Honestly, I've lived in Flint for quite some time, and while I have witnessed a bit of violence (some of which was quite bad), I cannot remember an event where I was directly involved. Most of the violence in the city is between individuals who know one another, and there is little danger to the average citizen (as long as you don't go looking for trouble in the north end at 2am). As a reporter, do you actually feel like there is an inherent danger within Flint, or that its rough areas are more dangerous than those of other towns, or are you just using the 'most dangerous' statistic as a polarizing title for the AMA?

Tried the crepe company yet?

I'm certainly not downplaying the level of violence in the city. It is a serious problem that affects far too many, and I actually appreciate this AMA bringing to light the problems of my hometown. However, from reading through these comments, I worry that people reading this post will leave with the impression that the streets of Flint are similar to Mogadishu in the 1990s.
