I was in Chicago I walked about freely all over downtown and the north side. I didn’t see any muggings, murders, robberies. I am sure most of the crime statistics are mostly car thefts, people stealing amazon packages. Man hole cover thefts(S). Lots of domestic violence. Drug deals gone bad. Lots of white collar crime. I’m sure the national guard or maybe the marines can fix that problem.
