Is Gallup New Mexico one of America's Most Dangerous Cities? How Safe is Gallup?

[@williamnewman3158]

I’ve lived here my whole life and been extremely reckless. I think the people that get into altercations are asking for it, and also stats are inflated by dramatic people that might’ve been shoved and say I’m being assaulted! It’s over exaggerated per capita

[@risingcrimenews]

2 things I know are true - 1-the crime stats are always fudged a bit one way or another and 2-when you live in a city people tend to think its safer than it really is because they are used to it and not looking at it objectively. I personally do this where I live, which is why I'm moving out of the city next month.

[@risingcrimenews]

One of us has a block on our account, because they are not letting me leave the response I tried to write.

[@paulkramer9666]

Amenities include an overabundance of liquor stores.

[@risingcrimenews]

Haha. Yep

[@jimw.4161]

Who knew? 😱 It's still worth getting off the interstate and visiting Richardson's Trading Post or stopping for breakfast at Earl's. Just make sure you are back on the road before sundown. If you spend the night at the El Rancho Hotel, don't wander around at night. Eat dinner at Jerry's and turn in early - the downtown area is full of drinks and drunk drivers after dark and the bar's are CRAZY - stay out. Be cautious, be aware, and Gallup has a lot to offer. I personally love stopping there and have never had a problem. I hope you have the same experience. 👍

Damn dude yup gotta watch out for vampires, be sure to carry garlic if you are not back on the road before sundown, I got bit now I suck aunties necks

[@openyoureyes3969]

No thanks, we just drove through there and I would have been an irresponsible parent for staying there for the night.

[@jimw.4161]

@@openyoureyes3969 Yes.... I agree. Driving through town during daylight hours and perhaps stopping at Richardson's for a brief look at the merchandise, grabbing a bite to eat, and then getting back on the road is the best (and safest!) way to go.

[@bobbyarnette1911]

My mother was from gallup.1966 I was 8 years old and seen my first killing on the streets of downtown Gallup. 2 cowboys fighting over my auntie. These were white men one received the heal of the others cowboy boot killing him instantly while leaning against the tire of a jeep.

[@risingcrimenews]

Wow! Thanks for sharing that story with us

[@buildabravestrongheart]

Yeah those Auntie's will get some serious Sparks spitting flames🫡

[@samuelkuntz9734]

Thanks for this. It seems like this city has some of the nicest weather in the US.

[@risingcrimenews]

I stayed in a hotel there years ago while driving through and someone was killed in the parking lot that night.

Newmexico in general hi

[@youcancallmeZimmy]

great vid..but I have a question. what does 'amenities' refer to?

[@risingcrimenews]

like stores and restaurants and stuff like that. Places to go basically

[@youcancallmeZimmy]

thank you

[@Emery540]

One day I had to fight a drunk dude at the gas station

[@risingcrimenews]

In Gallup? I was travelling by car to Los Angeles one time years ago and stayed at a hotel in Gallup and someone was murdered in the parking lot while I was there. I don't go there anymore. haha

Please tell me about Rehoboth McKinley hospital.

[@elosogonzalez8739]

Shocking news! I don't live in Gallup but I visit there several times a year. The only crime I've ever seen is alot of public drunkeness, and Sadly alot of it. It's a beautiful part of New Mexico. Hope they can clean things up. Been visiting there for years, it's sad but true this is America as a whole. Decades of Democrats in public office doesn't help either!

[@risingcrimenews]

Exactly.

[@SelfRighteousNewAgeLightWorker]

They'll never clean up Gallup, because the business owners themselves are the corruptors and oppressors of their own communities. 💀 A bakery there is a cover for a fentanyl distributor, for example. If you were born in Gallup, there's only one thing to do: *GET OUT BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE*.

[@seattlejayde]

Please STOP with the Democrat shaming. How’s your Winner Trump working out for ya btw? Lol

being forced to live in a society with nonwhites doesn't help either

[@artieburnspurp1507]

Now that everyone is smoking G in the G and on them blues (fentanyl) yeah it's getting dangerous, and it's always had an alcohol problem so let's not forget about that

[@jessicajames1599]

Why is fentanyl called blues?

[@rjwije4874]

Great video

[@tribesecurity2170]

As a current resident of Gallup, I concur.

[@toomanybears_]

A long time ago I had to spend the night there because I got off schedule and really didn't have a choice. I wasn't a victim of a crime but I got crabs from the motel I stayed at and got Hepatitis A from eating at some Mexican joint I can't remember the name. The whole town just had a "dirty" feel to it. Drunks were all over the place and I saw a number of women I assumed to be prostitutes havngin around the motels. It seemed like half the businesses in town were either bars or liquor stores. I was living in Memphis at the time so I know a shithole when I see one and Gallup was a really big shithole. I can't imagine it's gotten better.

[@openyoureyes3969]

We just traved all the way across the country. We got off the exit to take the kids to the Navajo wildlife zoo off the Gallup exit. We figured we would stay there for the night and continue our journey. We had 2 interactions that confirmed whites are not welcome.

[@kb_9880]

@@openyoureyes3969 I'm so sorry you had that encounter! Not all Navajos are as such. We do have 'bad apples' as with any 'race.' My apologies!! I'm Navajo but have lived off the rez, and even I get treated as if I'm not 'welcome.'

[@openyoureyes3969]

@@kb_9880 We enjoyed the Zoo.🙂 Looks like they were adding on and doing updates whe we were there. I think we should have stayed closer to the zoo. I am not one for cities to begin with.

[@nativepride101]

Gallup sucks. Cant blame them. Its a reservation town. Nothing on the reservation. It sucks. Everyone drives hours to gallup to the mall or Walmart. Native on native crime And more. Those left out to die in freezing weather. It just bad.

[@riclate2013]

​@Darkdimension991then the drunks and junkies will just go to Grant's or Albuquerque. In all honesty Albuquerque is far worse than gallup. Gallup is quiet and sad, Albuquerque is lively and sketchy. In all honesty alot has changed in 18 years, may not be nice but I've honestly never had an issue and same goes for my family who both live in either the rich neighborhoods or the poor ones. Sounds like you just had sh!t classmates. Again only real issue is drunks and junkies, and they are mostly harmless unless they are suffer withdrawal. Even downtown is ok and tame for the majority.

[@ynnh1694]

Screw Gallup...i spun out in a snow storm, got pulled out, spent the night.... i would rather be in Silent Hill with no health 😂

[@risingcrimenews]

Haha. I stayed in a Hotel there like 20 years ago while driving through. Someone was murdered in the parking lot that night. Have never gone back

[@ryandonovan5205]

How safe is Gallup? About as safe as dropping a toaster in the bath tup

[@risingcrimenews]

Funny. Thanks for watching

[@openyoureyes3969]

We are traveling and thought we would stop and get a room. Things felt sketchy when I saw barbed wire.

I stayed in a hotel there years ago and someone was murdered in the parking lot as we slept. I'd never stay there again

[@openyoureyes3969]

@@risingcrimenews OH MY!! I wish I would have watched this video before we stopped.

[@riclate2013]

Where did you see barbed wire? The only area I can think of is the little holding center on the east side of the town and it's mostly hidden. Hotels are pretty clean, motels eh I would skip they always looked dirty and gross.

Well a lot of homes have bullet holes in em and a lot of drunk people but other than that it's good.
