Thus far this year, in the 17 short days of the first month of 2015, 70 have been shot. Thirteen of those were fatalities.

I just figured out the real reason that Chicago is called the Windy City: because you are likely to get "blown away" there by a violent thug. This is what you get when you keep electing Democrats!

Al Sharpton is going to get right on this as soon as he’s finished handling his Diversity Emergency.

We need to know the race of everyone involved in order to know if this is newsworthy or racist.

If a black person shoots another, the shooting is to be ignored.

If a black policeman shoots a black criminal suspect, the shooting is to be ignored.

If a white policeman shoots any non black criminal suspect, it is not news worthy.

If a white policeman shoots a black suspect, regardless of circumstances, said policeman is by definition racist, and is by definitin a murderer. In such cases, all policies and procedures regarding police work and our legal system are bypassed, and we go right to the lynch mob to administer justice. That seems to be whee we are headed.

Boy the crime rate would be less if not for Global Warming!! We need to cool the planet to stop thugs getting killed in the warm Chicago winter.

The Windy City name came about in 1885. To get people to vacation in Chicago there was the use of the cool breezes coming off Lake Michigan caused the motto to be changed from city in the gardens to the Windy City. The naming was also attributed to a Cleveland judge in a civil rights decision claimed it was the Windy City. There is also the belief that even though state politics are to take place in Springfield , much more happens in Chicago. There is also the belief that salt tunnels under the City Chicago gave its name too.

But honestly it should be attributed to Obama as he has blowing air up the backsides of Americans since 2007.

because you are likely to get "blown away" there...

A few homicides here and there, the effect on windiness is small. But, scaled up, all that bullet friction with the air is having a combined effect, and added together must be adding significantly to ambient wind.

If black lives really mattered (to Al) he wouldn’t wait until they get shot to do something about it.

Sub zero weather in the Windy City is a real good reason to stifle your murderous tendencies.

The upside to this is that Stroger (County) Hospital is one of the best in the US for the treatment of gun shot wounds. They have lots of practice.
