Yep, the focus on murder is a distraction. That’s why the left uses it. The reality of CC is that it lowers petty crime, and less than murder felonies, the vast majority of which never need a cop.
Crime statistics in Chicago are joke and likely a tenth of what the real crime rate is. They have to show up to a murder, otherwise they avoid taking a police report. I suspect it’s the same in every major city in the world, at least the ones run by libs.
Murders make headlines that’s why the politicians can’t ignore them.
