Rahm Emmanuelis a piece of human excrement and can be blamed for may things, but the killings in the street were there before he got there and will be there afterhe is long gone.
The Streets of Chicago are little different from the streets of Washington DC or Detroit or any other large city with a black ghetto.
Even where I live the police spend 90% of their time in black neighborhoods where crime is most rampant.
It’s the nature of the beast. In Africa they fought and captured each other and sold them off for slaves.Here, when they have nothing and their neighbors have something they go and take it. If the neighbor gets in the way he dies.
No: It isn’t Rahms fault that blacks in every large city have a propensity for violence.Can’t lay that blame on him.
While Chicago, given its demographics, will always be a violent city Emanuel has overseen a significant worsening of the problem.
In 2009, Chicago homiccides were down almost 11%. They were down 6% in 2010. They were down 1% in 2011 - Emanuel took office almost halfway through that year - but the rate was lower in the first non-Emanuel half of the year.
In his first full year in office, the hopmicide rate is up 19%.
He's had 17% more murders in his first year and a half in office than his predecessor had in his final 18 months.
There is policy involved, not just randomness.
