You forgot highest crime. Most murderers. Sure, they like to point at Chicago, but the top cities are in red states.

Here's the top 20 rated cities for homicide. List is less simple because they take into account other factors, but Chicago is #27 (rated #13 based on solely homicide rates)

Isn't Washington, DC our country's capital or something? Is it #1 on the list because it has a higher rate than other places or because there is a smaller population living there, and its popularity attracts a broad variety of people who dont normally live there? Like why is usa's main capitol the #1 in the list?

The kicker is these are mostly predominantly black cities run by Democrats. Especially DC.
