So in what seems to be a run of 'issues' in America, the mayor of Chicago is so concerned about the crime rate in his city that he is asking why he can't have the National guard, who have been fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan and effectively restoring law and order there, come and help out his police force in their home state. Good question.
And in an issue that spans country borders, in America a man who was wounded defending a woman from an assailant dies from his wounds as passers by ignore - or worse - watch him.

While in Canada a man is stabbed and nobody helps him.

Some things are apparently the same no matter where you are, says me, who lives right in the sector of the city where last week three men in a car assaulted and robbed a pedestrian at knife point, and then assaulted and robbed, or attempted to rob more pedestrians including 10 and 12 year old children. Fortunately no-one was hurt and police apprehended three suspects in a car that was found to contain a knife. Still, the world definitely isn't becoming a better place to live right now.
