"The United States has 6 of the 50, right here."

And Chicago wasn't even one of them. But how can they not include Iraq, with the almost daily bombings? You can't say they aren't murders just because they are politically motivated. And what about Syria and Egypt? If the government kills people, it doesn't count?

No doubt rahm needs to do some work to get the #1 spot back.

Note that this list is ranked by the RATIO of murders per population - so even though ChiCongo has a lot committed by a small segment of the city, the ratio is low because of the millions of other law-abiding residents included in the city’s census.

Which shows just how bad things are in large cities like Detroit and Oakland ....
