So far this year in Chicago

2,745,866 NOT shot and killed
2,743,874 NOT wounded by gunfire.
2,743,352 total people NOT shot
2,745,838 People NOT killed by homicide.

@projectpat72988

stuff it
It's a selective tally. Started in an attempt to discredit Obama ("somehow") and then continued after 2008.

Dayton, Ohio is 23 places ahead of Chicago per capita in murders

This. I went on a trip to Detroit years ago, and after hearing people shit all over it i went into it kind of apprehensive.

I wound up loving it. Every Detroiter i met was super nice. It gets a bad rap when its nowhere near as bad as people make it seem. I imagine Chicago is the same way.

.....LMAO "I visited Detroit and it seemed nice so it was". Go move there. Unlike Chicago Detroit actually can't be defended with this "per capita" argument. The one that trivializes the murders of hundreds of people a year because of "well, the other million people didn't die!". Detroit is top 3 per capita damn near every year since what? The 1970s?

I'd question the motives of anyone who got defensive that I mentioned the FACT Chicago led the country in ACTUAL murders and not per capita.

Whats the matter? Those HUNDREDS of minorities murdered don't matter because their city is big?

Nope, dont wanna get murdered.

jk thats not the reason. I just love Hawaii too much. Beautiful weather and scenery, hot Asian chicks galore, and by far the best water in the country. Oddly enough that last one is probably the biggest factor. Whenever I visit my aunt in California I absolutely hate the tap water. All chlorinated and shit :<

Living in Hawaii for over 3 decades has gotten me too used to such pristine water. The only other place Ive visited that had decent water was Japan.

Live in the burbs an hour north of Chicago. Work in Chicago and would never want to live there, costs way so much more and I would hate to drive there.

On top of hating big cities, there's zero chance I'm moving to the 20th highest crime city in the US.

Tbf I expected it to be in the top 10 though. Still, hell no.
The way people talk you would think it was number one.

We have 2 styles. If you don't like either kind, there's something wrong with you.

As someone who has never been to Chicago, who lives nowhere near there, the only type of pizza marketed as Chicago style is the deep dish. What is the other Chicago style?

You can still get normal pizza. Not like you are forced to have Deep dish if you don't like it.

Chicago thin crust is another style, but generally, Chicago style pizza means deep dish.

Bullshit, my friend's doctor went to Chicago once and claimed every single resident attempted to force feed him deep dish pizza. He said it was like some kinda creepy cult, I want no part of it so I'll just stay where I am thank you very much.

Then don't go to the part of Englewood.

Every major city has their shitholes you don't go to.

Los Angeles has Compton
Toronto has Regent Park
New York has Brownsville
London has Tottenham

Are you going to let a few bad areas define an entire city?
I dunno i am not american. I only know chicago is the America of american city

The violent nature of Chicago is a right wing meme at this point, one rooted in their hatrid of Obama.

It would be like if the left started hating Palm Beach Florida.
