8. My son recently made a business trip to Chicago.

He did not see any evidence of a crime ridden hellhole. In fact he thought the city was great. His group took a group photo in front of the bean. Went to a White Sox game, went out for deep dish pizza, etc. Very cool. My other son went to San Francisco on a work trip last month, and he walked around the city all alone and never felt threatened, in fact he greatly enjoyed all the Asian food, vintage shops, markets, etc.

Only right wingers feel unsafe when they are out of their fear bubble because they can’t handle seeing people of other races. Sure most major cities have problems, but not to the extent they holler about on Fox “News”.
