Four homicides over the weekend and two more Monday morning pushed Chicago's homicide count so far this year to double the same period last year.
The city has recorded at least 95 homicides since the first of the year, compared to 47 last year, according to data kept by the Tribune. The city has also more than doubled the amount of people shot - about 420 this year compared to 193 last year.

#BlackLivesMatter?
Black lives only matter to democrats if they can be used to raise funds for big government liberals. The overwhelming majority of homicide victims are black, and those black lives are being lost in larger numbers than ever because BLM has intimidated the police into stepping back.

They could fi this problem with 4 words. They are “shall issue” and “open carry”.

This is my kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of people, too
People who smile at you
And each time I roam, Chicago is
Calling me home, Chicago is
Why I just grin like a clown
It's my kind of town
[brief instrumental]
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of razzmatazz
And it has all that jazz
And each time I leave, Chicago is
Tuggin' my sleeve, Chicago is
The Wrigley Building, Chicago is
The Union Stockyard, Chicago is
One town that won't let you down
It's my kind of town
Wonder what Frank would sing today?

Gun free zones get more people killed than free areas.
After Hurricane Ike hit Southeast Texas, the Governor was asked about looting in Galveston County. The head of the DPS (state troopers) announced that there was no looting in that county. Reason is that Galveston County has the highest per capita issuances of concealed carry handgun licenses. The bad guys know that almost every one is armed.
Even the bad guys could figure that one out.
