Chicago murders still outpacing New York and L.A. combined

Chicago was pushed into an unwanted spotlight earlier this year when it was noted the city has recorded more murders than New York City and Los Angeles combined.

As the year winds down, that’s still holding true.

The city surpassed 700 homicides over the weekend, according to a Chicago Sun-Times analysis of Cook County medical examiner’s records. That number includes 10 cases in which victims died this year but were injured in previous years.

The Chicago Police Department tallied 654 murders as of Nov. 13. The department’s total omits “non-criminal” deaths that the medical examiner classifies as homicides, as well as expressway murders handled by the Illinois State Police.

Even by the Chicago Police Department’s tally, Chicago has seen the most first-degree murders in a single year since 2002, records show. And the city is far outpacing L.A. and New York combined.

As of Nov. 13, New York City had seen 295 murders so far this year, according to the NYPD.

Maybe instead of hanging around Washington DC, next year Obama could go to Chicago and clean up some of the mess he left.

What we need is more dramatic statements from Mayor Rahm Emmanuel proclaiming “sanctuary city.” That will reduce all the crime!

[eyeamok]

How does this even happen?? I thought Chicago was a GUN FREE ZONE!

Chicago’s murder rate, rape rate, armed robbery rate, home invasion rate and assualt rates will go up even higher next year.

Next year or even earlier, when the illegals come to really believe Trump will deport them, they will go home or and flood these elite sanctuary cities. Those, who go back to Mexico early, will have the best choices of housing and jobs. Those who wait will have no good choices in Mexico. So they will run to the elite sanctuary cities.

Let them flood these elite sanctuary cities. Let the elites feed/house and deal with their crimes.

On Trump’s first day in office stop every federal tax $ from going to these elite sanctuary cities.

Then, Trump’s new AG will enforce E Verification in every state/city in America. Any employer with illegals will face big fines and possible jail sentences.

Then, stand back and watch the elite rats get eaten up the less elite rats in their city and by the hordes of illegals in their cities fighting over a dwindling supply of housing, food and services.

Later next year, in a few weeks/months, those mayors if still in office or alive, will be meeting with Trump’s people behind closed doors to work out massive deportation of their former voting buddies, the illegals. They will have identified their illegals and be willing to pay for their transportation to Mexico.

Now that the grandson of a black Congressman has joined the statistics maybe people will pay attention......

Chicago..ahh...the shimmering glimmer of gun control on display for all the world to see.

[Gay State Conservative]

I saw something recently that was kinda funny...something like: “Chicago:Come For The Restaurants,Stay Because You Were Murdered”

[Lee25]

A long time Chicagoan here. Iet me share some secret here. We Chicagoans do not care about these homcides at all. It does not spread. They happens in specific neighborhoods. Personally I would prefer deaths to wounded. That way saves tax payers more

“Maybe instead of hanging around Washington DC, next year Obama could go to Chicago and clean up some of the mess he left.”.......

The way things are going, his name might just be added to the list. He has created this division, go back eight or nine years ago and compare the numbers, you will see a dramatic difference.

[bert]

Maybe he could go to Chitown and get shot

[DaveA37]

“.....Let the elites feed/house and deal with their crimes.”.....

The elites will blame all the rest of us and then do absolutely nothing but send them to other places for the rest of us to handle the problems the elites deny exist.

If there was more honesty and pragmatism in America, the left would be stating he had done a miserable job helping blacks, and how he was now moving to Palm Springs.

Virtually all the crime in a city like Chicago is due to a small percentage of the population, the gangs, just as a police officer was recently cited as claiming; however, because the gangs and a friendly to their continued existence sub-culture either controls or alternately terrorizes the rest of the black community I’m pessimistic enough to opine that there will be no peace until the black community itself turns against them: violently and without mercy.

It’s more than just that rioters and looters need to be shot by those whose lives and property they threaten, more than just being willing to break with any code against snitching ... frankly: unless a black community raise a militia against those active in the gangs, every last one no matter whose darling baby they once were, there will be no peace.

If black persons did that there would be peace on those streets pretty much the next day and likely for many years thereafter as future criminals would go elsewhere, to less risky haunts, to find victims.

No one else can end the living hell that these human super predators have brought on these communities so that they are caught in the crossfire and their own posterity either consumed by the gangs directly or poisoned by them through the drugs that they peddle.

If that sounds harsh, it is, but by now there may be no other way.

It would be better if they turned on the gangs via law enforcement; however, even a code of reveal all (vs don’t snitch) still wouldn’t deal with the underlying issue that the gangs do not fear their victims and would likely stain the streets red with innocent blood while they were being taken in or taken out a few at a time by law enforcement.

I doubt it.

I think they’re a lot more likely to wade through the young man’s blood to demand more “gun control” laws...

Based on the election-results data on the CNN website, take away the Cook County vote, and Trump would have carried Illinois by some 230,000 votes. In fact, 48% of the votes Clinton received in Illinois came from Cook County only.

It goes to show you how badly the Democrats have to rely on big cities in order to win a state.

When I remember, I like to check heyjackass.com

Latest stats are a person is shot every ~2 hours, murdered every ~11 hours in Chicago. As you say, a neighborhood map shows some pretty high pockets of stupidity and lack of self control.

My favorite story was from last Winter, end of February? Two “teens” maybe 16 & 17, tried to rob a robbery-seasoned liquor store, and both teens end up on instagram, dead, splayed bloodily on the floor of the alcohol purveyor.

A week or so later, the 17 y/o was id’d as the suspect in a multiple shooting at a party a week before his demise.

[umgud]

They plenty of people, what’s the problem?

[oldenuff35]

We are talking about a city, culture, local society, that was built by and only by democrats/liberals/socialiss who have been the sole governance of Chicago for over 60 years.

Right, wrong, fair, good, or bad, Chicago is exactly what the Democrats/Liberals have created. It is the fruit they have planted, tended and grown to maturity, it is theirs and only theirs.

The locally accepted culture of recreational homicide and murder was created by and is completely owned by the liberals.

The uncontrolled black on black gun violence is the responsibility of the liberals and only the liberals.

These 700 homicides have all happened in a culture that has the strictest gun control laws in our nation. Liberals seem to believe that criminals, murderers, will be restricted by laws. This homicide rate proves this to be a liberal fantasy year after year after year. Criminals and murderers pay no attention to gun control laws. Gun control laws only act to disarm the good people while the monsters continue to prey on them.

If you go to the FBI's published data base and look at the who, what, and where, of the firearm homicides/crime/assaults in this nation it proves beyond any doubt that it is the inner city democrat minorities who have a gun problem in our nation.

The rural population does not have a gun problem even while the gun control laws in those areas is very lax when compared to the liberal cities gun restrictions.

The gun violence problem in our nation is actually a democrat, minority, liberal gun problem. That is who is committing the gun violence.

The gun violence problem in our country is overwhelmingly contained in the Democrat ruled cities that have been long term governed by only liberals.

The gun violence problem is vastly the result of 3% of our population, young black males, who actually commit more than 53% of all of the gun crime recorded by the FBI for each and every year for the last 20 years.

The dems/liberals hate these well documented facts but they are real and true as is what they indicate, support, and prove.

Chicago will never get over their culture of recreational homicide and death until the liberals finally admit that what they have created does not fit the definition of a civilized society.

Something to think about....

If we go back in history to where there were no restrictive gun laws at all in our nation, the Chicago of today is more deadly than any of our historical old west cities ever were.
