783 now. Going to have to be a big week to break the 800 mark for the year.
Somewhat off topic, but the murder rate/shooting rate per capita is likely much higher than prior years. The black.population of Chicago has declined over the past 10 years or so.
I heard that blacks aren’t just moving from Chicago to safer suburban towns, but are leaving Illinois for better economic opportunities in other states.
Then sadly, the black population left behind has a bigger concentration of gang types. And those law abiding citizens left behind are more likely to be victims of violent crime.
I sure wish we didn’t have so many elephants in rooms. The issue of black on black crime,black youth gangs,etc. Is rarely talked about openly.
But on the other hand, the statistically rare black victims of police shootings suck all the oxygen out of the room.
Go baby go! 800 in reach.
This is what a sanctuary city is about.
Rahm has done nothing to quell this violence.He doesn’t want to offend black
felons.
Tom Dart has the worst record as Cook County sheriff in prosecuting
felons.
Go, Chicago! You can do it!
Yeah. What are they doing over there on the South Side? What happened to the Blackstone Rangers, the Disciple? They better get up off their asses, or the whole city will be embarrassed. The rest of you. Aren’t their any jealous husbands or psychos? Don’t let’s fall below quota./s
Looks like they are “shooting” for a record.
They lost too many through attrition last year so it’ll be hard to meet the challenge.
Notice the community organizer didn’t fix the problem when he was there. Didn’t fix it when he was Senator. Didn’t bother going back when he was POTUS. And is staying in DC rather than going home in January. Yeah, real concerned with hometown troubles:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9-1-1 - The 911 emergency call system started in 1968. As late as 1989, at least 28 Chicago suburbs still lacked 9-1-1 service.
