I keep thinking they will run out of people to shoot, but not yet.

Being a crime forecaster in Chicago is probably like being a weatherman in LA.

As a side note, does anyone know if Obama still has his house in Hyde Park? Do he and Michelle still play the game of being from Chicago, or having any connection to University of Chicago? Or is that political and financial grift long-over?

18.18% success rate. Better than their average of about 12%.

Those figures should be followed by the number of arrests made in these felonies. Actually there are almost no arrests, trials, convictions or imprisonments. Best described as lawless. Suspect some of the victims were murderers themselves. Revenge is the only form of justice available to the aggrieved.

With the numbers of individuals being killed in Shit-Cago, maybe we should be bussing the illegals there to replenish the lost numbers

Chicago ER must be the worst job on the planet.
Besides dealing with constant gun shots ya gotta deal with the victims themselves,their crazed family and friends and the rivals.
Like a constant nightmare circus..

This doesn’t even include the 3 guys run over and killed by the car. That driver killed 3 and injured 1. A 75% kill rate. Much more effective than guns apparently.

Don’t forget about the 3 mowed down at 5am while in the street brawling.
