Yet it isn't even in the top 20 cities for murder, nor the top 50 for overall crime. The only reason so many are focusing specifically on Chicago is because their cult leader told them to.

Chicago is the 3rd largest city in the US and has the highest total number of murders in the US. Why does this not matter to you?

Total numbers are meaningless. Per capita is what counts. I'm certain you know this.

600 people were murdered in Chicago. Absolute numbers matter. How can you say that it doesn’t matter?

Also what year were 600 people murdered? Not last year and certainly not this year either.

22,830 people were like in the US as a whole. Terrifying! Why don't you care?

How many were murdered in the US? Certainly far more

I also didn't say it didn't matter.

I made no such claim, merely pointed out the absurdity of focusing so much on Chicago while completely ignoring other places like Dayton. How come you're flat out ignoring the TWENTY other cities with a higher murder rate? It's completely disingenuous of you to focus on total murders when one surely understands that total population ultimately drives that value.
