This is a big topic among the Trump supporters. It's the new go-to when the news cycle is unfavorable to the White House.
There is a reason, if you bother to look and not just repeat Fox headlines. ------------------------- I was right. |

Chicago is typically not even top 20 in the FBI murder rate statistics. The murder rates in smaller cities like New Orleans, DC, and Flint have been the highest since 1985, and far worse than Chicago.
Not sure why the focus, maybe NRA propaganda? |

Chicago was 9th in cities last year for murder rate from the source I found, but that wasn't gathered from the 2017 FBI UCR. Looks like that wont be published until the fall.

It could end if they voted in Republicans. These issues exist in most dem controlled cities. Dems are not good at governing, to put it mildly. There is hope for these poor folks, however. More and more minorities are waking up to the destruction that dems have wrought.

The dog whistles are a blowin' for the righties
But OK Chicago: It had a darkside when Sandberg wrote about it. Check lines 8 and 9. He wrote about gunmen there waaaaay back. It's a culture thing Chicago by Sandberg https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/poems/12840/chicago My daughter just visited, loved it. Edited: 08/22/2018 at 08:03 AM by Greensleeves |

hah, yea my brothers live there and seem to like it - many areas are very nice, chicago is highly segregated though.. I'm sure she didnt go driving through the south side
dems dont seem to have much incentive to improve the situation, blacks vote as an ethnic block and the cycle continues. too much black success may lead to repub votes, keep them in the ghetto and reap the vote, violence is contained to the quarantined areas, everyone is peachy Edited: 08/22/2018 at 08:20 AM by johnny |

Why do the Faux news people care so much? Is it because it distracts their viewers tiny minds away from how they are being used by the GOP puppet masters as a means to enable their continued corruption?

Chicago is 22nd miker. and most deaths are because of rampant gang violence among 14-20 year olds. context is important Data source? Like I said the murder rate I saw had them a 9th among large cities last year. The 2017 FBI report isn't out yet. What about gun violence in general? ...and yeah, it is mostly gang related. Criminals. Context IS important, but nothing I posted was out of context. lol Edited: 08/22/2018 at 08:46 AM by miker |

Chicago is a poor argument to use when saying gun controls don't work - not saying that you are doing that, but others do. ------------------------- QOP = Terrorists FK = Gay |
