The funny part is that per population, Chicago is 28th in the nation for murder rate. For the record, it is impressive how much of the top are in the Republican deep south, such as Birmingham, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and Memphis. Also just down the list are two cities in Texas of Dallas and Beaumont. The murder rate in Chicago is 18.26/100,000. In Dallas it is 14.89/100,000. In 2021, Austin had their deadliest year in almost 20 years. Why everyone thinks this is a Chicago problem is really obvious, but no one wants to acknowledge it.
