The rate of violence relative to the size of the population is, however, lower than other US cities such as St Louis or Baltimore.

A commonly overlooked statistic

Less of a connection than the fact "You're a Libertarian" and "not a Trump supporter" relates to your quality as a poster.

Can you explain this more?

Also kinda weird for the entire state of Illinois, for example, to get blame for all the gun crime when over 90% happens in just one part of Chicago.

Not worth trying for a cop out. If all cities were blue, we would have Hillary Clinton. These cities pushed the same agenda and wound up with similar results. Obama left destruction in his wake. What did he do for the black community, who he promised to help? Chicago and Flint weren't as bad before his administration.

Red states like Louisiana only have high gun crime because New Orleans makes up 99% of it. The red parts of the state aren't the problem, the blue parts are.

It is also specifically small areas of these places. Like there are super safe areas of Chicago, but it is all happening on the south side.

A commonly overlooked statistic


Chicago literally has almost double the number of body bags per year compared to St. Louis, but because the latter has a smaller population, it makes it seem like Chicago is better.

Which is pretty bad if you think "Well, 500 inner city blacks are dead this year, but it's all good because St. Louis has a higher rate of homicides!, even though only 200 die each year over there"

You are all ignoring that these places with super high murder rates are usually just one small section of a city. Most of these murders in Chicago take place in the same several blocks.

South Africa is a pretty big distinction from the rest of Africa as far as comparing murder rates.

Again, every state votes Republican in rural areas and Democrat in urban areas. If NO is pushing up the rate in Louisiana than the same should be happening in say, NYC. It's not.

This. I live in Louisiana and the most dangerous areas are Shreveport, Baton Rouge, Opelousas, Monroe, and New Orleans. Outside of those areas, the state is fairly quiet.

This has been said a million times to Mal to stop Maling around. San Jose is liberal and has some of the highest growth and low crime. Same with Austin.

Most large major cities are liberal yet he keeps using Chicago and Baltimore as the examples of democrat leadership.

Those places are not perpetually Democrat nor have been Democrat for very long. Certainly not to the degree of places like Detroit, Chicago, New Orleans or St. Louis which all have voted Democrat for many decades.
