Cook,
Your comparing a city to an entire state. That's a fallacy within itself. 80 people or more could of been shot throughout the state itself but we wouldn't know it. That's comparing an incident in Lake Michigan to the Atlantic Ocean. You have a concentrated space fill with many people with a long history of violence that gets media publicity since its a mega city. Seriously can't compare that to an entire state.
chicago has over 3 million people
about half of the 3 million are white, with no murders in their neighborhood
murder rates are misleading.......body counts aren't
