When It Comes to Crime, Camden Is No. 2 in U.S.:

New Orleans has been ranked the most crime-ridden city in the U.S. beating such luminaries as Detroit and Gary, Indiana, but that’s not the real story.

The real story is that the perennial favorite from my home state of New Jersey has been ranked #2. That’s right, after a few rebuilding years after being ranked first two years in a row Camden, New Jersey has almost returned to the top spot.

I guess they’ll have to start a few more fires next year. I also like what I read in the FARK thread yesterday that one day Camden will one day jump the river and murder Philadelphia.
