    Umm… in what country is it people get kidnapped and ransomed every day? I mean, I’m not saying it’s not a thing, it does happen, but it’s actually pretty rare in most of North America. I mean, it’s pretty common in Mexico, but in most of the continent the most common kidnapping is a biological relative abducting a child.

        I bet you haven’t been to a “big city” more than once in the last 5 years. People are not regularly getting kidnapped off the streets of Chicago, and if you think they are you might want to look into where you’re getting your information from.

        The only people abducting people and holding them for ransom in Chicago and Seattle are ICE agents.
