pretty sobering .... at some point a cruise missle into the compound in northern mexico should occur, sooner rather than later. -

"Murder Capital" is an arbitrary term. Again, I'm no suggesting Chicago has a crime problem. However, the motivation for Drudge and Fox to emphasize it constantly is because Emmanual is the mayor. Chicago has had much higher murder rates in decades past than it does today.TedSheckler;1504435 wrote:And no where in the article did it say it measures "murder capitals" in per capita, like you said.
It says Chicago is the new murder capital. If they measured it in per capita, it would be Flint, MI. But Flint, MI isn't the new murder capital. -
QuakerOatsFrom the Bloomberg article above:
"Chicago, with a population of 2.7 million, had 506 murders in 2012, the highest per capita among the four most populous U.S. cities" -
WallyOnly on the OC-where people have to be right now matter what-would a thread about 13 people in Chicago getting shot-would go 3 pages mostly arguing about the semantics of whether Chicago is the murder capital of USA.

It's an internet message board - what else is it for if not prompting debate? What kind of responses to this topic do you expect, "Oh, that's really sad"? How is that interesting?Wally;1504838 wrote:Only on the OC-where people have to be right now matter what-would a thread about 13 people in Chicago getting shot-would go 3 pages mostly arguing about the semantics of whether Chicago is the murder capital of USA. -

Maybe giving everyone a gun is the answer, population control.
