I posted a ton of Chicago death stats the other day. It's safer in a war zone across the pond than it is in chicago
Nonsense. The average non gang member citizen of Chicago has very little chance of being a victim of crime. If you live in a neighborhood where gangs are part of the population, you have a significant chance of being a crime victim, and if you are a gang member, or the family of a gang member that percentage increases even more. The amusing part is that visitors to Chicago have always thought it was tommy guns and people shooting at each other because of Hollywood portrayals of gang violence from the 1920s. Now folks who visit think that all parts of the city are unsafe, again simple nonsense. The violent crime is limited to very specific gang areas of the city on the near west side and south side.75% of the rest of the city lives in normalcy. Gangs and Prohibition have always resulted in higher crime stats in Chicago. Historical delienated neighborhoods have allowed for ethnic gangs and territories to be battlegrounds for drug turf.
