Ironically, Chicago is one of the semi-safest cities out there. I just found out that Columbus, Ohio saw a 63% increase in homicide while Chicago saw a 42% increase in homicide.
No, it's not because I'm from Chicago, I'm defending Chicago (I actually grew up just outside of Chicago, in the suburbs that is part of Chicagoland). I still love Chicago but I hate the people occupying Chicago like Auntie Beetlejuice and her minions but there are still good people living outside of Chicago that have voted for President Trump.
Chicago isn't even on the Top 10 cities with high homicide rate, but St. Louis, Detroit and New Orleans are and Columbus is about to join that list very soon (Cleveland and Cincy are already on the Top 50 and Chicago is not even on the top 50!)
The reason why people are seeing Chicago as a dangerous city is because it's the 3rd, or the 4th most populous city in America so I guess it got picked as a "role model" to look at when discussing homicide rates but people are ignoring the stats, which tells an entirely different story!
Additionally, it's the South Side that many people should be concerned about like Englewood, Harvey, East Chicago (Gary, Ind) and more as shooting happens almost everyday. Outside of the South Side, it's mostly safe and I had no problem going into the city. My aunt used to live in Chicago and she was a very fragile white woman living in Chicago but in the white neighborhood.
She has been mugged twice her whole life and that was it, but that's part and parcel of living in a big city but with a fragile white woman, one would expect her to be already dead before she reach 50 years old from murder (shooting, stabbing or whatever that would kill her). She lived to be 67 years old who died from emphysema and COPD (she smoked for almost her whole life).
I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and now live in the city but very close to the burbs. It is more dangerous here than it used to be, in the loop and in regular neighborhoods. There are carjackings daily in the suburbs even. That being said, it is probably still relatively safe in the better neighborhoods. But the no cash bail has predictably been a disaster for Illinois.
Semi-safe large cities... maybe. Places like Baltimore and Philly/Camden are probably on the whole, worse. But Chicago is going to h*ll and the huge gang violence on ain’t helping. Yeah if you’re rich and live in one of the nice neighborhoods it’s decent. But it’s getting worse every day that’s why people are fleeing.
Is anyone still there?
Guns don't shoot themselves, bro. Someone's gotta pump the numbers.
LMAO!

I am willing to bet the top 20 cities for murder are run by democrats.
immediately folds

thats a lot of words to defend a shithole.
