Still, Chicago is on pace this year for the most homicides since at least 1998, when the police department said there were 704 homicides.
The number of people shot is also the most in decades: At least 4,170 people so far this year. With less than three weeks left in the year, that marks a 40 percent increase over the total number of shootings in 2015, according to Tribune data.

Yes, Virginia, gang bangers freeze their ***es off too so that they stay inside on cold days.
Cold weather is known for slowing down or stopping parasite activity, such as mosquitos and ticks.
Its nice to know that the same is true of humans that ARE parasites.
...hard to run in snowshoes
3 dead, 12 wounded for those who keep up on the box scores.
...with pants at your knees, too. What a great image.
“Snowstorm In Chicago Delays Hundreds Of Morning Murders”
CHICAGO—The city of Chicago is steadily recovering from an overnight snowstorm that delayed hundreds of murders on Friday morning and will likely continue to push numerous homicides across the city drastically behind schedule, public authorities announced.
“As we speak, maintenance crews are working diligently to restore public transportation, de-ice roads, and clear back alleyways so that Chicagoans can quickly resume murdering again,” Department of Streets and Sanitation spokesman Dave Michelson said of the heavy blizzard, which caused numerous homicide cancellations this morning at peak murder times.
“Unfortunately, we’re backed up by about 35 deadly shootings at the moment, but we hope to restore regular death tolls as soon as possible. We apologize to anyone forced to postpone shootings or other killings today and assure concerned murderers that they will be able to resume slayings by the early afternoon.”
At press time, authorities reported that murders were up and running in many parts of the city, with four teenagers already gunned down on Chicago’s South Side.

More homicides than Afghanistan, BOR said last night.
If there ever was a case against zero, Chicago; the town in the state that brought him to power; ironically: a constant reminder of what could / should have been.
Opportunity cost, zero; can cost your legacy.
You may be right!! It would seem that the ONLY thing holding down the shootings and killings of Black people in Chicago, and maybe other cities, is the coming of bitter cold weather and possibly dangerous snowy conditions.
Inclement weather is doing the job the Democrat administration of Chicago won’t/can’t do.
2 or 3 feet of snow in chicago would be an act of mercy.
Is there a fantasy league for this?
Haven’t heard anything about those protestors so concerned about DT becoming POTUS either. I knew it would die down as soon as it got cold enough. Must all be staying warm in mom’s basement.
CHICAGO HAS A MAYOR NAMED EMANUEL
I tell you man WHERE VIOLENCE IS ANNUAL
Well here’s another place you SHOULDN’T be
CHICAGO AIN’T PRET-TY.
Fixing a hole in the OZONE
Trying to make CHICAGO LIVEABLE.
Looking through THIS MADE UP onion.
(with all due apologies to the Beatles). :-)
So you’re saying that all we have to do to stop the killing is to get Chicago run over by a glacier?
Maybe my eyes failed but was weather mentioned in the article or only by the headline writer? I got a script error at one point. And yes I spoofed the Beatles’ “Glass Onion” as a reply to an article in the Onion.
I remember a night a few years back in which we had a pretty good snowfall and temperatures were around 2 degrees. The snow stopped about 8:00 p.m. and I went out to shovel. Not a car passed, not another soul came out, the whole time I was out there.
I heard the next day that there had been no reported shootings that night. I thought there would be at least some indoor shootings, but maybe they were hindered because the potential shooter would have to go outside in order to escape.
Bring back the ice ages. During the last ice age, Chicago was buried under a mile of ice. That will keep the youth gangs off the streets.
Chicago has wonderful architecture and some of the nation’s top restaurants. Can be an entertaining destination to visit especially in the summertime but the vile souls continue to denigrate themselves.
“Imma KILL that motherf#cker. Soon as it warms up.”
It looks like the murders are not going to catch up with the 767 RBIs the Cubbies had this year.
LOL.
