Remember that guy from London who posted here a few months ago saying he was coming to NH for a vacation? He was asking if he should stay in Portsmouth or Manchester. The top comment mentioned you go to Portsmouth to have fun and you go to Manchester to die.

That's the one hahahaha. Looks like it was Montreal rather than London though! I do remember a fellow from London looking for advice at some point. Cheers!

Why would that be any worse?

It depends on the blade and the bullet, but generally speaking, I’d rather get stabbed if I had to choose one or the other. Survival odds are better on average.

As someone who's been stabbed, getting stabbed doesn't hurt very and heals quickly.

Manchester is so bizarre.
I go back and forth on whether I want to buy a home that’s very close to “things” in a few years. I’d totally buy in the North End (like, north of the millyard and downtown in the Stark Park/maybe Livingston Park area) if I wanted to go in that direction.
But like a half mile away becomes not just undesirable, but “no fucking way”.
I lived in the Manchester Place Apts for a year and it really wasn’t too bad at all (the corporate aspect helps lol but the immediate area is decent) Then spent a year near Malvern Street and there was a meth raid the week I moved in..

I’ve been in Manchester place since 2020, it’s been great. Just got an offer accepted nearby in goffstown and couldn’t be more excited- love downtown Manchester but it will be nice to be way from all the ish

You won't feel that way once you get a load of the town's Facebook page.
Ferahgost t1_j8b7910 wrote
I mean or I can just avoid both Facebook and the towns Facebook pages. There’s is no such thing as a town Facebook page that has ever made a town look good
Vandal35 t1_j8b7dto wrote
True that. Welcome :)

the facebook page is the best part for goffstown
Dust-by-Monday t1_j8a8rkr wrote
Well, maybe he shouldn't have been stabbing.
AnythingToAvoidWork t1_j8bnz44 wrote
Seriously!
Why didn't he simply not get stabbed?

I lived in Manchester after college for one year, lived in the “North End” which we were told was the “‘nice part”, ten months in, a woman was shot and killed a street over while walking her dog. It’s never been solved. Moved soon after and don’t miss that gross city.
widget_fucker t1_j8aspfr wrote
That was a bizzarre and freaky murder
Curious_Buffalo_1206 t1_j8boa6u wrote
Happened in Concord too, although they (allegedly) caught the bastard. Random violence like that can happen anywhere, unfortunately. Even sleepy Mt Vernon. It’s just more likely in some places. You’re already rolling the dice heavily by choosing to live in the US. This is a country that loves violence.

Never knew Manchester was so bad. I grew up in Dorchester and Roxbury Ma. so it takes more to phase me I guess LoL.

Manchester has really become a dump. When I was a kid I never felt like it was as dangerous as it is today. Maybe I'm just getting old.

No, it really is getting worse. It wasn’t even this bad 10 years ago.

What a fuckin shit hole. Come on Manchester fans, tell us we're all wrong yet again and post some good news out of the city

Some good news. They identified the suspect:
>Desmel Cooper, 40, of Manchester, is wanted on charges of first-degree assault and possession of a deadly weapon as a convicted felon, according to Manchester police.

Linksknights t1_j8awdam wrote
I don’t understand 1st degree assault. Shouldn’t it be attempted murder?
rubicon11 t1_j8ef5c2 wrote
They know they can charge him with first degree assault with what they know now. They can use the evidence and witness testimony they find as part of the investigation to upgrade the case to attempted murder
Icy-Neck-2422 t1_j8awosh wrote
Maybe they are cutting our man a break.
baxterstate t1_j8dg5jv wrote
I bet Desmel Cooper has a long criminal record.

Yes, some NH redditors are so sheltered and lack perspective.

Yeah, the murder still gets reported. The insane opioid abuse that has caused DEA agents in even Arizona to refer to it as “Manchvegas”, that’s so common it’s completely ignored now.
Common_Resolution_36 t1_j8drmst wrote
Even in Arizona??? Oh no! Not that! You are a dork.
Hereforthemadness1 t1_j8e2k02 wrote
Wooshed right over your head didn’t it flatlander? The point is that the opioid epidemic is so bad in our little city, that the cutsy nickname we’ve used for that city for decades is now common usage in DEA offices that have never even heard of Manchester NH before now.

Idk, I used to live in Lynn for years and I always felt safer there than I do in Manchester. But maybe it’s because I’m used to Lynn.

Lols had a boss drop a part off to me at my house in Lynn at night he said don't you feel unsafe here. I laughed and flashed my Glock. Good times. I lived near lovers leap.

The question is if you like Fauci pizza or not. That’s a real bone of contention with some people. Wasn’t my favorite pizza in Lynn but sometimes you have to get a giant party pizza
