Chicago is the worst and way different than anywhere else and the concentration of violence on the south side/east side and west side is sky high. It has the most gang members of any city in North America with an estimated 150-250k. Chicago had almost as many murders last year as New York City and Los Angeles combined despite having 4 and a half times less people than LA and NYC combined. The overall per capita crime and murder rate isn’t as high as some smaller cities because it has so many rich people and nice areas downtown and on the north side because it’s so big. But vast swaths of the city(

[@HarrisonCountyStudio]

@@bkelly625 I’ve been in some bad places on the east coast. Baltimore MD is probably the worst I’ve witnessed. Not as bad as Chicago, but close on murder rate per capita. … Here is the kicker, Baltimore as well as Chicago, Philadelphia, and D.C. quit reporting numbers to the FBI during COVID-19 I guess they believe no news is good news.

I've worked security in downtown St. Louis for a while. The two days prior to my first day, somebody was shot in the face with a shotgun and then tossed in the fountain out front. They stressed that we not walk outside the property in uniform unless we had body armor and a defensive weapon of some sort. This was right across the street from the Federal Reserve but its not as bad as East St.Louis, I give you props for that.

[@jace2802]

@@YuriVelcroripper sounds about right I think I remember hearing about that. At the gas station right? If not there's a shooting almost every night it seems, you can tell from the faint gun shots you can hear pop off at nights Edit and yes same rules do not go outside lock the doors and patrol the area we talk to homeless people through doors to tell them to scram and have to call police for basically every incident. I don't work at a hospital (thank God) but we are around large sums if money so armed security is required plus we work directly with local PD
