On a per capita basis, Chicago is not the deadliest. It gains all the attention because it is so large and has huge numbers. I’m not sure what realistic remedies can be brought to tamp the numbers down.
It’s not quite rocket science but it does take a small measure of courageous leadership. Chicago is alone among the big cities in the country in terms of its murder rate. Leftist bastions like New York and Los Angeles have at least been willing to apply at least a minimal level of rationality and have lowered their murder rates to 1950’s over last 10 or 20 years. It doesn’t have to be this way in Chicago either.
