The dead multiply in Chicago, the fruit of the gang wars ripening in August.
With at least 78 killed so far, August is the deadliest month in nearly 20 years, according to a Tribune analysis. It's all but certain that the city's homicide total will push beyond the 491 dead of last year. August most violent month in Chicago in nearly 20 years August most violent month in Chicago in nearly 20 years
And people in those Chicago neighborhoods that have become killing fields look with dread toward the Labor Day weekend. So do City Hall and the police.
Twenty-five years ago, August 1991 was also an exceptionally bloody month in Chicago, with 122 homicides, the most in the city's modern history, according to police figures.

There mostly BLM types or snowflake SJW’s? - very sad for the innocent victims but this is what happens when the squeaky wheels demand less law enforcement- Thanks Obama!
They’re not There
Complete and utter failure of leadership by the dancing queen.
I’ll take 34 in the Labor Day pool!
I’m beginning to think along the lines of the fact that Obama’s organization of his community was the crime element.
It’s because they’re so oppressed.
As long as it is thug vs. thug. . .I see this as a positive. . .let the police clean up the leftovers.
Criminals and scum killing each other
but um...
BLM ???
As I recall parts of Chicago were owned and operated by the Gangster Disciples 20 years ago. To the point they had GD politicians in office. I doubt that things have changed except to get worse. In a very real sense it is our fault. The phony war on drugs generates too much money to reverse the trend. If we were serious about actually winning this war we would come down hard on the corrupt politicians and police that enable the drug trade instead of harassing users which is all we actually do. Absent real measures to win we should give up and quit fighting it. Let the drugs flow. The price will plummet, the portion of our economy that is black plummets, the users get straight or OD. The dealers kill each other over dwindling market share and in ten years we will have won by not fighting. The corrupt politicians and police who made it all possible will have to turn elsewhere for their plunder.
And the Tribune is has everything it could to hamstring the police and make their job impossible.
Sow, Reap.
Whatever happened to “The Chicago Way”?
“”I’m beginning to think along the lines of the fact that Obama’s organization of his community was the crime element””
of course it was!!- and still is!!- never audited!- spent well over $100 million!!- for what ??— more crime!!
I know,lets let out 100’s (soon to be over a THOUSAND!)
Career DOPE smuggling/ gang members-many CONVICTED of LIFE sentences!- back into the “community”
HA HA- the Joke is on the FEW poor black Christian Americans trying to raise their kids correctly
We are all so screwed
Make it almost impossible for law abiding citizens to get firearms to defend themselves. Of those firearms limit the choice to prevent the citizens from obtaining the most effective ones (the dreaded semiautomaticassaultriflemachinegunsthatcanfire500roundsasecond), and while you're at it limit the amount of ammo they can have too (nobody needs more than 500 100 50 20 2 rounds). Increase taxes and spending. Increase regulations on small businesses. Pass a lot of zoning restrictions on things like the color of your house, the number of vehicles you can have on your property, make smoking illegal, and regulate the height of your lawn. Spend vast sums on pensions for government "workers" and create $400,000 a year sinecure "director of diversity" position for a senator's wife (all at the taxpayers' expense of course) Make sure the police spend most of their time checking things like tax stamps on cigarettes. This has the dual benefit of keeping the police out of harm's way and squeezing more taxes out of the populace
This will create a utopia (or at least the Democrat party version of one) crime will become nonexistent and unicorns and rainbows will pop out all over the city.
There’s still plenty of headroom for a higher count. Under Dinkins, NYC was pushing 2,000/year (yes it’s bigger, but even allowing for that, there’s room for more growth).
There are actually a lot of them, but the media doesn't want you to know that.
Ahhhh Chicago, the city were residents long for the good old days of Al Capone. Less dead, and those killed mostly deserved it.
