No doubt many were murdered because they were not Armed..

Democrat firearms violence almost exclusively in Chicago - far, far more of this than by Republicans with legal firearms.

OK I would agree that there were over 500 homicides in Chicago last year but not 500 murders.Homicide is a death in which another person had some part in the death. Murder is a finding of a court or corners inquest. A murder is always a homicide but not all homicides are murders. For all of these homicides to have been found to be murders that would mean that every one of them had been solved and adjudicated to completion. No way in hell has that happened. If a felon is killed by a LEO while committing a crime that would be a homicide but not a murder. If you shot an armed intruder in your home that is also a homicide but not a murder. These two example are justifiable homicide, not murder.
The people who write these articles know the difference and print lies anyway to make a good story. This is very unprofessional.

10,000 VS 532. Notice how we cut the BS thin when we decide that they must be dead. Just what does it matter what the path of a knife or bullet is? Why does it matter that the person today lives when 100 years ago he was dead? You fire into a house and it hits a baby in the brain or sticks in the wall. Mr Montoya fired into a bar last night killing two and wounding others. The corrupt justice system will let him live a full life down the row from the killer of Polly Klass who was also captured red handed.

I’m betting they can make it to 1,000 this year if they put their minds to it.

How many of the deaths were gangs killing each other?

[Hot Tabasco]

the Chicago Police Department, who, this year, achieved a record drop in overall crime throughout our city."

Lets see, murders up, shootings up but crime is down.......What happened, did they stop giving out speeding tickets?

[Jimmy Valentine]

A 20% kill rate with all of those shootings!!?? A lot of people can’t shoot straight in Chi-town.

Keep in mind that NYC had 2,000 under Dinkins. Yes, NYC has triple the number of residents, but it is still substantially more per capita.

How's that gun control working out for you, Rahm?
