I love how the focus of the story is on the 1300 violent gang members they KNOW are causing issues yet the headline decries “Gun violence”.

They should re-ban guns in Chicago. I’m sure this rash of gun violence has something to do with all the citizens that are now getting gun permits.

(Sarc)

“Johnson saved his harshest criticism for a criminal justice system that he said isn’t putting away the city’s most dangerous offenders for long enough periods.”

I am quite pleased he didn’t come out blaming guns.

And if the power goes out during the hot summer heat, run for your lives.

This is no joke. The violence goes up when it gets hot in the summer. If the lights go out?

Sarcasm If it was only way there was some thing if someone who could help with the help of getting guns away from the criminals. Who would it be? How about a task group of get the guns off the streets. How about the ATF. But who could help with the local help. I remember when Miami help with the drug crimes and guns. I think President Bush main it a priority. If only if someone in power could help Chicago?

It's a joke that the media doesn't ask if Obama can help. Isn't me from Chicago.

drug-thugs and gang-bangers can’t get range time...
of course, in the suburbs since there ain’t no “real” range in the City.

That OK with us outstaters. But iffin y’all be shootin the auto sideways and cain’t point the thing at a specific target?

I have a much better chance of smacking you with my SW40

Send him a box of sand, so he can draw a line. You know, like Odumbo does.

If the lights go out, it is every-looter for himself. Even the looters will mangle each-other for the “free-shit” they have in hand.

I’ve seen it first-hand in Detroit.
1967 and 1968...those long, hot summers.

That Jack-ass-o-meter is an amazing piece of work. The sheer amount of effort to build that site and keep it updated daily must be huge. Beautiful visual display of data.

about 1,300 individuals on the Police Department's "strategic subject list" — those believed to be most prone to violence as a victim or offender.

Now that Obama knows about the list, he'll probably require the police to purge it because it probably has a lot more blacks on it than whites.

“completely unacceptable”

This is turning into a completely useless and meaningless phrase trotted out by everyone in front of a microphone. We’re to take them seriously simply because they say it? We’re to think they have solutions because they said the magic words?

How about we see someone stand up and say that about the “restroom” issue???? Separate facilities for men and women have existed in this country since the beginning of time and it is NOT GOING TO CHANGE no matter what any kooks have to say about it. Well, privys weren’t gender specific but then that was a different time...

That site is great, but I wish it had a ‘mirror site’ with a different name so it can be linked easier in site comment threads that kicks out that word.
