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.
Which part of my post was a lie?

Where did I even mention the murder rate?
