This is what socialism and being soft on crime gets you.
I believe that the majority of people don’t fully grasp the condition of two of Chicagos most important public transportation lines(the Red and Blue lines). In four years time there was never a week that went by where I wasnt harassed by a drug addled homeless person a minimum of 3-4 times. At 5:00 a.m. the business people on the platform all try and run to the least worst car. The trick is to avoid cars with tons of homeless people but the most important thing is to stay far away from a car that has nobody on it. An empty car usually means the excrement smells is so bad that even the homeless inhabitants cant stand it. Once a month I was kicked off a car for a “medical emergency” which was code for a death from overdose…but the single worst thing is being on a car where everyone suspects that there’s a dead body but no one says anything because they don’t want to have to get a $100 uber home for the second time that week…this is not one word of exaggeration…

This seemed high....I queried Grok. Below are numbers for top 5 cities by number of shootings from start of 2025 till now. Still very high and Chicago is insane for the size of the city and where it sits for shootings and murders.
Top 5 Cities Ranked by People Shot (Primarily 2025 Data + 2026 YTD Notes)
Rankings driven by 2025 volumes; 2026 YTD adds proportionally small numbers and doesn’t change the order based on available early data.
- Chicago, IL(Population: ~2.67 million)
- 2025 People shot: Shooting incidents <2,000 (first time this century; down 34.5% from 2024); exact victim total not detailed in summaries but historically aligns with highest absolute volume among major cities.
- Deaths (homicides): 417 (down ~29% from 2024; lowest since 1965).
- 2026 YTD note: January alone saw 123 people shot and 29 homicides (continued sharp decline). Full YTD not yet aggregated, but early months track national downward trend.
- Philadelphia, PA(Population: ~1.55 million)
- 2025 People shot: Shootings declined ~24.5% (exact victim total not broken out in available summaries; incidents and victims both down significantly).
- Deaths (homicides): 220 (down from 268).
- 2026 YTD note: Early 2026 data shows continued drops (e.g., 21 homicides through mid-January per some trackers; full YTD preliminary).
- New York City, NY(Population: ~8.3 million)
- 2025 People shot: 856 (historic low; down from prior years; 688 shooting incidents).
- Deaths (homicides): 263 (MCCA; some NYPD preliminary tallies cite ~305—minor variance in counting).
- 2026 YTD note: January: 47 shooting victims and 12 murders (record lows for the month).
4–5. Houston, TX and Los Angeles, CA (exact 2025 shooting-victim totals not detailed in public summaries, ranked here on homicide volume and historical patterns):
- Houston (Pop: ~2.3 million): Homicides 272 (down from 331); no city-specific shooting victim total released in aggregates.
- Los Angeles (Pop: ~3.82 million): Homicides 230 (down from 284); similar pattern.
- 2026 YTD note: No detailed early-2026 shooting victim aggregates available yet; follows national decline.
Won’t even make the news. It’s just normal because it happens on the south side and it’s black people. Disgusting. These people deserve so much better and we are letting them flounder and live in complete filth under the guise of compassion.
Despicable governance

Crime is down they say. Why is this allowed to happen?
No law abiding citizen can walk down this street. I won’t even blame Mayor Johnson for this, I blame all democrats. This bas been going on since my wife taught down there 20 years ago. Normal
People can’t walk down the street.
Send in the National Guard

2 cops shot. Doesn’t even register on the news. But crime is going down. Ok you clowns, whatever.
Democratic justice system is a HUGE failure. The SAFET act is a huge failure. Democratic policies have been proven failures, time to reverse them. It doesn’t have to be this way. See El Salvador. Lock up the criminals and the crime goes away. But democrats are protecting the criminals. It’s that simple.
Mayor Johnson….

Meanwhile South Carolina is twenty states behind Illinois in violent crime rates. Nice thread, @fatpiggy . You’re a real genius.

How many people do you think will get shot this weekend?
The over under is 40, what side you taking?
Friday morning to Monday morning. Over / under is 40
Hahaha! Going well under. And gee, I wonder why Chicago has more shootings than Spartanburg. Please help us with that math, Stephen Hawking.
Way to ignore that Southern red states are the most dangerous. Maybe you should focus on your own backyard, 20 states worse than Illinois in violent crime. I’d rather be in the great city of Chicago than whatever redneck hellhole you live in. Keep pissing your pants over it, dork.
What are the racial demographics of the southern states you’re referring to? Is there a correlation there between the demo and increased crime rates? Just curious how say Mississippi or Louisiana compare to Illinois or Indiana in racial demo and poverty. Care to elaborate?Hahaha! Going well under.
