What is wrong in Chicago?

Except that's not even close to true.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Damn you CBS. 

Is it not epic? In total numbers yes, per capita no. https://www.thetrace.org/2016/10/chicago...pita-rate/

Makes me wonder why it is not on the radar.

The remark wasn't intended to be 'true'.

It was intended to be perniciously dripping with vile sarcasm.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Shit, I can never recognize myself.

It's crazy that these American places like Detroit, Chicago and New Orleans are considered first world.

These places have a higher murder rate than the entire uk.
And in the U.K. this isn't even reported optimistically, the BBC still reports it from a pesemistic outlook of growing murder rates in England but were not even close to some American places.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
