What are you saying?  That websites like heyjackass for Chicago will be created for some other cities?

Or are you trying to say that Chicago is a particularly dangerous place if you're worried about being murdered?

Because...

Six Cities With Worst Murder Rates In United States
July 24, 2014 12:52 PM

By John Dodge

CHICAGO (CBS) — During roughly the past three decades, there have been six cities that have been the worst for murders, per capita.

If you said Chicago made that list you would be …

Wrong.

As CBS Chicago correspondent Mason Johnson has reported in great detail, Chicago is not the “murder capital” of anything.

Officially the FBI states the Chicago metro area murder rate is about 7 per 100,000 residents, but that includes much more than just the city itself.

Within the city limits, that rate climbs to around 18–about four times the national average rate of around 4.7 murders per 100,000 people.

Obviously, that is too many murders. In recent years, New York City and Los Angeles have fewer murders than Chicago.

Still, that figure comes nowhere close to the worst rates historically in the United States.

Here is the breakdown, according to an analysis by Pew Research. The number represents the highest murder rate during the time the city held the title of so-called “Murder Capital Of The United States.”

1985-1987: Detroit, 58.2 murders per 100,000 residents

1988-1992: Washington, D.C. 71.9

1993-1995: New Orleans 85.8

1996: Washington, D.C.

1997: Richmond, Va.

1998-1999: Washington, D.C.

2000-2004: New Orleans, 42.1

2005: Birmingham, Ala 44.3

2006: Detroit

2007-2009: New Orleans, 94.7 (2007, the highest rate during the years studied)

2010: Flint, Mich.

2011: New Orleans

2012: Flint, Mich. 62

That’s six cities that have swapped with each other for worst murder rates in the past 27 years. Two cities, New Orleans and Washington have had the worst murder problem for 19 of those 27 years.

New Orleans has ranked No. 1 for 11 of those years.

Washington D.C. for 8 eight.

While the statistics for this year won’t be available until 2015, Chicago is basically on pace for the same amount of murders as 2013, and much lower than 2012.

One can expect to see its murder rate to remain about the same, or perhaps a bit lower that 18/100,000, and nowhere near the worst in the country.

This is exactly why guns need to be banned.  It's ridiculous to have this many senseless killings

LOL, Chicago and DC had a hand gun ban, guess what? The gun violence rate went up 48%.

You see criminals don't obey laws.

Not going to go through those one by one, but it looks like most if not all of those cities listed are ran by liberals.

Yeah, maybe. (I'm too lazy to check, too, lol.)

Not sure if it's so much a conservative/liberal thing.  Probably has more to do with the percentage of the population that is poor as hell.
