Why is Mississipi not first on this list too? Louisiana seems off the charts. Any explanation for that?

Have you been to Louisiana?

I spent a good bit of time growing up there. This does not surprise me.

Also, New Orleans was like, murder capital of the world per capita at one point in time.

But generally, the reasons are the obvious ones: Extreme bigotry, racism, and most importantly, some of the worst poverty in the world for any first world country is there. Poverty creates violence. It's just how humans/the world work. When you don't have enough/can't get a job through legal means to survive, you turn to crime.
