Multiple people shot and killed in a parade near Chicago.

Nobody who wants to be safe from COVID should stop wearing masks, refuse to get vaccinated, or participate in large infoor gatherings. I suppose you agree with that statement. However there are quite a lot of unvaccinated people who have never complied with mask mandates who are not dead. So by your logic, the original statement must be false.

BTW, I do not disagree with you on the safety of cities. There is crime, but crime is everywhere. Most of it in cities is confined to certain areas of the city and to certain pejorative are involved in activities that may not be discussed here. Crime is a rare event (just like dying from COVID). The fact that large numbers of people are not crime victims does not imply safety any more than the fact that large numbers of people ignored public health officials’ advice on COVID survived implied those peoples’ safety.

The fact that the vast majority of people living in cities do so safely does in fact imply that people can live there safely.

Seems to me every.post u make is to try to get someone to get mad and incite actions to cause points.
Pretty easy to see Noone is falling for that.
... Come-about, mates - and let's ALL get back to
the topic at hand - so NOBODY gets more points
or infractions and what-not.

IF people wanna live in citys and townes that might
be dangerous - OR if people wanna live in perhaps
"safer" areas with less reported crime - then we
should make sure people ALL have the right to
protect themselves and loved-ones --- with having
Second Amendment gun laws...

OR, why nobody who wants to live safely should ever be in a liberal shithole city.

Some light reading for those interested.

Residents of urban areas experienced the highest rates of
victimization in 2014. While rates of violent victimization in
urban areas were similar for both men and women (9.4 and
9.3 per 1,000 individuals, respectively), the rate of violent
victimization in suburban areas was about 23% lower for
women than for men. Similarly, in rural areas the rate of
victimization among women was about 32% lower than
among men.
