If you're responding to me, specifically what bad faith argument did I make? I initially made a moderate (but reasonable) snarky comment towards what I believe to a very bad faith argument by @jf22 where I would posit that he used mind-reading to assign certain motives that do not appear in evidence.
As far as the Google searching goes, I confess to not memorizing the entire corpus of national crime statistics. I should do more objective reading in this regard by looking at official sources like the FBI Criminal statistics. But I looked into the crime stats as per user @Philadelphia's provided Wikipedia link and it appears that Chicago is indeed in the Top 10 range in per-capita murder, if I'm reading that right, and is by far the biggest city in that range, so mentioning it in the context of crime-ridden cities seemed reasonable for that and other factors. But I'm not sure why it wouldn't be reasonable to mention it, why mentioning it would agitate or alarm, or what other cities are appropriate or not appropriate to mention for what reasons.
I'm attempting to be polite and precise in everything I mentioned. If I got any facts wrong, please clarify so I can be further informed. Thank you.
