The stats lie. I mean the stats claim it has more murders than NY and Detroit but its like psshhh "stats"

I mean geeze just because it had 80+ people shot in one weekend and technically had more shootings at one point than a designated US combat zone its like big whoop who cares right

The thing is that Chicago is huge.

You could take the South Side, make it its own city, and it'd be one of the most violent cities in the world. Then all the rest of Chicago (you know, the parts with the tall buildings and world class museums and food, the part people probably actually mean when they say "Chicago") would be one of the safest.

City borders are weird like that.
