Because either of you knew that before I told you.

Honestly?  I didn't know the exact crime numbers for Chicago over that specific period of time, but I do know about Waco, because I live here, and worked with survivors of sexual assault, incest, gay bashing (Even heterosexuals that are Mistaken for gay) and others with various sex/gender issues.

I'm not surprised, though.  What have you done, judged someone because you saw the story in the news?  Signed up for Jury Duty?  How many lives have you saved, how many suicidal people have you helped Live with their traumatic experiences, and go on with their lives?  How many victims have you helped have a healthy sex life after they have been raped?

Did you look up those statistic for yourself, or did you get them from an article you skimmed when it popped up in your news feed?  Because I've been fighting this, Rape Culture, for decades.  You already judge me, but if you have the intestinal fortitude to turn that on yourself.

What have you done?  Who are you helping?  Have you even helped yourself?  No, I didn't know that, and neither did you, until it was useful for your rhetoric.  Talk is free in this country, but if you actually cared, you actually be out there, trying to help someone, or seeking help for yourself.

There seems to be two issues confused here.  Corruption and homicide.

It seems that Chicago is now in second place, and Washington DC has taken the lead.

1. Washington, D.C.

“The president can’t have a conflict of interest,” President Trump said as he weighed options for profiting from his office.

“Go buy Ivanka’s stuff,” White House spokeswoman Kellyanne Conway said, referring to the president’s daughter (i.e., the one who works in the White House).

“No elected official of the Government of the United States…shall be admitted to any share or part of this lease” reads the Old Post Office charter, which Trump now owns. World leaders love the idea of paying Trump family before having a conversation with him, and they do so every day.

Somehow, the new ethics chief in D.C. has no problem with flagrant corruption. So if you like swamps, this is the presidency from heaven. The feeling is contagious since Trump brought his kids, business partners, and lawyers to the White House.

People barely blinked when billionaire Charles Koch sent Paul Ryan a check for $500,000 after getting billions in free money from the GOP tax plan. Washington, D.C. is officially the world capital of pay-to-play. After years of low- and mid-level corruption, the executive branch and Congress are fully on board. Welcome to Trump’s D.C., the most corrupt city in America.

Chicago does get a bad rap when the media portrays it has the murder capital of the U.S. Statistics show that per one-hundred thousand people, our murder rate has been decreasing, although our clearance rate for solving homicides is an abysmal 17%.
Thank you, Lois, for posting that graph.

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds.

If I may, Dollars embezzled, and paid in bribes to government officials would be a better metric for "Corruption" than Murders.  If we're calling Chicago the most Violent city in America, then Murders would be on point.
