Chicago: The Deadliest Global City.

[QUOTE="chessmaster1989"][QUOTE="worlock77"]

I can't say that I've ever felt particularly unsafe walking around Chicago at night.

worlock77

Yes, and central. Not bad areas no, but that's not really relevant to the point.

[QUOTE="chessmaster1989"] Where were you walking? North side?chessmaster1989

Right. But the post I was responding to said "Chicago", with no accounting for specific areas. Thus I responded likewise.

So 505 murders last year in a city of 2.7 million. The town in southern Illinois where my parents live has a population of like 6,500 and had 3 murders last year. I wonder what that murder rate would be.

Chicago never feels safe enough to walk outside alone late at night. gamah_killah

In certain areas. If I'm in like Wicker Park I don't feel in danger at all.

[QUOTE="MetalDogGear"] That's disproportionate Of course there'd be less murders in your town. There's less people !MetalDogGear

No, I wasn't. I was making an implication that you still don't seem to be getting. Also, look at my signature - notice the location I have on it?

I had to enable it

And yet Chicago also has one of the most strictest gun control polices in the country. Guess it hasn't helped them out too well has it?

[QUOTE="MetalDogGear"] I guess you were just asking a question I don't know what the murder rate would beMetalDogGear

This thread is talking about the murder rate in Chicago. Murder rate is number of murders relative to population. Thus comparitavely that small town would have a considerably higher murder rate then Chicago, which is you just read something that just stated the town and the murder rate would sound pretty scary. The point is that just throwing around numbers with no context is meaningless.

You guys do realize that handgun ban in Chicago was struck down years ago, right?sSubZerOo

Man, why you gotta be bringing facts into this?

Trashy city with trashy people with a crappy football team and ugly girls.DaBrainz

False, some people, but everywhere has them, true (I guess, don't care about football), and again, everywhere has them.

That's a lie. Chicago has a gun ban, nobody can be killed with a gun in a gun free zone.

ristactionjakso

Actually this is a lie. Chicago does not have, and never has had, a gun ban. They require that all firearms be registered with the local police, they require a city gun permit. At one point they had effectively tried to ban handguns, but that law was struck down.

That's the **** I don't like.

Love how DaBrainz, a Lions fan, always tries talking sh*t about the Bears :lol:JML897

There are simply too many varibles to say that strict gun laws do or do not work. One can easily point at Chicago and say "look, gun laws don't work". And one can just as easily point to Japan and say "see, strict gun laws do work". The problem is that neither statement takes any other factors into account.

[QUOTE="Ace6301"][QUOTE="hartsickdiscipl"]

Gotta love that gun control. It's really working wonders.

hartsickdiscipl

The rate should be falling significantly if the laws are worth a damn. The enforcement of existing laws has always been the issue.. not enacting more.

Murder rate is largely gangs killing each other.

Gigantic gap between Amsterdam and Paris, considering the lower tier cities. Hmm.

Fvck yeah, 1.7

No guidance,easy access to guns and too many gangs.Just look at this video I love the song but come on,how a 16 year old get those type of guns.No one cares either cause they think they're stupid gang bangers,these kids have potenial to change.
