Iraq vs Chi-raq: Which is more dangerous? (srs) (ded srs)

I've only been to Iraq, but word on the streets (or forums?) is that Chi-raq is legit more dangerous.

Is there any credibility to the comparison that's been floating around since the mid 2000s, probably mainly thanks to hip hop?

Where are my Chi town streets experience having miscers at? Aware me.

In Iraq you'll get blown up en masse

In Chiraq you'll get mugged for $10 and then stabbed to death

you choose, OP

That comparison is stupid. Chicago isn't nearly as bad as they claim it is.

Lived in Chicago for a long time, never saw a gun, heard a shot, or had any violence against me happen. Im white and not a big guy.

So Im gonna say Iraq is worse.


But I was in downtown Pittsburgh for 2 nights and saw a gangfight in the street from my hotel window.

because if you're white ISIS or whatever terrorist group will tie you up and torture you until they finally make a video of your head being cut off with a dull knife. Would much rather get killed by some 12 year old thug who ends up getting raped in jail

nonsense

that's if you're a white journalist or govt official or something and in a very compromised area

regular white guy is probably safer in Baghdad than south side chicago

watch videos of 'detroit at night' and you tell me if this is an area you would like to walk in.

hint: been in iraq. iraq is 1000x safer at night than those hood at night videos.

chicago isn't unsafe unless you live in very specific neighborhoods. even then if you mind your business you are probably fine.

Those saying Chicago isn’t bad have only been to nice parts of down town or suburbs. South side Chicago is so bad I know half a dozen grown black men who won’t go near it. I worked in Gary Indiana for years and it is a ****hole, but nothing like Chicago. Honestly I don’t even like going to downtown or navy pier anymore, trash everywhere walking around with no shirt and pants off their ass, just looking for trouble.

iraq is not that dangerous. well to the locals. i have like 6 refugee buddies from iraq who say its actually not that bad. more chance of getting killed in america than iraq lmao. the problem is just the religious extremists who twist the quran.
