Review of Richmond, Virginia


It is ...what it is .
Star Rating - 4/13/2006
For anyone wanting to argue about crime in Richmond? Just state the facts. Richmond is CURRENTLY rated the 5th worst city for crime ...... now get this ......in the ENTIRE COUNTRY!!! Thats the whole USA folks!!

It is what it is.

Pick up a local paper, read it on line, watch it on the news or whatever way you want to experience it, but facts are facts. Is it any worse than other medium sized cities? (Richmond is small compared to Boston or NY or even Tampa) Well duh!!! Of course the crimes worse here. You don't get rated the 5th highest crime rated city by accident!!! Its earned. Murder by murder. Rape by rape. Violent crime by violent crime.
