"Chicago’s murder rate of 15.65 per 100,000 people looks nothing like the American 4.2 rate, the Midwestern 4.5 or the Illinois’ 5.6 rates, but it does look like the murder rates in failed countries like Rwanda, Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe. To achieve Chicago’s murder rate, African countries usually have to experience a bloody genocidal civil war or decades of tyranny.
But Chicago isn’t even all that unique. Or the worst case scenario. That would be New Orleans which at an incredible 72.8 murder rate is ten times higher than the national average. If New Orleans were a country, it would have the 2nd highest murder rate in the world, beating out El Salvador."

America Doesn't Have a Gun Problem, It Has a Gang Problem
The country's real "gun culture" is controlled by the urban Democratic machine.

MCPO Roger Collins - Beyond the murder stats? I don't know first-hand. I've never lived in any of the three. They also share common voting stats, heavily favoring Dems, but that's a correlation not a cause. Baltimore spends a lot on education, and Detroit spends a little. Chicago is a thriving city with City government going into debt, while Detroit is nearly a ghost-town after many years of liberal governance. A possible root cause is cultural. If you grow up without a nuclear family and without a dad present, you are far more likely to join a gang and repeat the cycle. "Free" money that rewards single parents over two-parent families probably contributes. What do you think?

All three cities have been under Democrat control for decades, commonality. Inner cities with much blight and law enforcement is being fried daily. You are correct as to the root cause, but determining how to reform the situation will not be done by pouring more money into corrupt city officials packets and their union buddie's. The Mayor of all of them needs to do what they were elected to do. Protect the citizenry.

Homicide Rates Jump in Many Major U.S. Cities, New Data Shows
The rise in homicides in cities like Chicago and Dallas has been linked by the F.B.I. director to less aggressive policing stemming from a “viral video effect.”

I disagree; it is also the cause. It is the policies of dependency and lack of personal responsibility for the individuals' decisions coupled with the driving out of businesses by high taxes and stifling regulations that causes the breakdown in the societies of those cities.
Specifically, it is the breakdown of the family unit as a result of the misguided support for single-parent families that has made the disproportionately unemployed inner-city male population irrelevant to family survival. The absence of the father figure in the home is the root cause of the undisciplined behavior of the children and the resultant high violent crime rates found in these neighborhoods.
Gangs have replaced the father figure for too many of these inner-city youths.
These are the unintended consequences of the well-intended but poorly thought-out policies the Dems have pushed in their drive for political power.

Overall, true. In major cities, crime is up. A reaction due to LEOs hesitant to act because they will be blamed for protest.

The United States as a country is quite interesting. They have some things that don't work in other countries and make in work in our own, and yet we have stuff that only works in our country that doesn't work with others.
