"We need to be thanking the Lord that even a bad situation is not worse..."
That isn't what you said, and thus isn't the post to which I answered you. You said:
"Even the worst American city doesn’t make the list.
"Sometimes we don’t know our blessings."
In the post quoted above, you are counting as a blessing that even the worst American city doesn't make this list.
But as I and others have pointed out, that's false. There are American cities that have murder rates of the magnitude of the cities on this list, and even American cities that should be on this list, because their high murder rate has exceeded that of some of the cities on this list.
If you now wish to thank God that things aren't worse, that's more in line with reality.
It doesn't strike me as a particularly worthwhile way to interact with God to thank Him for things that aren't actually true.

Guess what, a blessing always means a blessing.
And it does not come from Cthulhu or whoever.
You are the one who comes out on the wrong end of your quibble.
