Chicago's keeping it classy with "TRAIN".

For Chicago, I'd expect "at the crime scene" to be more common.

Chicago is behind the following in terms of murder/manslaughter per capita:

New Orleans, Detroit, Newark, Baltimore, Oakland, Kansas City, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Cincinnati, Stockton, Cleveland, Memphis, DC, and Miami (in that order, from most deaths/capita to least) [0].

You were saying?

The fact that other cities have a worse crime rate does not make Chicago's crime rate okay.

Pretty sure it was a joke anyway, for some reason Chicago has replaced Detroit in "you'll get shot" references.

I was saying Chicago's a hellhole, just like all those other hellholes you listed--it's just that the GP mentioned Chicago particularly.

That's probably Detroit.
