Given the current political realities, the police rarely investigate these crimes, the felons are seldom arrested, they are not tried, convicted or imprisoned. Violent revenge is the only “justice” available to the aggrieved. Decent, rational people cannot live in Democrat run urban America.

"Gun" violence?

Is there some characteristic of the majority of Chicago shooters and their victims (other than that they shot someone or were themselves shot)?

(All my guns are quite peaceful and nonviolent, and have never shot anything except for pieces of paper.)

In 2016, it was already bad, according to this article, "Chicago: 75% of Murdered Are Black, 71% of Murderers Are Black."

A democrat communist paradise. It’s so good people just keep perpetually voting for it.

The good news is many Chicagoan’s don’t have to worry about old age maladies such as aching joints or a slow death by cancer.

It was safer in Iraq and Afghanistan than on the Steets of Chicago. We lose nearly more people each year in Chicago than we lost in both theaters of combat.
