The murder rate is sky high, but the news says crime is down.

Crime stats for Indianapolis are skewed though by Indy being considered the entire county.

Actual Indy crime stats are watered down by the low crime rates of the surrounding Marion Co. areas.

How about the Seventy-two people shot in a four-day period in Chicago?

Hardly a word spoken about it.

Can you be anything but a stupid political hack, Hank?

Chicago Population 2013

The current population of Chicago is estimated to be 2.715 million people, which is the 3rd largest city in the United States of America. This is a population growth of approximately 0.3% from the last record of the population. The population of Chicago has historically been greater than the population of Manhattan, but less than the population of Los Angeles. Based on the total land area and the total population of the city, the population density of Chicago is estimated to be about 11,864.4 people per square mile.

Largest US Cities by Population

3    Chicago    Illinois    2,707,100

12    Indianapolis    Indiana    827,600

Chicago's population is more than 3 times - over 300% greater - than that of Indianapolis.

Not to mention, the topic IS Indianapolis NOT Chicago.

Now, it's not only the murder rate, but also home invasions!

Rash of home invasions

At least eight Central Indiana home invasions have occurred in the past two months.
