So no one steals laptops/phones/wallets from vulnerable people walking through the worst parts of Chicago? As I said before, that's legitimately interesting if true. Would be nice to see some sort of motivation-based breakdown of crime, not sure if those numbers exist.
- tptacek 9y agoYou're as likely to get mugged in Chicago as you are in any big city. You saw the bet I offered downthread. If you think I'm wrong, take it. What I won't let you do is move the goalposts. You invoked "south Chicago" as a symbol of urban violence so great that a person like yourself couldn't function in it unarmed. That was bogus on several different levels, only a few of which we've described so far.
