ChicagoÂ’s murder rate of 15.65 per 100,000 people looks nothing like the American 4.2 rate, the Midwestern 4.5 or the IllinoisÂ’ 5.6 rates, but it does look like the murder rates in failed countries like Rwanda, Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe. To achieve ChicagoÂ’s murder rate, African countries usually have to experience a bloody genocidal civil war or decades of tyranny.
But Chicago isnÂ’t even all that unique. Or the worst case scenario. That would be New Orleans which at an incredible 72.8 murder rate is ten times higher than the national average. If New Orleans were a country, it would have the 2nd highest murder rate in the world, beating out El Salvador.
Louisiana went red for Romney 58 to 40, but Orleans Parish went blue for Obama 80 to 17.
St. Louis has a murder rate just a little lower than Belize. Baltimore has a worse murder rate than South Africa and Detroit has a worse murder rate than Colombia. Obama won both St. Louis and Baltimore by comfortable margins. He won DetroitÂ’s Wayne County 73 to 26.
Homicide rates like these show that something is broken, but it isnÂ’t broken among the Romney voters rushing to stock up on assault rifles every time Obama begins threatening their right to buy them; itÂ’s broken among ObamaÂ’s base.
I posted this in another thread, and the figures are revealing, to say the least.
Cities that are Democratic bastions have a gun murder rate SO MUCH HIGHER than the rest of their state that it skews the numbers, allowing leftist bedwetters to look like they know what they're talking about while spewing nothing but baseless propaganda.
Go **** yourself, Black Fable, you're a lying, twisting hack that has no shame!
Look who's all butthurt after I presented the facts. I know you right wingers live in a delusional fantasy land where everything is rainbows and unicorns, but the fact is all the trash and murder in this country comes mainly from the red neck GOP states.
You right wing morons ***** and piss about chicago, but illinois isn't even in the top 10 worst states
You blame "democratic bastions" for the GOP states high murder rates, but how many black people live in alaska? or arizona?
Again you are trying to deflect and make up a bunch of bullshit because you have been put in your place. Grow up and actually learn something.
