Because stats don't exist if you personally haven't been a stat?

The non-logic and defense of criminal behavior is mind boggling. I guess there's no ISIS because I haven't been killed by ISIS yet.

Rogers Park isn't a low crime neighborhood, and there is no inner city neighborhood where your claim would be proven correct. Only a fool wouldn't exercise caution in RP.

It isn't a high crime nieghborhood either, and crime there continues to go down.

Rogers Park -- Crime in Chicagoland -- chicagotribune.com

For the past 30 days it's been on par with Lincoln Square and Lakeview

Even in a high-crime area, which Rogers Park isn't, a random person's likelihood of being assaulted on the street is rare. Do you even know how numbers work? Even in the areas of the city with the highest crime rate, you are very unlikely to be physically harmed. But if you want to be scared over nothing, have at it.
