Good point. We don't hesitate going into the city for dining and entertainment. But just like in any city we watch where we go and keep our eyes open.

Most of the aforementioned shootings are in neighborhoods (south and west sides primarily) and according to police are gang related in a majority of the cases.

Are you serious?

Ever been to Orlando proper?

I don't know where you travel but we have never felt unsafe in Orlando; OK wouldn't go to Pine Hills or Parramore at night but did during the day to do real estate appraisals.

WESH2 has a drug deal or murder in "Orange County" about every night! No different than Chicago,Hartford,Dallas,Seattle,LA etc etc. If you think Orlando is "safe" you could be a dead fool don't wander outside of the tourist areas. Orlando's crime rate is twice the national average in almost all categories. go to city-data.com

OMG; you have never been to Orlando have you?
Have you ever walked around Lake Eola, gone to The Grand Bohemium, theater, museums, Leu Gardens or Winter Park?
Actually the tourist areas (I Drive) are worse and you do know Disney etc. is not in Orlando.
Good thing bars on windows are not allowed or I'm guessing you would have them in TV; right?
You really need to visit Orlando's downtown and the neighborhoods.

I've been all over Orlando ... It's nice, not my favorite city I guess I would say NYC or San Antonio are my favorites. I'm saying crime in ORLANDO is high. It's a high crime area! Factually it is a HIGH CRIME AREA. Thats all I'm saying. So is Miami. Miami is beautiful but it is a high crime area.

Bars on windows in TV?? get a grip you're missing the point! I'm saying it's a high crime area and watch WESH2 news for the horrible stories or ask your neighbor to tell you.

You might want to go back and read this thread if you think Orlando or Central Florida is so great. Seems that no one in Florida Law Enforcement or Political Power cares about this, they don't vote and they are throw away people. It's a shame.

No city is "safe". Worked in Baltimore for 30 years, and the news media would brag how "safe" Baltimore was because they had fewer than 300 killings in one year. If the city did not have the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center to put the criticaly wounded back together, the numbers would reach the hundreds, possibly the thousands. The numbers wounded were never part of the statistics. The public, tourist, never hear about that. The Baltimore Inner Harbor is a revenue machine for the city. Currently, Baltimore is experiencing gang flash mobs, which are robbing businesses, attacking civilians, and are becoming almost impossible to control. This is happening during the day and at night. Check out the frightening Police audio on Youtube.
