Saw the 60 minutes report on this last night. They were blaming the police for just answering 911 calls, no aggressive preventive enforcement in the black community.
No mention that the increased crime is the result of Chicago getting what it wanted, less police activity.

What Chicago needs is a community organizer.

(sarc)

Al Capone and his mob have, apparently, been reincarnated.

Chicago needs a modern-day Eliot Ness.

Shhh. Those black lives don’t matter because they were killed by other blacks. Just ask these social justice nimrods what they are doing to stop black-on-black violence and they will immediately change the subject to white police officers.

Black leaders take NO responsibility for this crime and that’s part of the problem. It’s like blaming the quarterback for losing when his blockers can’t stop the blitzers and his receivers can’t catch the passes.

I’m confused.

If the total was 762, how is that 1100 more than in the year 2015?

Either way it’s terrible, but maybe they’re accidentally using the “voting dead” numbers.

Black lives Matter, but not if they’re taken by other Blacks. Then they don’t matter.

In fact, they only matter if taken by a white person, especially a cop, acting in self-defense. Then they matter so much that we are entitled to burn down a city and loot all the established businesses nearby.

Ah. “Shooting incidents”, not deaths. Need coffee.

NYC annual murder rates are interesting. In 1969 they went over 1000 and stayed well over that until 1995. In 1990 and 1991 they topped 2000. In 2014 there were 328 which were the lowest since 1928. The 9/11 attacks aren’t usually included in these stats but they were a type of murder of course.

Bubba_Leroy @3: "How about letting all law abiding citizens get concealed carry permits?"

That might help a few, but according to the report, "shootings in those areas generally wasn’t [sic] random, with more than 80 per cent of the victims having previously been identified by police as more susceptible because of their gang ties or past arrests."

It's basically a war going on in Chicago with gangs murdering other gangs. And gangs are part of the culture in Chicago, especially five predominantly-black neighborhoods on the south and west side. That culture was already developed when I lived there in the 60s. It has now become completely malignant under Demonicrat-controlled administration. Even with abortion they still manage to reproduce enough to replenish those gang members killed, and so it continues.

Wait until it becomes a major sanctuary city after 20 Jan 2017 with illegals streaming in for ebt cards, lodging, health care and other goodies.

Then, Trump cuts federal funding.

For all homicides, not just shootings.

I’ve always thought that the poor black man’s worth is lessened by the EBT card. Its quite sad. Can it be fixed?

This welfare crap was started bigtime by LBJ, America's FIRST really criminal President.

LBJ said the ni$$ers could be owned forever by the Demonrat Party if they set up this great society welfare scam. LBJ was a racist scum but the "minorities" were owned by the plantation owners in the DNC. Make the gubermint pay them and they will vote Demonrat forever was LBJ's position.

Trump changed that with his "What do you have to loose" position. Can he stop the welfare state? Can he send the Muslim terrorists and their sometimes silent partners home to the s$ithole they came from?

Trump can but the FIRST Muslim President has made such a mess that he will have to fumigate the gubermint to such an extent that 4 years will just be a start.

The ironic thing is that welfare was started in Germany around the turn of the 19th century and the whole idea was to prevent the poor from joining a revolution. The whole scheme was actually anti revolutionary. In other words welfare was originally anti leftist. I recall reading this first by a poster here on FR and it was an eyeopener to me.
