Over 100 murders in 2018!

I was just pointing out a Stat! Make of it what u wish. Heck, I live in NYC! I certainly know all about pockets of "better not go there", although they are far and few these days here in NYC.

Use to be if you could no longer read the graffiti on the subways, you went one stop too many! Now, their spankin silver without a blemish on them. Times have changed, oh how they've changed.

You wer more than “just pointing out a stat” the title of the thread looks like a sensationalized tabloid headline. I can’t put my finger on what your agenda is but it is not just sharing factual information.

You have no idea of my intent, if any. Take it as "fake" news" for all I care....happy diving. I know of no one ever getting shot by a gun under water

Doesn't stop people from trying:

I don’t live in Chicago anymore, I moved somewhere much safer (New Orleans). Joking aside, the tempature is only part of the equation, another part of it that happens to take place when it is warm is school letting out for the summer.

What I think the real point is, is that the crime is very targeted. In Chicago the majority of the murders are in a very small part of the West and South sides. Not so much along the Gold Coast, Mag mile, Andersonville.....

It’s my reading that the Cancun killings are related to Narco trafficking and Cartels, I’m not involved in that line of work and would feel fairly safe.

Consider this senareo for a minute. Chicago has a murder rate of 1 in 100,000 (totally made up) and say Cancun is 1 in 75,000 (again made up). Now say you live in a town of 500 people and a guy gets walks in on his wife and another man and kills them both they have a murder rate of 1 in 250, is that a dangerous place?

It is important to evaluate the danger objectively not simply look at the stats with out context.

It is if he walks in on you and his wife.
