Failing to enforce laws causes the behavior to increase.

Good point, with which I'll go a bit off the initial topic.

As the Dems become more and more lawless and corrupt, the corruption and mobocracy increase (at a faster and faster pace); and,

Only the most ruthless and corrupt Dems will succeed in the Dem party.

The local culture where this is happening has accepted this as normal. They are the cultural of recreational homicide and will not cooperate with Law Enforcement so that it can be stopped. That is on the locals.

On the Cops, it is their job, their primary job, to figure out a way to stop the shootings and the killings. They have totally failed to do their primary job.

Both the leadership of the cops, and the leadership of the culture, those voted in to represent them and govern them are decades long democrats.

This human wreck lands in totally in the democrats laps. This is a product of their governance, their policies, and their liberalism. Period.

They have some of the strictest gun control in our nation and should have figured out by now that controlling guns is not the answer. Controlling the criminals who are doing the shooting and killing is the answer.

No matter what side of the political fence you are on if you are honest you will have to admit that the democrats have completely and totally failed in Chiraq to provide a safe place for their citizens to live.

Week after week, there are less than 10% of the shootings or gun fatalities involving Americans in Afghanistan and Iraq, as there are in Chicago.

Don’t you think it is about time the democrats took responsibility for the bloodshed and death that they have created and refuse to stop?

They’re still looking for some white person to balance out the black person they caught.

Just start spreading the rumor that some of these gangbangers have information about Trump’s charities and Rahm will have them off the streets in a week.

Not much point in charging someone if you can’t convict. JMHO

If the police go into these war zones, the left says they are racist for oprewsing blacks esp. if they make any arrests or defend themselves from violent attack.

If the police don’t go into these war zones, the left says they are racist for failing to protect blacks.

So it is a no win situation for the police.

On top of that, the BLM mantra of “kill the pigs” means going into these war zones can get an officer killed.

Gee, wonder why they aren’t going there?

Shitago is finished as far as I’m concerned. A hopeless case. Prime example of mentally diseased liberals run amuck.

I really feel sorry for FReepers who still live in this hell hole. May God richly bless you.

They should pay a bounty on shooting a gang member not stick them with a fine.

“Shitago is finished as far as I’m concerned. A hopeless case. Prime example of mentally diseased liberals run amuck.”

$hitago, as you rightly call it is just the “tip of the Big, RAT-run $hities iceberg!”

There’s $hitroit, $hit Louis, Balti$hitmore, $hitington DC, New York Shitty, the list is endless! And if you take a look around, you will find that day after day, the states that are still able to muster up Blue Majorities, have one foot on a banana peel and the other in their big RAT-run major $hities too.
The other day, Fox ran a bit about the States with the least amount of personal freedom ( NY, CA, NJ...), and the one’s that still have a great amount of personal freedom. Nevada was one of those states. Yeah, right, but not for long. Nevada has just under 4 million residents, 2.5 million of whom live in Las Vegas (Clark County). Just how much longer do you think it’s going to take for Clark County to grow enough bigger so it absolutely controls the State? Outside of Shitago ( Cook County), Illinois is majority Republican. In the 2014 Gubernatorial Election Rauner (R) won by 200,000 votes. ALL the other counties in Illinois voted (R) 1.8 million votes for Rauner and 1.6 million votes for the RAT opponent. The big RAT-run cities are going to ultimately prevail unless we figure out a way to limit their ability to control the country. And for you holier than thou Texans, you are facing the same situation, plus you have Mexican RAT-run counties along the border with Mexico two deep today. Can’t wait to see what the a$$holes in Austin change it’s name to! Che Guevaraville? The reason that states like Montana and Wyoming are Republican is that they don’t (yet) have any really big cities.

And down South there’s $hit Diego, $hitabarbara and Cagadaville* (AKA Los Angeles).

“Thanks for the info. Good points.”

The big RAT-run cities are the crux of our country’s electoral problems. The people there want the rest of us to take care of the from cradle to grave, while they stay home and procreate.

Chicago Killings Cost $2.5 Billion as Homicides Dwarf N.Y.C.’s

Thursday, 23 May 2013 06:18 AM

When Gregory Glinsey was fatally shot while buying ice for his mother’s 80th birthday party, the emotional toll on his family was incalculable. The immediate price to the public was $800 for his autopsy.

His slaying and 505 others in Chicago last year scarred it with a rising homicide rate as most cities saw declines. Another 2,000 non-fatal shootings in Chicago added costs measured in shuttered businesses, lost wages, disability checks and depopulation. In Glinsey’s case, the price of his random killing mounted before his mother knew her 54-year-old son wouldn’t return from a convenience store in the South Shore neighborhood.

More than three dozen police swarmed the scene of the Feb. 19, 2012 shooting, which also killed a 19-year-old and injured five other teenagers. After $1,000 ambulance rides to hospitals for each survivor, the combined trauma-care bill would, on average, top $250,000. Gunfire outside Budget Food & Liquors cost its owner a tenant and $1,000 in monthly rent: A tax preparer next door bolted after a bullet from another shooting ripped past a secretary’s head.

“Violence hurts the economy, and sooner or later it permeates everything,” said Teyonda Wertz, head of South Shore’s chamber of commerce. “Unless we change our crime situation, it’ll kill us.”

All told, shootings cost Chicago $2.5 billion a year, or about $2,500 per household, according to Jens Ludwig, director of the University of Chicago Crime Lab. Many of those costs are intangibles, Ludwig said, like keeping people from going outside or letting their children walk to school. Reducing even a fraction of the carnage, though, would free up more money than the city expects to save each year from the closing of 49 elementary schools approved yesterday by the school board.
