  1. If you look at the actual data, the per-capita murder rate in Chicago is well below that of several other cities. Two factors lead to the media hype and hysteria: Chicago has a large population, so there are more murders in total, and many members of the media have offices in Chicago, but not in the other, more violent, cities, so it is easier for them to cover violence in Chicago. So far, for 2023, Chicago ranks 10th in per capita murder rate, behind such garden sports as St Louis, Baltimore, New Orleans, Detroit, Cleveland, Kansas City, Memphis, and others. No, I am not a Chicago resident. I live in the burbs of Detroit.
