Anyone know the actual number of arrests made or felons convicted and sent to prison in these cases? Doubt the cops are taking any personal risks investigating these cases. Why would they? The Democratic politicians don’t support them and the Soros prosecutors let the felons go anyway. Democratic ruled urban America is unlivable.

42 people shot who survived. The dead ones are relatively cheap to deal with, the wounded ones are expensive. Talk about stress on the health care system and the hospital beds. Also, stress on the partially defunded police to investigate each shooting, just think of the paperwork and evidence that has to be worked up for each person.

Now multiply that by 52 weeks a year. No wonder they are ignoring other crimes, they have no choice.

They fortunately lack shooting skills. I’ve wondered about the low ratio of fatalities.

Why just weekend stats, does the shooting stop at midnight on Sunday? I get the feeling that killing is a 24/7/365 sport in shy town

I ran into this music that perfectly encapsulates the gangsta lifestyle of the majority of Chicago corpses. It probably offers more understanding of who is getting killed and why than any scholarly article.

Interestingly, I found that song because I really liked this parody song and wondered where the original came from. As an aside, I like the parody much more,

This is due to ideal weather conditions; not too hot, not too cold, dry. And look at the Homicide per 100,000 chart in post #8: the homiciding is just getting back to the Clinton years. And remember, the Chicago population was higher then, so the body count was much higher than now.

If community organizing paid better, maybe Barry would come back and work with the yutes to improve conditions. Or, maybe not...

It should get worse in Chicago now that 9mm ammo is more plentiful and much cheaper. You can buy a case online for $389.00 now.

The spray and pray method is used - no aiming involved - range time would just waste ammo

Didn’t Biden send in people to help curb the violence? Yeah, like that is going to work. NOT!

In other news that is more important than this minor headline, the Chicago Bulls have signed Michael Jordan to a new three-year contract. The Bulls have basically sucked since Jordan retired, thus are hoping the past 25 years off will have allowed his body to heal and he can make a solid comeback. The communist mayor of Death-Go stated today all these shooting ARE BECAUSE all of those law abiding citizens with guns have been defending their-selves from the thugs, thus the thugs have turned on each other in anger. IF the guns were taken away from law abiding citizens, then the thugs would be breaking into their houses, raping the women, stealing all their belongings and killing them instead of each other on the streets of THE murder capital of the world after Baghdad. So, fine citizens of chicago, IT IS THE LAW ABIDING CITIZENS FAULT!!! When we take up all their guns, then all this street violence will stop.

“It should get worse in Chicago now that 9mm ammo is more plentiful and much cheaper. “

There’s a book called, “On Killing. The psychological cost of learning to kill on society.”

https://www.amazon.com/Killing-Psychological-Cost-Learning-Society/dp/0316040932/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=high+cost+of+learning+to+kill&qid=1626616607&sr=8-1

In it, the author describes display behavior. In animals, that’s when your cat puffs up and stands sidewise to look bigger. In gang culture, it’s shooting your gun at no particular target. Usually, lots of times. I saw security footage from a Chicago bar where a gang fight broke out. A bunch of bangers were behind the bar with their guns pointed at the ceiling burning through ammo as if it were free. Hilarious. So many shots and the only injuries were bruises from diving under things.

So, if you’re running a business repairing roofs in the ghetto, you’ve got it made.
