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.

- 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.
