Mrs and Mr Matty must have visited the good part of Chicago!

Statistics released by the FBI earlier this week show that Chicago passed New York as America's murder capital in 2012 despite the Windy City only having a third of the Big Apple's population.

The FBI recorded 500 murders in Chicago in 2012, up from 431 in 2011. New York reported 419 murders in 2012, down from 515 the year before.

However, on a per-capita basis, the bureau reported that Flint, Michigan was more dangerous than the two larger cities. One in every 1,613 residents of Flint were murder victims last year, as the city of 101,558 reported 63 murders in 2012.

In all, 15 cities across American reported more than 100 murders in 2012. In addition to Chicago and New York, Detroit (386 murders), Philadelphia (331), Los Angeles (299), Baltimore (219), Houston (217), New Orleans (193), Dallas (154), Memphis (133), Oakland (126), Phoenix (124), St. Louis (113), Kansas City (105) and Indianapolis (101) all cracked the century mark in homicides.

According to the FBI's data, 69 percent of recorded homicides in American in 2012 involved the use of a gun.

Nothing compares like Chicago, they are on another level. Mexico style. 13 shot in a basketball park.

This is just fucked up IMO. Anyone know where Mr. President is from? I'm sure he's probably too busy figuring out how we can go kill some more Syrians right now though.

Meh.

500 homicides a year in a huge city and we are freaking out? This is half what it was in Chicago 10 years ago. This is the media force feed shit. The US has its lowest rate of violent crime in 30 years and they make it out like it's a war zone.

There are over 100 cities in latin america with way higher murder rates.
