Damn all these people talking about Chicago's murder number. It's basically at an all time low. You guys would have lost your shit in the 80s and 90s when there was 1000 or 1200 murders a year.
And you're wrong. Chicago does not have a higher murder rate than Nigeria. Chicago isn't even in the top 10 in the USA for murder rate. Hell it's not even top for Illinois. Rockford and East St. Louis has higher murder rates (homicides per 1000 people).It just leads the country in number of murders but keep in mind it's the 3rd most populated area in America.
So basically you're wrong.
St. Louis, Baltimore, Detroit, New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Memphis, Dayton (OH), Shreveport (LA), west palm beach (FLA), and DC have the top 10 highest murder rates.
