I don't follow this sub forum really at all anymore. This thread just popped up for me and I wanted to reply. A person is just as safe visiting the shiny metal bean thing in the day as you'd be grabbing some food from Cultiva at 11th & 'G' over lunch. But roll down to Garfield Park for an Italian Beef after dark as compared to getting a coffee from that same Cultiva and then going for a walk in the south bottoms after dark...no comparison. The trip to Garfield Park is dangerous af, and the murder rates back that up. 1 Link to comment

He doesn’t care about the answer. He just wanted his narrative out in the form of a question Which you could've refuted. My narrative is accurate: Republicans are crazy and live in an alternate reality, and they do so because they get support from people like you. No matter how destructive the policy, party loyalty is always going to win out. I poke your buttons because it's easy and because you're a perfect microcosm for what's going on in this country. If I ask you to estimate how many deaths Trump caused by politicizing mask wearing, you can't answer. Because answering would make you admit that your party is responsible for harm, and maybe your continued support has something to do with that as well. 3 1 Link to comment

It's behind Shreveport, Little Rock, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Memphis, Baton Rouge and Baltimore. You know what the number one per-capita murder city in America is? St. Louis, Mussurrah. 2 Link to comment

St. Louis, Mussurrah. I definitely trust your stats for sure. I started following a YouTuber from Chicago last year who goes down and hangs out (on his motorcycle, hard to explain the setup) in various neighborhood and then talks crime stats as he's doing it. As it pertains to a comparison of "danger" between Lincoln & Chicago I don't believe there's any comparison. But as you mention, there's way more than one method/metric to measure danger. And St. Louis being #1 is not surprising. 1 Link to comment

On page 132 you had said: "We just spent the weekend in Chicago, a city the right-wingers would like you to believe is a hellscape of violence and fear. Nope. We had a great time. As safe there as we are here in Lincoln." 3 1 Link to comment
knapplc Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 So I did. Thanks for fact-checking me. We are not as safe at Cultiva Coffee as we are in the worst part of Chicago after dark. Link to comment

Not even some regurgitation of Newsmax talking points? I'm disappointed. I thought you could muster something to defend disastrous policies leading to the deaths of a few hundred thousand Americans. Or heck, even denying healthcare to the poor. I'll ask you an easy one: if Trump runs again in 2024 against Biden, are you voting for him? 2 1 Link to comment
