Christmas weekend in Chicago has already seen more gun violence than it did during the entire Christmas weekend last year.
Nine men were killed and at least 24 other people have been wounded in shootings across the city since Friday evening, according to Chicago Police.
Last year, a total of 30 people were shot in Chicago over the holiday weekend, leaving six dead.

The “nation” did not create this problem. It is the result of a festering wound, which, if honestly addressed, is shot down by the race hustlers.
This rests solely on liberals and the black community.
I don’t argue who is to blame, but at the end of the day too many of us sat on our hands and said nothing because we allowed the dumbasses that screwed it all up to shame us.
It is about the kids. We can write off the adults and many of the teens, but we have to make this an argument about kids. Pure statistics and not a care if somebody gets offended.
It has less to do with marksmanship than the fact that doctors are used to saving them. I read that the Army sends its medics to Chicago hospitals to learn how to treat bullet wounds. Gotta keep the Army well trained, you know?

It’s not all that cold here.

Yeah. What are they doing over there on the South Side? What happened to the Blackstone Rangers, the Disciple? They better get up off their asses, or the whole city will be embarrassed. The rest of you. Aren’t their any jealous husbands or psychos? Don’t let’s fall below quota./s
The marksmanship might be better if the gangbangers would stop holding their guns sideways.

I’m in Illinois. The weather has been very temperate for this time of year.
Besides being the most ineffective Sheriff in the USA, Tom Dart is the most sued Sheriff. He has made shambles out of the Cook County Prison System and Law enforcement.
Democrat city rule again proven to be disastrous.
It would be interesting to know the total number of murders in Chicago?
Amen.... in spades

I sure wish we didn’t have so many elephants in rooms. The issue of black on black crime,black youth gangs,etc. Is rarely talked about openly””
Actually the issue of black on black is addressed frequently, but what isn’t talked about, ever, is black on white, black on Asian, and black on Hispanic crime. The incidence numbers are, frankly, staggering.
Giuliani actually had a technique that worked wonders to clean up entire city blocks. And once cleaned up they were a lot easier to keep that way.
After identifying a bad block (he started with Times Square), you flood that block with police. They check everyone there for outstanding warrants, and arrest and ticket for *any* offense.
Typically the bad guys flee, figuring to come back after the police leave. However, out of their ‘hood, they have no support structure or allies or family, and do not know the “terrain”, which makes starting crime elsewhere a lot harder.
When the obvious problems are under control, a much smaller detachment of the police goes from door to door, getting to know everyone who lives there and visitors who belong there, on a personal basis. So they can instantly spot those they don’t know. So when the bad guys return, the police can zero in on them, making it very hard for them to commit crimes.
Then, when the block is stabilized, the majority of the police move to an adjacent block that also needs clearing, leaving the detachment behind as a block watch, and the process begins again.
The tactic was *very* effective, but President Trump could make it even better.
Once the crime part was under control, it could be augmented with a large contingent of social workers and maintenance men. They not only make sure that those living there are getting the benefits due them, but are also getting social services, medical care, their rental and other leases are fair, etc.
And then to fix the entire building, from bottom to top, so that it has good plumbing and electrical; the floors, walls and ceilings, elevators and stairs are in good repair; that there is good security and safety, etc. Refurbishment.
Also the landlord is informed that rents for existing tenants are fixed, and that tenants cannot be kicked out, so new tenants can take their place at a higher rent; nor can the building, or part thereof, be gentrified. This is the price the landlord pays for the refurbishment that they did not provide.
Since the infrastructure of the entire block is likely decrepit, it might need to get a “long weekend replacement” of new sewers and water, electrical, etc. So the street is torn up for a few days, before being covered with new roadway, sidewalks, fire hydrants and light poles.
If this all sounds very expensive, it is. But the zinger is that it is already part of the federal budget, and has been for many years, but has never been carried out.
But if done the Giuliani way, a block at a time, it will solve the problem for a century. Assuming, of course, that the city, county and state government are not permitted to foul it up with corruption and graft.
The real one percenters. Who cause 99 percent of the problems.
As long as they are killing each other, they are not killing anyone else. As long as they want to kill each other, let them have at it. That way the innocent do not suffer as much.
