You can make the point you're trying to make without inventing nonsense numbers for the murder rate in Chicago, which is a tragedy worth taking seriously rather than snarking about. Thanks. The actual numbers for what's going on in Chicago are remarkably easy to get.

What are the numbers? You're.. proud of Chicago? Lori lightfoot????

Of course I'm proud of Chicago. I'm not especially a fan of Lightfoot. Any other questions I can answer for you?
