Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Alaska Misconceptions

Thanks.

Most of the violence seems to be connected to: gangs, drugs, and late hours - the unholy trinity of violence. Avoid those three things and a person is mostly A-OK.

But, I remember a broad daylight shoot-out in the Dimond Mall parking lot a few years ago. Gangs and drugs, IIRC.

I amended my answer above.

Seems to be a lot of rape up there, Montana brought more sheep in years ago and the rape cases went down.

That's what I was told. LOL

Unless those sheep were willing participants, its still rape

Who are they gonna tell?

Not Ewe........

That's baaaaad.

Why blame only Anchorage? I see Fairbanks is #4.

I will put our beloved North St. Louis up against anything you got in Alaska.

i doubt there's anywhere left to put your underwear

Too many DSMFs and third-worlders being welcomed in with open arms instead of being turned away at gunpoint.

Even Fairbanks has gone to hell in the last several years. Too many outsiders coming up from the L48 schittholes they originate from and bringing their baggage with them. Place is due for a good flushing.

It's a start.

The best thing about anchorage, is you can't see it from the valley

For the purposes of that linked study,

The Anchorage, AK metro area includes: Anchorage Municipality and Matanuska-Susitna Borough in Alaska, as well as the city of Anchorage.

just sayin, Mr "valley trash"!

Wading thru some of those stats... for cities etc with the most robberies, rapes and murders.. each seems to have a dominant Black and/or Hispanic population in them....

big shock there, isn't it...

in Oregon's Ranking the biggest city for crime per capita is Medford, here locally.... of course during the same period the number of Hispanics migrating in here from California just happens to be a coincident....

Our governors making Oregon a Sanctuary State, where they block enforcing Federal Laws on Minorities I am sure makes the crime rate climb proportionately also...

all of this is some more liberal lefties "success stories".....

ALL Criminals just love Democrats and liberals...

kinda like going on a picnic with the main goal of feeding the ants...

Yes, prohibition has always worked. Even during the real Prohibition, crime and addiction rates were lowered quite apparently.

I've never been to Alaska, but those crime rates dont look that bad, when compared to other cities.

Just googled murder rates per 100,000 people for New Orleans.

NO = 39.6/100,000
Anchorage = 5/100,000

Neither is anything to brag about, but for every one murdered in Anchorage, there is 8 murdered in NO.

Partial prohibition is the worst, though, in my view. Black markets are very effective. Stronger enforcement just makes people pay more for what gets brought in anyway, it makes yeast a controlled substance, it makes propane, gasoline, nail polish, Lysol attractive alternatives. It helps to turn larger 'legal' population centers into the hell-holes they become. Three very local, dry-village names spring easily into my head…two killed in Anchorage, one raped in the process, neither solved; the other a recent stabbing perp.

In my experience - and I really thought "dry's" failure was simply lack of trying hard enough- "dry" becomes an alternative "wet"; "damp" is often a more self-disciplined form of use.

Alaska is kind of like the two best days of owning a boat. Happy the day you bought it, and happier the day you left it.
Worked there for three years on two construction jobs. Main question asked by Alaskans "How long have you lived here?" If they had one day on you they could shoot straighter, spit further and anything that may be on the table. I've been back a few times on business and still wouldn't give you a dime for the whole place. Only thing good out of Alaska is Sara.

Thanks for leaving, don't let the door hit you on the way out.
