im talking state wide

I don't believe that one bit Captain...

but i wouldnt be surprised if tulsa were the worst offender

I hardly ever see violence where I live and I live in a small city.

Stillwater, Oklahoma. We are rather peaceful here.

well, you are free to not, im just basing my numbers of government established numbers

I also keep a eye on the Stillwater Police channel, barely any violent crimes happen.

My reality doesn't seem to match up with government numbers.

>I personally don't see X, so it can't be

gg with that anecdotal evidence

need to remember larger cities effect the numbers of a state quite often

So Tulsa and Oklahoma City?

Yeah cities seem to be a magnet for violent crimes, never understood why that is.

ie chicago and the rest of illiois

I am saying vast majority of Oklahoma is very peaceful.

cities have high population densities

it's as simple as that

Probably 8/10 of the state is peaceful.

cuz that is what happens when you put a bunch of ppl close to eachother

*8/10ths of the area of the state

Compare that to the rest of the nation... I rather live here than anywhere else.

a city can overwhelm a large section of a state if it's sparsely populated outside the big cities

tbf 8/10ths of the state are hills, plains, and forests

*the area of the state

Not really...

again, the population isn't the area, that needs to be specified

Forests are not that big in Oklahoma. We are mostly farm lands and small towns.

that is an obvious assumption and joke

This story is going to be memory holed SO FAST

if you have 51% of the population in one town and 49% of the population in the rest of the small towns, "most of the state" is that one town

language matters

Hmm... I can see your point.

also no, oklahoma does not have that many farms

But I honestly think we are very peaceful people.

And we are always helping each other in time of need.

lmfao that tweet though

irony is glorious sometimes

calling us nice is something many ppl do who dont hate us because we dont live on the coast lines

A number of dangerous cities in Oklahoma drive up the state’s crime rate. In each of the state’s three metropolitan areas — Lawton, Tulsa, and Oklahoma City — the violent crime rate exceeds the national rate. In the Lawton metro area, there were 747 violent crimes per 100,000 residents in 2015, the 15th most of any U.S. city.
