This reminds me of an Iraqi refugee in America who, after having survived the Ba'ath, IS and all of the other groups in that region, was killed by a black male in a drive-by shooting.

I think there was a post made here not long ago about how certain American cities are statistically more violent than many of those cities who hold the reputation of being among the world's most violent.

And I remember years ago the claim that Detroit was so murderous that American soldiers in Baghdad were statistically less likely to be killed.

It is thus no surprise that a number of amusing terms are used to describe these cities by those who despize them: Shitcago, Chicongo, Detoilet, and San Franshitsco (the latter alluding also to the poop epidemic), as examples.

Surprisingly, Omaha and Milwaukee experienced the highest percentage growth in crime last year, significantly higher than any of the above or other major cities.

When your crime rates are extremely low any slight increase is a major percentage jump.
