Suggestion, Hillary: take a stroll in Harlem, Brooklyn, Detroit, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, etc., and if you're not accosted at some point, then feel free to lecture us.
Most rural and suburban people have been afraid of cities for decades, despite an overall continued drop in crime. But with the recent bump in the crime rates, republicans have managed to tie that to democrats, and have convinced those rural and suburban people that crime is worse than ever, even though cities are still safer than they were even 10 years ago.
So, even though I don't understand why republicans continue to hang on every word she speaks, from what I've seen in the short clip in the OP, Hillary Clinton is right.
Well that’s not really true. Having been born and raised in Chicago and suburbs, I can tell you the truth. When I was a teenager living in the suburbs there was no fear in me or my parents about my traveling on the metra alone and walking throughout the entire Chicago Loop, or with my younger sister along. We did it often. No people were “afraid” of the city.
The change in recent years has been disastrous. A once beautiful city is now crime infested. It’s not a made-up story. It’s a fact.

That's kind of silly. Doesn't she have security?
Do you have any idea where Bill's office is, by the way?

That's my point. Most of us who are out and about in public don't have security.
I'm aware of where Bill's office is. It's certainly not within the vicinity that Hillary would frequent; again, my point.

How do you know Hillary doesn't make it to 125th street?

I don't, and I really don't care.
Back to topic.
Soaring crime is a reality across the country. Stats support that alarming fact. Political leanings don't mean squat when people are accosted on the street, or worse, have a gun shoved in their face during a carjacking incident.
