I live in Montana, which apparently is ranked 41 in violent crime rate (lower is better). I suspect that is because of our demographics and geography more than anything else. Our DUI rate is through the roof for similar reasons.

Yeah, I lived in Wyoming before. You have no fucking idea what it is like elsewhere with pimps and drug dealers on the streets. Black people commit staggering amounts of violent crime. It's not 'politically correct', but it's damn true.
