Also the guy definitely shouldn’t have been walking free but counting arrests instead of convictions is really, really stupid. Ted Bundy confessed to 30 murders, he has only been arrested 3 times. MLK Jr was arrested 30 times, and convicted 0 times. Which one of those people are more dangerous?

72 times?

Yeah well considering this isn’t the 60s anymore, if someone has been arrested 72 times, it’s safe to assume they’re not a good person

enough to constitute calling it as such, and certainly does not require the deployment of national guard forces

Extremely misleading to use change in percentage. Chicago doesn't even fall in the top 10 cities with the highest crime rates.

Actually, the crime rate per 100000 residents in 2019 was about 943. In 2024 that rate had dropped to 573, and by all estimates should still be well below the 2019 rate this year

Because I didn’t know her, I’m gonna take the side of empathy and demanding justice. But let’s just say it comes out that she’s a dem then I’ll stop caring. Years ago there was a young woman murdered by an illegal in Iowa. I felt bad for her family until they endorsed lax immigration policies. Then I stopped because they voted for the policies that led to their own daughter’s death. I don’t have empathy for people whose own actions lead to their demise

Yes, meaning the crime rate has significantly decreased in the past five years. Like #2 said, not even in the top ten cities with the highest crime rates. Which entirely refutes your point.

Why is your empathy conditional on her political stance? I just feel like if you Actually cared about crime in Chicago, you’d be mad no matter who the crime happened to. So either Chicago is a hellhole and people need to be protected, or the people you don’t like in Chicago are getting hurt and Thats a good thing and it doesn’t matter

I’m not sure how you picked up that I’m angry by any means, I apologize if I gave that impression. It’s a genuine tragedy this happened, and wrong in every sense of the word. That doesn’t make your claims (that Chicago is a war zone, or that this is somehow the fault of democrats, or that the deployment of national guard forces is necessary) any more correct. Based on the facts, none of those things are true

The news is known for being sensationalist. It’s actually a pretty well researched phenomenon where it’s significantly less violent now than in the 90s but most people think it’s more violent, because news gives them a false perception. This is why looking at the statistics is important

Anonymous #6 4w

Basically when nothing happens it never gets on the news. When something violent happens it gets on the news. So even if that level of violence isn’t common it gets sensationalized

It’s not unsubstantiated just because you don’t want to believe it. Some of my friends are republicans and some are democrats.

To be fair, op was right that the guy had been previously arrested 72 times, at least supposedly by media estimates. The guy was only actually convicted 15 times. The other 60 could’ve been any kind of false accusations or whatever, but he wasn’t convicted of anything outside the 15. Using 72 is still misleading in an attempt fear monger, but technically true
