'd like to debate sports, lets remind you that Chicago has six NBA titles in the past 15 years, and St. Louis has.... oh.... that's right. Sorry. "

" I have been going to St Louis every few months just to escape the usual and have never had any problems. We ride the metro link commuter train and stay in a hotel in downtown, the streets are clean and well patrolled. The city puts on all kinds of free concerts and firework shows in the summer, and also St Louis is noted as the city with the most free attractions. Try a getaway and experience the fun in the city before cutting it down, we drove down saturday just for the day and did a cruise thru the locks on the Mississippi and had a blast "

" Woooooooohooooooooooo!!! We're 211... St. Louis is especially dangerous to baseball players that come from number 370. The Total Violence & Degradation World Series... Of course the problem for Detroit is that even if they win, they have to go back to Detroit... "
