What makes people always mention Chicago? Are you aware of the national statistics that looks at fatal shootings per capita in the US and Chicago is not even in the top 5. It's
2017 rate is equal to Gracie's hometown of Cincinnati and that rate for Chicago is
down double digits so far in 2018. Worst city... St Louis
Mentioning of Chicago and lying about its homicide rate have somehow become a common practice. Not sure why people can't understand the real rate has to be adjusted by population. And it is worth mentioning that NYC has a rate so low that such perceived safe places like Tulsa and Minneapolis and Dallas have murder rates several multiples of the rate in NYC.
