No I am not. Ive seen a city get cleaned up before. Participated in it. This can be done if there is a will to do it, and it's not that complicated. It's hard work, but doable.

Do you think they use "Another One Bites the Dust" as dumper music on the nightly news murder report in Chicago?

Perhaps the left's war on police is specifically designed to prevent that from ever happening again. :dunno:

Well, they certainly don't want to see someone else's strategy work, even though it already did. Kinda undercuts what they preach.

Why do Black Americans believe it is socially acceptable for Blacks to kill Blacks?

 

I don't think that they do, but they simply feel that the police are a bigger problem in their life. Stupid....yes, but that is still how they feel.

Sounds cynical, but it's me...

 

Truth is, if you mapped out the shootings, they're very much largely confined to a few square block area. Honestly, at this point, Chicago already has tough gun laws, their have been all kinds of efforts in the past, I think most of the 'power money' is thinking a lot like me - just sick of it. - "Fine, kill yourselves, we'll just contain the blast radius and let the animals run the zoo."

 

It's not like these thugs are going to swing an election anytime soon.

 

And yeah, as has been pointed out - where the fock is BLM in all this?

blm only when white people or cops are killing blacks. Otherwise it's a Tuesday in Chicago

1,000 more people shot in Chicago compared with same time last year

 

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-weekend-shootings-chicago-20161017-story.html

 

A thousand more people have been shot in Chicago this year compared with the same time last year after a weekend that saw eight people killed and at least 40 wounded, according to police and data compiled by the Tribune.

 

At least 3,475 people had been shot in the city as of shortly after midnight Monday compared with 2,441 people shot this time last year, an increase of 1,034, according to Tribune data. There have been at least 595 homicides this year compared with 409 this time last year, an increase of 186.

 

The gun violence over the weekend was at levels usually seen in the summer when shootings typically spike.

 

A single attack Friday night in East Garfield Park killed one man and left six others wounded, according to police. The people were standing together in the 3300 block of West Maypole Street when someone opened fire from a black vehicle, police said.

 

An attack of that scale has not occurred in Chicago since 2014, when seven people -- including several young teens -- were shot in Lawndale.

 

The Maypole shooting capped off an exceptionally deadly night on the West Side. Less than a half-hour before, two men were fatally shot in a South Austin drive-by, police said. About an hour before that, an 18-year-old man was killed in West Garfield Park

 

But shootings occurred in nearly every corner of Chicago over the weekend, from a fatal attack in West Rogers Park to a shooting in Morgan Park near the southern border.

 

A man was shot Sunday afternoon near the 95th Street Red Line CTA station, where he ran after being hit in the shoulder.

 

Overall, six people were killed and 14 were wounded from Friday afternoon to Saturday morning; from Saturday morning to Sunday morning, one person was killed and 17 were wounded; and from Sunday to just past midnight Monday, one person was killed and at least nine others were wounded.

 

In addition, a man was shot by police officers responding to a robbery at a gas station in West Humboldt Park on Sunday night, police said. He was shot in the leg and taken to Stroger Hospital in serious condition.

Chicago continues to set records!! Congrats!!

Chicago Surpasses 600 Homicides This Year

 

CHICAGO (CBS) — Vernadette Taylor moved to West Englewood’s 6700 block of South Winchester more than 30 years ago with her husband, son and daughter.

 

In the last year and a half, three shootings on her block have left one man dead and 10 others hurt.

 

The 28-year-old man killed on her block Monday night helped push Chicago past a miserable milestone as he was one of more than 600 homicides the city has seen so far this year — a 24 percent uptick compared to the same time last year, not to mention about 100 killings more than the homicide totals in New York and Los Angeles combined this year.

 

Nonfatal shootings also are way up citywide. As of last week, more than 2,100 people had been wounded this year and survived, compared with about 1,400 people shot in the same time period in 2015, the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting.

 

“It wasn’t always like this,” Taylor said Tuesday. “Within the last two or three years it’s gotten to be almost like you’re in the middle of a war zone.”

 

Taylor had just parked her car in her garage Monday night when gunfire erupted outside.

 

A man was killed and a 13-year-old boy was one of four wounded in a shooting about 8:50 p.m., police said.

 

Police said the five were standing in a front yard when another group walked up and opened fire before running off.

 

Timothy Agnew, 28, was shot in the head and pronounced dead at the scene at 9:18 p.m., according to police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office. He lived in the 8100 block of South Maryland.

 

Sources said the shooting involved rival factions of the Gangster Disciples and New Breeds, both of which claim territory in the 6700 block of South Winchester.

 

Taylor couldn’t tell where the shots were coming from. “There were too many to count,” she said.

 

Monday’s shooting was just part of a bloody night on the South Side.

 

About two hours later, Ronald McBee, 24, was shot to death in the 7300 block of South Morgan, authorities said.

 

McBee was the 600th homicide recorded in Chicago in 2016, and another killing Tuesday morning in West Pullman brought the homicide count to 601, according to a Chicago Sun-Times analysis of data kept by the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

 

Last year, 486 homicides were recorded citywide.

 

The overwhelming majority of homicide victims this year — 540 people — have died of gunshot wounds, according to the medical examiner’s office. Another 28 have been stabbed to death.

 

There also have been 19 people beaten to death, nine arson-related homicides, three child-abuse killings and two people killed when after they were willfully run down by people driving cars.

 

The Chicago Police Department investigates most — but not all — of the homicide cases; expressway shootings are handled by the Illinois State Police. Also, the medical examiner’s total includes seven people who were shot or attacked in previous years but who died in 2016.

 

As a result, the police department’s homicide total this year is slightly lower than 601.

 

Chicago Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said that as of Tuesday morning the department had recorded 571 first-degree murders this year. First-degree murder is defined by the FBI as: “the willful (non-negligent) killing of one human being by another.”

 

“The classification of this offense is based solely on police investigation as opposed to the determination of a court, medical examiner, coroner, jury, or other judicial body,” according to the FBI.

 

As of mid-October, Chicago police had made arrests in 115 homicide cases this year.

 

In a statement Tuesday, Chicago Police Supt. Eddie Johnson put much of the blame for the city’s increase in gun violence on “repeat gun offenders.”

 

“While we have increased our enforcement efforts this month — including arrests for murder and illegal gun confiscations — the lack of accountability for repeat gun offenders is sickening and it continues to drive the cycle of violence in Chicago,” Johnson said.

 

“We are investing in a strategy centered around adding more expanding the size of the department, building a partnership with residents and working with legislators to ensure our sentencing laws help keep repeat gun offenders in jail where they belong,” Johnson added.

 

Tuesday afternoon, a group of about 10 men were standing outside the house in the 6700 block of South Winchester where the shooting occurred the night before. They declined to comment.

 

On Aug. 2 last year, four men between the ages of 19 and 25 were shot as they stood on the same block. All survived.

 

Six days later, 12-year-old and 15-year-old boys were wounded in another shooting on the block. The block saw another shooting in November 2012, but prior to that, no one had been shot on the block since May 2001, according to city records.

 

According to Taylor, the shootings have not been limited to people.

 

Earlier this year, Taylor said, a neighbor’s pit bull was shot to death right outside her home in the middle of the day. She found the dog lying at the bottom of her front steps.

 

Taylor said she was surprised, not just at the act of killing the animal, but when it happened.

 

“Broad daylight, in the middle of the afternoon,” she said.

 

Asked if the violence has ever made her consider moving away, Taylor said she’s considered it in the past, though her fixed income is a barrier.

 

“You make the best of what you got,” she said.

We cannot legislate morality or good behavior, that is incumbent upon the individual. And apparently there is little fear of the judicial system, particularly given the recent climate where foolish people want to pretend the laws and those who enforce them are somehow a "problem".

Aggressive policing and stiff sentencing has always done the trick. But we know what that means. Better to have hundreds killed and the rest of the people live in fear. WGAF. Let them self police.

1974 had the most murders of any year in Chicago at 970. With the current rate of violence they will hit 800 murders by year end. if the murder rate holds steady of the 800 people killed 752 of them will be black or latino.

According to Wikipedia there were 8275 murders in the 70's and 8240 in the 90's. So the 70's were the bloodiest marginally, and they averaged over 800 a year for those decades.

 

Chicago had at least 600 murders every year from 1969-2003. This is the first time since 2003 they have hit 600 though, and they are on pace to well surpass that, so there is definitely a pretty big spike occurring.

There is a HUGE spike in 2016 based on the numbers in 2015. It is up something like 70% year on year.
