If you're going to be killed violently, it's going to be with a bumper not a bullet.

It depends on race, income, sex, etc. Yeah, if you’re white and live in Ward 1, I agree a bumper is more likely to kill you. Not the same odds for others living in other parts of the city, though, who have seen a steady increase in violent crime over the past couple of years.

Not disagreeing there. But a lot of the handwring about the violence is from people who do not fit the profile of likely to be killed by a bullet.

The murder rate is used to bash cities and encourage you and businesses to flee to the suburbs but any safety is often offset by higher car crash deaths
