Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Worst Sc-h-ith-hole you've ever been to.

The flats next to Kingston, Jamaica. A strung together hive of cardboard, tin, pallets, and tarps with pathways zig zagging around and thru places where people slept and ate what they could find, including a paste made from ground minnows caught in the concrete storm drain, which also served as a toilet. There was a system of scrap wire, some uninsulated, that fed electricity borrowed from the power lines by way of jumper cables. There were TV sets and Boom Boxes here and there, and young thug looking dudes "gittin' jiggy wid it".

I can honestly say , I have been to very few REAL [bleep], if any. I've been to [bleep] , and been to Nagalas Mexico , on the boarder. It was poor, but cleaner than our big cities, and the people seemed real nice. It is not nearly as bad as what I;ve heard about India. My daughter lived in Cairo , Egypt for 5 yrs. and she sais the place is filthy and the men are lazy perverted cowards . The garbage lays all over , dogs running everywhere and when they poison the dogs, they die in the streets and no one will pick them up. When the Coptic Christians get done recycling, they bull doze the garbage into the Nile River. it is hot and dusty to make it worse. She now lives in New Kingston , Jamaica and said it is much cleaner , and the people are hard working and nice. I started a post a few months ago and asked what it was like in Jamaica and almost all the posters here said she was foolish and didnt know what she was doing, and will get hurt ETC... Noting could be further from the truth. There is little crime there. Just dont deal, steal , do drugs or join a gang and you are likely very safe . They dont go out at night though. I am sure most of the posters here that say a U.S. city is bad has never been very far from home.

Kanorado Kansas

Now you know not to ask questions here.

Irsq.

NY , Bronx , south east side of Lubbock Texas

Oklahoma City , can’t remember the name of it right now but upper north west side of NM bikers and Indians at war with each other , spent 4th of July there , they closed gates at the back side of motel so you couldn’t get out , gun shots mixed with fireworks , next morning at day break riding through town to get fuel , a couple bodies laying on or off side walk , one in a pretty good size puddle of blood .
FarmVille that was the name
Kenneth

One I forgot was Colorado Springs , don’t know what end we were on , rolled in there late at night riding shotgun on semi
Reefer was leaking bad , driver stayed in parking lot trying to fix it , I went in to get room .
Walking through a pretty good sized parking lot , there were people screwing everywhere’s. Got close to motel and some weirdo was jumping up and down trying to see what was going on with his tslley whacker in his hand , never paid me no mind
Going up three flights of stairs , trash everywhere, go into lobby and three chalk white fat women with hair colors and dews from hell , smiling and eyeballing me , what can we do for you
In my firmest voice said a room
They got a pouty look on their face , paid and hit the elevator to see what I had paid for
Got on elevator some 7-8 month pregnant gal gets on , you could see the crust in her skin , lots of belly showing
Asked If I was looking for some fun , said no thanks , feel like I just had some , she got off the same floor as me , went different direction , but I kept her in my perifial .
Got to room , door had been patched 4-( times were the lock was busted off
Walked in , pulled blankets and sheets back , looked ok , went in and checked bathroom .
Good for tonight
Got back on elevator , one floor down and it stopped , black guy and white girl get on
One to each side , I deliberately stepped to him and pushed home out of the corner do I had my back to the corner and then in front of me
Gal smiles and asks if I’m looking for a girl friend
Gave a firm no
Got off walked down stairs noticing they’re following about 10 yds back , kept oerifial on them , eyeballing my buddy on top of rig , suddenly I noticed they were gone .
Turned quickly to see them moving fast at 3-5 yds , shoved hand into Fanny pack grabbed G-21 and as it cleared the Fanny they came to a halt and veered off
Dam that was close
Got to my buddy asked him how it was going
Wasn’t making any headway
So J said let’s call it a night , he worked some more and finally tossed tools in tool box and locked them in cab , turned on his alarm and we went in
I pointed out the scenery around us and ran him a discriot of events
Got to room , had a couple beers and he wanted to go to bar and shoot some pool
I said absolutely not , you want to get mickied
So we set , drank a few , I was loookjng at floor when I noticed big crimson spot on rug and apparent drops leading to the bath room
Checked it to see how fresh , nothing came up on toilet paper
Got some sleep , called the owner , he said Fugg it bring it on
So we were in deep Texas by night fall
Other things that could be said about the trip , but I’ll keep them under my hat for now

Went to Vegas a couple months ago. I hadn’t been in 6 years or so. I’d not go so far as to call it a schithole just yet, but it’s working on it.

Detroit’s always been some degree of rough, but I think the Great Recession pretty well permanently relegated it to schitlhole status.

Been to Laredo TX and Monterrey MX for work recently. I didn’t think they were terrible, but we didn’t hang out in the rough part of town either.

May have just been the part I drove through, but you coulda filmed a post apocalypse zombie movie in Cairo Illinois. Just freakin’ awful.

Saudi Arabia - The whole place checks all the boxes for SH category.

Some slum in Manila. It was close to the air port. Shacks and open sewage.

Even Zimbabwe was nicer.

The bad part of Cincinnati,OH looks like a great place to leave in a hurry. I took a "scenic" route through there once by mistake. I hate big cities, and that trip just reminded me why.

The first time I drove through Cairo I too thought it was just the bad part of town; figured the nicer part was on the bypass maybe. After talking to someone familiar with Cairo and checking Google Earth I realized there is no better part of town.

Hunts point market new York. Took the wife on a cruise to Jamaica mon as long as you stayed with the cruise ship areas you were ok but get out and try to explore on your own was pretty risky

aww man, I mean Parkersburg isn't exactly nice, but considering the whole town was poisoned, they have an excuse. I've spent quite a bit of time in small towns near Virginia and NC and I haven't been any place that I'd think was bad. Stopped into Charleston, didn't spend enough time to get a feel for it, but downtown wasn't horrible. Now granted I haven't lived there, only vacations but I've never looked around and said it was a schithole.

My point is there are many,many worse places in America than West Virginia

I spent a month in Chicago one night.

You guys are so far off about Detroit. I can tell reading the posts you have never been there, or it was 30 years ago.

One guy posted he was scared to get a flat tire. LOL, that's such BS.

The city is 20 times better than it was, all 4 major sports teams are all downtown, great Italian restaurants, Casinos. Some of the best walleye fishing in the country is there as well.

Remember seeing pics of Berlin in like June of ‘45, that looked better that the 9th ward in January of ‘06!

Watts in LA was no picnic in the 70's. Was routed off the interstate into Watts by mistake. No bueno.

I've told this story before but a cousin came to visit us back when I was a kid, decided he wanted to see the country, got over somewhere close to Cairo and started having chest pains. Pulled into someone driveway and asked them for help, they took him to the hospital (back when Cairo had a hospital). Called my dad and told him he was in Cairo, could he come get him.

Dad was pretty put out, loaded up his revolver and for reasons still unknown to me decided to take me with him.

Driving into town I saw a gang of blacks, easily 8, circled around someone on the street, just beating the schit out of them, not two block later we saw another gang of blacks chasing someone down the street. I remember dad had one hand on the steering wheel, one hand on the revolver. While we were at the hospital they brought in a woman that had been attacked , had her eye poked out

Back in the 80's Cairo sold beer on Sundays and had a nightclub on the outskirts of town that didn't check for IDs, you could buy weed there (I'm sure anything else if you asked for it) out in the open. It was a pretty rough crowd, especially when you mixed in young high school kids that were dumber than a box of rocks

the downtown area isn't really bad, we've had corporate events at the punch bowl and the convention center on the water - its the "ring" around downtown you have to get through that is concerning.

Roatán away from the resorts and beaches was rather sketchy and disconcerting. Several places in Africa (Zimbabwe especially) was downright awful.

I spend quite a bit of time in the interior of Mexico these days, especially in Torreón and there's pockets of the city that the infrastructure is crumbling around them, huge pot holes in the streets that are really craters. The trash and graffiti in some areas is unbelievable.

I haven't been in decades, but I hear many of our major cities run by the Dems resemble third world shiet holes. In fact, some might even be worse as there's actual shiet in the streets and on the sidewalks.
