Yea, and murder / violent crime rates have historically been going way down in the last ~4 decades over here in the US (like half of what it was a couple decades ago). You'd never guess it from watching the news.

  Nope, the murder rate in Chicago now is still lower than it was for most of the late 70s and the early 90s.

  2016 was a bad year and comparable to the 90s, but prior years murder was down 50% from decades earlier in Chicago.
