(The Center Square) – For the 13th consecutive year, the city of Chicago once again reigned as the nation’s homicide capital in 2024 with 573 murders.

Wirepoints President Ted Dabrowski views that as a sickness he argues has been allowed to fester for too long.

Even as overall murder rates across the country dipped, Chicago also claimed the top spot for highest murder rate per capita among big cities at 21.5 per 100,000 population, or three times the levels of Los Angeles and nearly five times of New York City.

“It means we have a real problem and we're sick,” Dabrowski told The Center Square. “Until we get serious, this murder problem is going to be a drag on the city in terms of attracting people, attracting businesses and, worse, it's going to keep chasing people away and chasing businesses away. It's something we have to get our hands around.”

Dabrowski adds that while Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson often talks about crime being down in the city, the truth is numbers are down across the country, just not nearly as much in Chicago.

Chicago can celebrate! They're still number one!

Worth repeating

[wildcard_redneck]

I think that Trump should issue an executive order renaming Chicago to “Homicide City.” Watch them howl.

[matt04]

Of course. Keep voting for Democrat.

[Bullish]

Chicago voters must be the most stupid in the entire country after voting their current pin head marxist of a mayor in to office. You would think they’d pump the brakes on the terrible leadership they’ve voted in time after time.

Let's go, Brandon!

>>“It means we have a real problem<<

Ya think?
There were only about 730 total homicides in Cook county over the 14 years of Prohibition.
Ok maybe there were less people. But the math in my head says it is still out of proportion.

>>girl is found beaten, stabbed to death<<

Sick, sick person.
Fry him.
The world is overpopulated, nobody will miss him.

I’ve heard Memphis Tennessee is also a dangerous place. Many have wished for Elvis estate to move Graceland to a city with less poverty and fewer low lifes.

I doubt if the article goes into it (that'sright! I didn't read it!) but I'm guessing the number one victim group is probably black men and women. That's why Chicago is fighting (or farting as Sandy Cortez says) to keep the illegal population up: to replace the number of dependable demonicRAT voters who are murdered.

But then, there's nothing stopping them from voting.

Chicago population is about the same now as 1920, and definitely less now than 1930.

Chicago once again reigned as the nation’s homicide capital

Baltimore, New Orleans and St. Louis deeply saddened.

I’m sure the murders are mostly black on black crime. So, of course it is the fault of white conservatives.

Meanwhile in Illinois, “Statehouse measure could increase Illinois gas taxes even more”

(The Center Square) – Illinois motorists already pay among the highest gas taxes in the country and legislation at the statehouse could make that higher.

House Bill 1283 would allow all municipalities, not just larger home rule communities, to impose a motor fuel tax on top of the state’s gas tax. The measure was scheduled in committee Thursday, but was not brought up.

Illinois Fuel and Retail Association CEO Nate Harris opposes the measure as bad for customers.

BINGO

[NFHale]

Let’s see… What majority minority runs that city… Just asking for a friend…

[ronnie raygun]

Blacks killing blacks is ok by the blacks in control, let one white cop kill a black man and they are ready to burn the city down.

“So, of course it is the fault of white conservatives.”

Chicago libs are smart enough not to be that obvious. They blame Indiana.

I wonder if anyone has done a deep statistical analysis (e.g., K-Means Cluster Analysis, Correlation, etc) on the relationship between ethnic population densities by city and homicide rates. Some cities have above normal ethnic densities than other cities and how does that impact the homicide rate?
