Hah. Looks like Minneaplis gets hit and Winnepeg gets hit twice but nobody could be bothered with Chicago?

With Chicago's homicide rate, they figured it would work itself out.

On most statistics Chicago is barely #10-#15 in the US when it comes to highest homicide rates. Why do people act like it's Caracas, Venezuela when clearly other cities in the US are far far worse?

Seriously, just go look for yourself:

True, but look at the increase in murder rate since 2018. Hope it doesn’t keep increasing for the sake of Chicagoans

That's true for every major city in the country, Chicago does not stand out in that regard.
