"Seemingly ignoring" is a stupid and uninformed phrase. How does the idiot who barfed it out, or the idiot who copied and pasted it here, know what the mayor is doing, thinking, and seeing?

 

Chicago has a police department. Incidents of violence are their purview. However, they can't PREVENT violence, and it's stupid and dishonest to suggest that they or the mayor can--or could have.

 

In any event, this is NOT an issue that Stupid Asshole Trump has any business interfering with.

the current leader in 2026 is Birmingham AL which is almost double Chicago's murder rate.     

please don't hold your breath waiting for David Or Tom to shit their pants about it.

 According to - https://usafacts.org/articles/which-cities-have-the-highest-murder-rates/ -- Cook County, Illinois, home to Chicago and its metropolitan area, had 719 homicides in 2024 — the most in the nation. The second highest was Los Angeles County, California, whose 88 cities, including Los Angeles, had 569 homicides.

As usual stupid Kevin can't read. While multiple shootings occur on a daily basis,the mayor declared an emergency over a non- existent problem.

The issue was whether Trump should interfere. He shouldn't.

 

If Chicagoans don't like how the mayor does his job, they can elect a new one. That's called democracy--you may have heard of it.

 

It's not my business, or yours, or Trump's, how Chicago is run.

That's not a RATE, it's an AMOUNT. The only relevant statistics is the homicide RATE per capita. If COURSE the two largest metro areas in the country have the highest NUMBER of homicides.

 

Considering only the number and not the rate is using Tom-stats.

David is a simpleton.  He can't get past a raw number.

  What is more important to those living in Chicago - the rate or the NUMBER of murders?

The rate, STOOOOPID. That's a true measure of the actual danger. The number means nothing all by itself, without context.

Nope. Danger is the probability of a negative event. And a number by itself is not a measure of probability, which is always a percentage between 0 and 100. One cannot obtain a percentage of anything with one number by itself.

 

My third graders understand this concept, David. With effort, you can, too.
