Democrat mayor dead fish Emanuel=WBEZ reports, while some 2,000 U.S. troops have been killed in Afghanistan since 2001, more than 5,000 people have been killed by gun fire in Chicago during that time, based on Department of Defense and FBI data.
Chicago's murder rate is also currently quadruple that of New York and double Los Angeles' rate.

Gop Mayor Guiliani=NYC recognized by the F.B.I. as the safest large city in America for the past five years.

You are aware that Emanuel took office in 2011 right?


Oh, and when was the last time you took a walk in Brownsville? You seem to be avoiding that question.

Good for you, do you want me to pull up articles that both involve those two neighborhoods and violent crime? Because while NYC might be the safest big city, that doesn't mean it has no crime.

Also for Chicago, much of it's crime happens in 25% of the city, which is mostly concentrated on the southside and a little bit on the westside.

Sounds like quite an active violent summer in Mott Haven

Thought I would throw in Brownsville too, just for fun.

Oh and again to remind you, Rahm took office in 2011, not 2001, so you really shouldn't blame him for things he didn't have any say over.
