Chicago Tribune ^ | February 22, 2016 | Alexandra Chachkevitch and Megan Crepeau

Four homicides over the weekend and two more Monday morning pushed Chicago's homicide count so far this year to double the same period last year.

The city has recorded at least 95 homicides since the first of the year, compared to 47 last year, according to data kept by the Tribune. The city has also more than doubled the amount of people shot - about 420 this year compared to 193 last year.

Make the cops unwilling to police black neighborhoods. What could possibly go wrong?

More range time?

Maybe they’re not holding the gun sideways anymore?

Just wait till Obama openly “converts” to Islam and gets much of his hometown and others to follow.

Obama is never moving back to Chicago. He is moving to a multi-million dollar estate in Hawaii.

Math quiz:

If the homicide rate in Chicago doubles every year how long will it take for Chicago’s population to be eliminated?

‘Ferguson Effect’

While it might seem that media attention benefits affected communities, its long-term effect is lethal. Literally. Political scientist Ernest Evans had been tracking the “Ferguson Effect” long before anyone heard of Ferguson, Mo. Ferguson simply raised awareness - and raised the stakes in the process. The “effect” is as old as the media’s embrace of the civil rights movement, and its patterns are very nearly universal. A white police officer, whether justifiably or not, is accused of using excess force against an African American. If the “victim” is young and unarmed - and if the cop is insufficiently punished - all the better for those who profit from disorder, the media most notably. Although the media attention may seem to benefit the affected community, its long-term effect Next »

This is impossible. Chicago has draconian gun control. Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Chicago was safe.

Yeah, and if you believe this crap, you probably believe the moon is made of cheese, you think there’s a tooth fairy, and I'm from the government and I'm here to help you.

"If the homicide rate in Chicago doubles every year how long will it take for Chicago’s population to be eliminated?"

First the murder rate would have to catch up to the abortion rate and then the birth rate before it could make any headway.

This was posted on the Trib site and fits nicely with the ‘Ferguson Effect’.

From W. B. Yeats, The Second Coming:

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Plus he has disassociated himself with the total failure of his former staffer and current, embattled mayor there.
