10 U.S. cities you’re most likely to be murdered in

4. Memphis, TN

I guess when you sing the blues long enough you want to go and kill someone. It can’t all be ribs and Elvis and in Memphis, Tennessee violent crime is a major problem. The murder (over 120), rape (over 400) and annual robbery numbers are high, but the over 7,000 aggravated assaults is a staggering number. Memphis has many downtrodden areas that have struggled for years and these areas are where you will find the most violence. My plan for decreasing the murder rate here is to increase the number of Elvis tribute artists. Why are they all in Vegas? They should come home to Graceland and Beale Street; who wants to murder when they can watch an Elvis show?
