A month of people deciding to kill fewer people doesn’t mean anyone has done anything right.
It’s a sprint to the cameras when it’s good news through sheer luck.
Have they been as visible while the blood’s been flowing recently?
no bias here, their line of BS, backed by their numbers, backed by AP. Guess 500 in the “new norm”
Eventually it will happen.
When half the people kill the other half there is less people going forward to get killed.
The ballet dancer is BSing his public.
The same month they had one of the biggest snow storms of the year.
A few “dozen young people” got in a fight, eh? That was a WILDING. Remember that term?
The article says they are paying millions of dollars for police overtime, but didn’t go into details. Did they start profiling blacks and Hispanics, too?

Rahm is the one that taught Obama how to tout the good news, even if it’s not a credible trend, like when the statistics for job losses aren’t as big one month compared to the general trend where month after month, the jobs losses were really bad news.
So, will Rahm be as quick to go to press with the homicide rate when the next month doesn’t follow the “trend” of the previous month, or when at the end of the year the statistics show a growth in the number of homicides?
Chicago is still the murder capital of the U.S., regardless of them having a “good” month.
But, I wonder how much of the news is more about the massaging of the statistics, as opposed to the real numbers that they won’t allow us to see. With democrats, when they have control of the statistics, you know that, we won’t be hearing the whole truth.
It’s simple, March this year was a lot colder than last. Wait till it warms up.
Surely the severe March weather had nothing to do with it!
Chicago had a big spike of murders in January -- most in the past 10 years. They responded by putting more officers on the street, paying overtime. Add in the effects of the weather, and there has been a big reduction.
It will be interesting to see if the trend holds.
I disagree completely. I refuse to give up my rights just to "save one life". Our rights have been hard-earned through the sacrifices of millions of soldiers and citizens, and I refuse to casually and ignorantly throw away their sacrifice just because some folks today choose to worship the Cult Of Victimology more than they cherish our Freedoms.
It was a cold winter in Chicago. Don’t worry they will make up for it as it warms up.
Coldest March in recent record; “they” don’t like the cold.
One of the gangs has finally reached hegemony status?
This just means that the gang bangers have temporarily run out of ammo.
Ah, I get it now. This is why DHS has been snatching up all the ammo it can for months now.
Know bullets; no peace.
No bullets; know peace.
March 2013 was one of the coldest in history in Chicago. March was colder than December. Wait until the heat comes and the DemocRat scum hit the streets.
Of course he neglected to mention that the homicide rate went down due to bitterly cold conditions that kept most people indoors.
