I am not even going to look it up, but the drill era probably wasn't even worse than the 1920s, 30s, 70s, 80s and 90s.

This is why you should look it up

Over 20 US cities broke their all time murder rate during the drill era. Certain cities: Philadelphia, Memphis, & Baltimore just off the top of my head broke their all time murder rate in the last decade, records previously set in the crack era

TYRONE GA!
I’ve never felt unsafe walking around in Chicago.

Memphis on the other hand. :lupe:

Memphis was fine for me. Finding out I was in a "bad" spot during the years I spent there travelling for work was kinda funny (Hickory Hill)

Most of my Chicago time was near O'Hare by my old job spot, so ehhh to that area which is mostly cac. Midway area was aite, nothing crazy.

As someone who actually lives in Chicago, the actual murder/shooting numbers are lower than they were back in the 70s-90s (but they have risen in recent years compared to the 2000s). However back then, it was moreso in specific areas. Now it’s more random where it can happen. A lot more “this never happens in this area” stories than in the past.

Also, people are surviving gunshots more than in years past because of medical advancements. I remember the story about HS basketball legend, Ben Wilson. They say it’s possible he could’ve survived, but there was no trauma center in the area, and as a result, he died from his gunshot wounds.
I had this debate with a family member

I’m sure just as many people are shot today than the 80s and 90s

Just more people surviving

Been going to Chicago for years as a Detroiter and love the city. Never in the RAQ part so I can’t speak on that. Sad the city is stained with a bad rep.

The latest stuff I could find on the homicide rate doesn't even have Chicago in the top 20.

:francis:One day this "gotcha" will die, and the truth will be exposed that there's cities that have bigger crime rates than Chitown and the usual suspects with black mayors.

Its almost as if people believe in bullshyt spewed by cacs with a agenda. My mind was completely blown by some lady from Chicago a while back, expressed that Savannah was worse than Chicago.

Almost as if new media doesn't fully cover murders and crime until the "right time" :sas1:

Chicago has had the most Overall murders for 13 yrs straight which is still crazy regardless if doesn’t have the highest murder rate.

Back when NY and LA was averaging 2k & 1k murders a year, they didn’t have the highest murder rate either, but it still drew the most attention, kinda like what Chicago is dealing with today.

Nah.

Especially now that more shooters have semi automatics and extended clips? Nah.
