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

Mid census ##s are hard to find on the fly, but after dropping for several decades, Chicago seems to be gaining population in spite of certain elements efforts to reduce it.

1990 2,783,726. -7.4%
2000 2,896,016. -4.0%
2010 2,695,598. -6.9%
Est. 2015 2,720,546 0.9%

At this rate, a decade or two down the road Chicago will not have a black problem ..<<

Id like to use that same strategy in all muslim countries....Arm both sides and let the sects fight against eachother till they are down to a handfull...then we’ll negotiate...

This reminds me, that scum Jesse Jackson came on the news last night to denounce Trump for saying that Democrats have ruined big cities. I changed the channel before he started talking.

Quote from an ex-Chicago cop who shall remain anonymous:

“In the Big C, ‘gun control’ for a lawful citizen is managing to resist the constant urge to shoot all the big criminals and beat the little criminals to death with whatever firearm you happen to be carrying.”
