city data is joke---they were so stupid as to think a violent nation in Africa was among the safest places in the world, because the nation was too backward to gather any crime data.
I was wrong. I meant Nationmaster, not City Data. However, I have more trust in the stats done by neighborhood scout https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/ut/salt-lake-city/crime Like all cities, there are bad areas with high numbers of Blacks & Hispanics doing crime up to 10 times out of proportion that raise the rates for everyone. The best way to understand crime is match the bad areas with their demographics.
What is it about Chicago that drives the people there to kill each other so much? Lots of other places have much easier access to guns and they don't kill at the same rate. Are they not capable of living a civilized life? If your child draws on the walls, and all you do is hide the crayons, you haven't taught them not to draw on walls but to find out where the crayons are hidden or to use a pen. Why can the people of Vermont be awash in guns but have nowhere near the same problems? If population density is the problem, fix that. If it's poverty or lack of adult supervision fix that. Hiding the crayons doesn't fix the cause and it keeps those who can draw inside the lines from using them, too. What is wrong with the people of Chicago?
Imaginary numbr like the violence propagated by control over the liquor market during prohibition, the current violence is propagated by the control over the drug market. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2015/0...-chicago-fueled-by-sinaloa-cartel-heroin.html
Well 2/3rds of Chicago is minority with almost 80% of the homicides from the Black population and most of the rest from the Hispanic. That says loads.
It follows the fight for the control of drug market and it's money and those needing to feed their addictions through crime. Same in any big or small population center that has groups struggling for market control and have the collateral drug related crime, including places like the EU, SA, and...
Well its 18th in the country in homicides....how do they get it so much better than those other cities?
Stop and frisk.. Bring enforcement under federal control.. Raid suspected bangers houses for evidence to lock em up.. Chicago is an embarrassment to my country.. Those in power there locally should be ashamed.. How in the hell did we elect a guy from such failure..
sure works better than BM laws that target honest people and do not change the legal environment for criminals edit-my bad, working to you means harassing honest citizens, not controlling criminals. so yes, laws or actions that crack down on CRIMINALS are NOT WORKING in terms of what YOU want
Meanwhile in Chicago: Confirmed kill 183 for the year with the city approaching 1000 total shot for 2017. All of this is a Democratically controlled city, a sanctuary city and one with very strict gun control. Go figure.
Yeah I think gun control similar to most first world nations would help end this gun violence.....don't you?
