Knoxville Has Had More Deadly Shootings In 2021 Than Chicago Has Had (Per Capita)

[NCFisher]

That may be true, but not boiling it down to locality can be disingenuous.

That's true of ANY state, though. On the same basis as every other state, TN still has a ridiculously high violent crime rate.

29 people shot, killed in Knoxville in 2021 | What’s being done?

524 Murders as of Sept 1. (8.9 M ppl) 5.9 per 100k
At Summer’s End, Chicago Murders Are Outpacing Any Year In A Quarter Century

If criminals would just obey laws and not steal others property life would be so much simpler.

I'm just glad that so many do obey the law who otherwise would engage in the act were it not illegal.

Discuss.

I wouldn’t expect anything less from your political point of view. Let’s find any mid size city in the US that resides in a conservative state and find a crime rate that supports that view. Then, use it as a defense to say well every decent size city in the US has a crime problem and it has nothing to do with the policies of those in charge. I get it. It probably is frustrating to know that my political views are harmful to the nation so you have to deflect or defend.

Lulz yeah that’s the clear takeaway. Laws stop criminals from committing crime

 

[McDad]

Nashville is 10 homicides per 100k

Salt Lake City is 6 per 100k

At least he is consistent, you have to admire his devotion to the ideology. If the party tells him it’s the right decision, then every part of his life is viewed through that lens. Mao would be proud

Sure. Consistently dumb as hell. Absolutely even.

I'll break it down for you.
Laws keep many from committing acts which they otherwise would were it not illegal.
No one has ever said laws keep criminals from committing crime. That's just an absurd argument used by nuts trying to downplay the obvious necessity of laws.

I think you may be confused as to who the free thinkers actually are.

We damn sure know of one who isn’t

Are you suggesting that if murder, DUI, rape, assault, etc. weren’t specifically prohibited that the average citizen would be committing them routinely? That’s a bold take

Your idea of freedom is bestowed by political leaders

I am suggesting that more would.
That's an easy and obvious take.

You're unknowingly proving my point.

Is this Knox metro vs Chicago metro or Knox city vs Chicago metro?

Chicago city only is 2.9 million
Chicago metro is 9.6 million
Knoxville metro is 879K

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

No.

But the drug dealer's gun originally belonged to her and was stolen.

Too bad she wasn't responsible enough to keep it locked up.

wow.

Knoxville metro is 879K

Google provided '21 population for "Knoxville" and "Chicago"

Knoxville metro is 3 per 100k.
Chicago metro is 5 per 100k.

 

[landscapingvol]

You’re giving yourself way too much credit on actually having one

 

[DynaLo]

TN has a disproportionately high violent crime rate, among the handful of highest in the nation.

We still can’t convince Arkansas or Mississippi to take Memphis.

 

[DynaLo]

No.

But the drug dealer's gun originally belonged to her and was stolen.

Too bad she wasn't responsible enough to keep it locked up.

To bad she wasn’t wearing it or she could have effectively stopped it from being stolen by what would be the now DOA drug dealer.

 

[Weezer]

No.

But the drug dealer's gun originally belonged to her and was stolen.

Too bad she wasn't responsible enough to keep it locked up.

Sounds similar to Cuomo's defense for groping women. Not his fault, it's their fault.

 

[NCFisher]

oops

 

[ButchPlz]

Anyone want to really play this per capita game?
