I’m not buying it either. Somebody is playing with the numbers.

508 Chicago School Students Shot In 16 Months (Flu shots)
To: Sub-Driver
this is silly. are they just counting people of a certain age who were shot and including them in this category of "students"?
or are these people actually enrolled in the schoot system?

Chicago must not have any gun laws or bans, metal detectors, or gun control measures for public school minors. Maybe they’re all 18.

I could believe that 508 people under the age of 18 might have been shot. But saying 508 gangers were shot has a different connotation than 508 students.

Time to pull out of Chicago.
It’s a quagmire!

Not far from the church, on Friday night, an 18-year-old CPS graduate was shot and killed. It was just weeks after his 17-year-old brother was among three young men murdered by an alleged gunman just recently acquitted of murder - within view of a police blue light camera... Bad, biased writing. The story goes on to admit that most of the students aren't being shot at school. Also, the "enough to fill an elementary school" line is intended to create an image of elementary school children, when the victims were likely older. Note the part I highlighted. The message right now is that you can commit murder and walk. Until that changes, people will commit more murders.

Chicago Public School administration should be really upset over all this.
508 times $10,000 per pupil.
That's $5,080,000 they are losing in federal school funding!

This is obviously a problem within the black community itself. A breakdown of the family (single parent homes) a breakdown of moral absolutes. These "people" no longer have God in their lives. And no, you can't call Obama's "mentor and lifelong reverend friend" as being any kind of positive moral influence. In fact it promotes hatred and selfishness. Drugs, "gangsta" rappers, crack whore mothers and criminal fathers (if they are "fortunate" enough to even have a father)and race baiters like Jackson and sharpton, Obama's reverand mentor are all influences that create this kind of black community.
But it's all whitey's fault in their minds.

That compares to 293 lost to hostile fire in Iraq over the same 16 months. Guess the Zeros priorities should be to end the wars in Chicago, Afghanistan, and then Iraq.Excellent point.

Chicago is a community in the depths of cultural meltdown.
The skool kiddies are safe in the publik skool - they get shot in their “hood”, by the denizens of said ‘hood’.
Decades of subsidizing unmarried mothers (once called “sluts”) to produce illigitemate children (once called “bastards”) has produced what Liberals knew it would produce.
Chicago now has whole communities where most of the young males are, quite literally, bastards. Not surprisingly, their behavior is “bastardly”.
Words have meaning. Actions have consequences.
The wonder is that the slaughter of little bastards by other little bastards is not greater than it is.
When an entire city allows a whole generation to be raised in “single parent families”, that city has no complaint - they did it to themselves.

Yup. Obviously the only solution is more funding for police, prisons and many, many more gubberment workers. It IS for the childrun after all...

"how are those gun-free zones working out?" The government should just build a high perimeter fence around Chicago topped with razor wire, with a series of mine fields and razor wire buffers around that, and finally a guard tower system with good snipers and just call it Chicago federal penitentiary of Ill.
The entire nation can dump all class A felony convictions in there to rot forever in the nations first "prison city".
