As the first quarter of 2016 nears an end, violence in Chicago has reached levels unseen in years, putting the city on course to top 500 homicides for only the second time since 2008.
As of 6 a.m. Wednesday, homicides totaled 135, a 71 percent jump over the 79 killings in the same year-earlier period, official Police Department statistics show. That represented the worst first quarter of a year since 136 homicides in 1999, according to the data.
Shootings have jumped by comparable numbers as well. As of Wednesday, at least 727 people had been shot in Chicago so far this year, a 73 percent rise from 422 a year earlier, according to a Tribune analysis of department data.

Response: Nonsense!
Comment: See Chicago, Baltimore, etc. etc.
And of course no protests over this, only protests when Trump gives a speech.
So at least there's no hateful discrimination happening.
At least they have ‘room to vent’.
That’s right; leftist priorities.
While killings are a shame, they are the most public demonstrations of the failure of the welfare state and assimilation.
The number of wounded vs killed is always tremendously lopsided. If they ever learned to shoot, they could really boost that number.....
Great job by Mayor Rhambo, right?
Maybe after Caliph Baraq retires from the Presidency, he can stop back to Chitown occasionally and offer some advice too.
He still owns the place that Tony Rezko got him the screaming deal on....
Clearly the fault of Republicans and the only possible solution is stricter gun control.
Even Obama doesn’t want to move his family back there.

Helping the Democrats to reduce the surplus population!
Yet they will blame the NRA for this. Only in the marmalade skies and marshmallow clouds of the liberal worldview does doing something like that make sense.
City folk are disadvantaged shooters.No range time, not selecting the proper weapon for the job,etc.
We folks out in the country don’t have these problems.The differences in ability will become apparent when the orcs finally decide to loot in rural areas.
You all ain't seen nothing yet.
welllllllll, the Cubs suck so they’ve got to win at something.
Global Change is causing it, that will be the next reason they blame it on.
500 homicides this year?
What is the population of Chicargostan now?
3 million? That’s only about what? 6 per hundred thousand.
No problemo. They got it handled
Well, any team can have a bad 107 years, lol.
Those black lives don’t matter.
