First of all, Chicago is not even among the 20 most violent cities in USA.
Second, what do the world safest cities and countries have in common?
They are all places with strict gun laws.

Hopefully one day those evil liberal places will be as civilized, economically productive, progressive, safe and desiderable as Mississippi, Alabama, Kansas and Louisiana... oh wait... nevermind...

How many gang members in Chicago? If you're going to compare soldiers deaths to total soldiers in Afghanistan then we need to compare gang deaths to gang bangers.

Chicago is a pretty safe city unless you're a thug looking for trouble. If thugs want to kill each other who cares?

Why don't you show us a comparison of the black vs. non-black homicide rate in some major US cities?

If you've ever lived in Chicago and knew it's history you would understand better.

Why is it that Illinois without Chicago has a murder rate around that of the "safe european countries".....10 times less than CHicago despite having less strict gun laws?

Ooooops!
