Looks like Rahmaville is not doing so good. I bet Chicagoans wish they had a mayor with some balls... Opinion: The Deadliest Global City: Chicago likes to compare itself to other world cities, so Ward Room thought it would find out how we rank in violence. It turns out no one can top us. Among what are considered Alpha world cities, Chicago has the highest murder rate -- higher even than the Third World metropolises of Mexico City and Sao Paolo. Heres how we rank in murders per 100,000 among cities we consider our peers, based on a projected murder total of 505 for this year. Singapore 0.4 Tokyo 0.5 Hong Kong 0.6 Berlin 1.0 Sydney 1.0 London 1.4 Toronto 1.7 Amsterdam 1.8 Paris 4.4 New York 6.0 Los Angeles 7.5 Mexico City 8.0 Moscow 9.6 Sao Paulo 15.6 Chicago 19.4 We could be doing worse: Caracas, Venezuela has a murder rate of 130 per 100,000. But its undeniable that the Windy City is under seige. Gun lovers are gleeful about Chicagos deadly summer. They see it as a rebuke not just to gun control, but to the policies of Barack Obama and Rahm Emanuel. But Chicagos murder rate is not proof that gun control doesnt work. Its proof that, in a country with one gun per citizen, local gun laws are meaningless. Lets look at Tokyo, one of the safest cities on that list, with a murder rate of 0.5 per 100,000 citizens. Japans constitution does not guarantee its citizens the right to bear arms. Handguns are prohibited. Semi-automatic weapons are prohibited. Automatic rifles are prohibited. The only exceptions are hunting shotguns and target-shooting pistols. The penalty for illegal possession of a gun is up to 15 years in prison. Japan has a population of 127 million. In 2006, two people were murdered with guns. Japan starts with the principle that citizens have no right to a gun, and forces them to prove they need one. The United States starts with the principle that guns are an inalienable right, and forces the government to justify banning them. The number-one factor in predicting crime is not guns -- or lack of guns. It is concentrated urban poverty. Because of Chicagos history as a segregated city, we have a lot of that. Source
Sad that Chicago has a higher death toll this year than Afghanistan (US troops), it's mostly gang violence too, can't the gangs just get along and sell drugs together? Kidding lmao
The NRA has prepared a response to Obama's speech concerning gun crimes and gun control... [video=youtube;YA4_a4_ckMM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YA4_a4_ckMM[/video]
Detroit is protected by cultural-marxism aka political correctness. Since Detroit has a black run city government, they are off limits in the name of political correctness. Chicago is run by white liberal/progressives and they can't find any Republicans in government or in the hood to blame. I hope I answered your question.
If you look at the crime stats all across the city of Chicagoe, that would be true. But if you just look at the black hoods in Chicago where the vast majority of crimes are committed, the per capita murder rates tops every city and nation. No one mentions how many were actually shot and didn't die. So far this year in Obama's Chicago, 377 shot and killed. So far this year in Obama's Chicago , 2.133 shot and wounded. http://heyjackass.com/ Now this source says 2,528 shooting victims, the majority in the two big hoods in Chicago. -> http://crime.chicagotribune.com/chicago/shootings
Yeah, and it's mostly Black on Black killings. Of course, it is not a big deal to the Obama Admin and his lapdogs Sharpton and Jackson, because it is not White on Black, Hispanic (still White) on Black, or mixed race (still White according to *******s) on Black crime. Black lives matter..........if killed by non-Blacks.
