In Chicago last year there were 762 homicides and its population was about 2.7 million.

There were 571 homicides (murder, manslaughter and infanticide) in the year ending March 2016 in England and Wales and its population was about 58.4 million.

That means Chicago's homicide rate is almost twenty-nine times that of England and Wales. Perhaps when he gets to grip with that, he can worry about the crime rates in other countries.
It appears Trump's tweets containing mentions of radical Islamic terror are more concerning to some ABers than actual acts of terror by Islamic extremists.

"To illustrate through a foreigners eyes how much this once great country as deteriorated, with it's increase in crime and terrorism."

Is America a safer place to live in than the UK, ANOTHEOLDGIT?
/// But this is Britain....maybe he should shut up criticising what we do, which he clearly doesn't understand, and concentrate on his own, very considerable problems. ///

It's a pity you don't take a leaf out of your own book.

You spend most of your time on here criticising and condemning what goes off across the Atlantic, than you ever do about the very considerable problems taking place in your own country.
TALBOT, it is concerning that he cannot differentiate between E & W and the UK.

It is concerning that he cannot differentiate between cause and effect.

America is a much larger country than the UK, it also is a multicultural/multiracial country and has been for a very long time, much longer than the UK.

So don't forget the saying, "when America sneezes we later catch the cold".
ANOTHEOLDGIT, Chicago's population is is less than 5% of that in the whole of England and Wales yet it has more homicides.

Is it safer to live in Chicago than the UK,?
It's a great shame that nobody famous like say... an American Football player would step up to the plate and highlight the problems in Chicago. Maybe start a movement?
It’s not comparing apples with apples. The US definition of violent crime is much narrower than ours, meaning that we appear to have a more serious problem when in fact, we don’t.
TCL: "NAOMI, do you think he is saying the increase is a result of Islamic terror?

If you do, what proportion of the 13% increase is related to Islamic terror?

If you don't, why did he mention them both? "

Neither, another one who cannot read English, what it means is that there is a 13% rise in crime and there has also been some islamic terrorism. Who'd have thought that "amid" would give the lefties so much difficulty!
Trump speaks fluent ‘non sequitur’ with English as his second language.
He keeps making monkeys out of his detractors.

Obviously it is safer to live in the UK than Chicago or the UK rather than the USA, but one must ask why?

And the one answer to that is because of the lax gun laws in the USA.

But a gun on its own is just a chunk of metal, it is the person being the gun who does the killing, hence we are back to the multicultural/multiracial build up of it's citizens.

Wasn't Al Capone Italian, are not the Mafia tied up in most crimes?

Then of course there are the blacks who are at the top of the list followed by Hispanics.
AOG.....I have promised not to use the word "drivel" any longer, so I will use one of the alternatives instead......

Complete Twaddle at 10:39.

As far as I can tell, the madman that attacked and killed all those people in Las Vegas recently wasn't "multicultural or multiracial"

Nor was the madman that attacked and killed 20 kids and 6 adults at Sandy Hook in 2012.
Mikey, does that mean that because those crimes were committed by indigenous Americans the threat from Islam should be disregarded?
naomi24

The indigenous Americans are the Native Americans, the rest are immigrants.
and the descendants of immigrants.
// does that mean that because those crimes were committed by indigenous Americans//

blimey I am not aware they have massacred anyone
Been massacred - yes - but that is not important right now ( thx Airplane) xc to them hur hur hur

back to a bit of sanity - did anyone see the Beeb broadcast from Charleston ( sarth carolina) - very interesting and well expressed.
Breath taking views - rep sen SC - "the world is pleased that Trump is taking the lead in world affairs"
erm jesus what was that ?
