@Molino mom. Escambia county did have the highest crime rate per capita for the state a few years ago. I think New Orleans has about thirty murders this year and over a couple hundred shooting already. See http://www.Nola.com/crime/murder/
But I do agree that crime is on the rise here. People just use common sense and avoid crime ridden areas. Remember if you go looking for illegal activities you will probably become a victim yourself.

Gene’s Lounge has always been notorious for shootings, stabbings, fighting, etc. With all the criminal happenings, I don’t know why the place is still open.

dixiebug,
you are correct.
I read just a couple of weeks ago that Pensacola, Fl was in the top 10, for cities with the highest crime IN THE UNITED STATES!
