This week's storm kept crime down so much that the shooting was one of the first serious crimes reported to police since the storm landed, Chicago Police Superintendent Jody Weis said. There had been no shootings in the city since around 3 p.m. Tuesday, when the snow first hit, according to preliminary data.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel or Mayor Carol Moseley Braun will straighten that all out.

Gore says global warming is causing an increased number of heavy snow storms. Heavy snow storms in Chicago save lives. QED: Global warming saves lives!

Will Daley say we can stop violence by way of snowblower control?

“This is B.S.

At lease the law abiding don’t have any.

Chicongo is a cesspool of crime and corruption, and with Mostly Brawn or Tutu Emasculate in charge it won’t get any better soon.

I’m sure some zombie dem will soon find a right to a snowblower emanating from some penumbra in the Constitution. “If we just gave people their own snowblower, the violence would end...”
