Jeff Sessions Rod Rosenstein what the f**k send in the damn troops. Marshal Law the place is a killing field.
I’d love to see young Mr. Hogg walking those streets pleading for people to turn in their mean, nasty guns and stick it to the NRA...
Murders in New York City in 2017 = 290
Can't find murder stats for NYC for this year.Also,NYC has almost 3 times the population of Chicago.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the death toll in Chicago was worse on a per capita or even raw numbers basis than a regular Israeli city .
NYC crime continues to plummet in 2018
But Chicago cooks its crime stats. I'll bet NYC does, too.
Just so long as it was not with an AR, it’s all good.
Don’t even have to look past the headline anymore to know in which city the killings happened. Only thing close to a solution to be suggested will be more elected Democrats and leftism.
If these numbers continue, you may qualify for Urban Renewal Funds.
Bang! Bang! Baby!
I didn’t say it was a good solution but it’s all were going to get, as always.
Chicago....a wonderful place to sell ammo.!
I live in the Chicagoland area -- I know of what I speak here.

Sounds to me like the ones with bad aim are being culled out, the ratios are coming down.
Well the NFL season is over and the baseball season hasn’t started yet. Anyone interested in the world of STATISTICS can find satisfaction by checking out the CHICAGO “box scores” on each Monday.
One of these days, someone will start a gambling scenario where you spend a dollar and write down your “guess” on next weekends score card...so many killed and so many wounded.
Could be rather profitable for a willing vulture.
But but but.....I thought Chicago had strict gun control laws. Surely that solved the problem and it’s a shangri-la today.
Those guns are in the hands of Democratic voters those are good guns, it would be nice though to see those brats try and disarm all those Democratic voters
Reading thru the article, most of the victims were sitting in or driving a vehicle. I reckon it’s about time we start protesting in front of the headquarters of GM, Ford, Chrysler, Nissan, etc. They aren’t making their vehicles bulletproof!
Check Chicago’s, and environs, demographics.......................
Also,NYC has almost 3 times the population of Chicago.
****************
When you see the numbers by % of Population, the large cities
like NYC aren’t at the top. In 2016 St Louis, MO led with 60
per 100,000 population.
