The city hasn't seen a deadlier month since October of 1997, when there were 79 homicides. For the whole year, the count was 761, according to department numbers.
Chicago has recorded 487 homicides and more than 2,800 people shot so far this year, compared to 491 homicides and 2,988 people shot all of last year, according to Tribune data.
Chicago has a lower homicide rate than many other U.S. cities that are smaller in population. But this year, the city has recorded more homicides and shooting victims than New York City and Los Angeles combined, even though the two cities are larger than Chicago's population of roughly 2.6 million.

Likely Democrats are an awfully violent species.

What a shame.
Vote more Democrats in. That’ll solve it.

Which begs the question as to why Chi-raq is not mentioned int the top 10 crime/shooting cites.

Hmmm, what was the population of Chicago 20 years ago? Bigger methinks...

Chicago has a lower homicide rate than many other U.S. cities that are smaller in population. Like which ones?

It’s considered racist by the Liberal Progressives to condemn it...

I’m guessing but maybe Baltimore, St. Louis, Detroit?

Chicago has a lower homicide rate than many other U.S. cities that are smaller in population. Can someone tell me the names of those other U.S. cities? This article fails to name them.

Remember, these are gang banger related crimes, but the media uses “gun violence” to define these shootings casting a deep shadow over the majority of law abiding gun owners in America.

Over 90% black on black. At this rate, a decade or two down the road Chicago will not have a black problem ... won't be none left.
Democrats will still rule, as they have since the 1930's, but then it will be a Hispanic/Syrian issue.
