Dumbest crap I ever heard. Yeah most dangerous if you’re a criminal and might get charged rather than making rape cases with credibility just disappear. Where was there methodology for this crap? What a load.
There's no shortage or folks to circulate this crap for them though. My advice: don't click the links.
IIRC, in the '80s, Gainesville was Murder City USA twice. Small town, small sample size, stats can get skewed fairly easily. Didn't feel unsafe.
Considering this is restricted to towns rather than cities and also that Gainesville is on a huge drug smuggling route (I-75 north) this shouldn't surprise anyone. Also it's very safe if you're not about that life. Lots of gangs have a presence but if you're just an average Joe it's as safe as any other town.
Like any town, there have always been bad areas in Gainesville. Just stay out of those areas and you'll have a great time. These stupid lists that internet "journalists" crank out these days are a dime-a-dozen and not worth reading. So I didn't.
Those crank internet journalists are most likely AI. I've read so much AI generated "journalism" lately its not even funny. Typically they have some easily debunked "fact" wrong.
I'm never ever going to Gainesville again. Will watch games from a quiet sports bar in Baltimore or East Saint Louis.
Apparently the Editor is AI as well. When I think about how AI learns, from what I understand it scrapes the internet. Considering the Himalayan size mountains of foolish garbage, rumor and innuendo on the internet, how can it not get messed up?
Too dangerous. Daily carnage on the streets, gangs, packs of hungry human eating wolves... and alligators- big ones. No thanks.
