Memphis is no joke Chatt is usually just a hair behind Memphis on the murder rate (look her up)......we're just kinda a smaller Memphis with mtns and better scenery, we're consistantly in the hunt in the top 20. (not proud of that) I also have in fact had my bedroom shot up with AR fire from a neighbor with me in it.....so.... i mean it's not just a number to me. there's still one bullet in the mattress I think that passed 2-3 inches below my noggin. Being downrange in your own home with wife and kid there hits different.

Spoke to a good friend who was Mi assigned to S.f. and had seen alot of action right after it happened. Mainly cause i was trying to deal with the unable to "turn off" for about a week......just too much stimulas. I'd hear every convo in a room at once, notice every single detail, and notice ever freaking muscle twitch in the room around me, it was like I was living in hyper technocolor, and could not turn it off. I gained a new respect for him, as he'd been through that every other week with his unit, but he also said "Man i can't imagine that happening in my home with my family though, i never been through that". It deff hits different. Cops didn't get here for 45 min, even though alarm will send them here in 2 minutes ..they purposely took their time and "staged" after three 911 calls So in that time the only defense we had as he shot at our home with multiple guns, was my rifle and I armed my wife, we had retreated to a safe place and that's all I'll say about that, and just prepared for anyone messing with the door who was gonna get ventilated. True story. So I deffinately do take it seriously....as a swat buddy said, "by the time we get there we're just there to clean up, you're responsible for saving yourself" Not a lesson I will ever forget. Not a hypothetical situation in this house.

As of 2025, Memphis recorded a murder rate of 27.1 per 100,000 people, placing it ninth on the list of the deadliest cities in the U.S., while Chattanooga's murder rate is reported at 38 homicides annually, translating to a rate of approximately 21.0 per 100,000 people based on its population. If you agregate the years though I think I saw memphis was number one in nation at 40, and we were like 29. I don't remember where stats were from. BUt I think alot of cities don't report alot of murders.

Chatt is largely a nice city with a few shithole areas. Memphis is largely a shithole city with a few nice areas.....

I dunno my sister lived out there awhile, and there were some extremely nice areas.....but I will agree that chatt is more concentrated to certain areas. But regardless I got to experience it in my home, and I did not even know the dude.
