It has been bad there for a long time but with the January numbers just in, the city could hit 600 murders this year. In short, societal norms for any value of human life in the ghettos of Chicago have completely and totally collapsed. Fatherless homes, complete dependence of the nanny state, a collapsed educational system, disdain for law enforcement and gang turf wars are all major factors. As this gets worse, I predict that liberals will continue to use this for advancing gun control. The problem with that is the general public knows too well that this massive level of violence is concentrated to specific neighborhoods. Nothing new there. But despite all that, it is still unbelievable that this is happening in America. Chicago is essentially a 3rd world country now. It used to be a great city, like Detroit of the 1950s, but is now a total disaster top to bottom. What city is next? This is massive death folks. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...anuary-highest-toll-since-2000/79632136/

Very sad - more chickens coming home to roost. This is but one example of the outcomes of the phony Great Society perpetrated by Lyndon B Johnson and perpetuated by progressives and many democrat congresspersons/presidents ever since. This disaster has not happened by accident.

I really don't know why I should care.
Yes, it is my fellow Americans.
But they dug themselves into that hole by electing democrats year after year and then waging a war against the "oppressive" police.
I didn't have much white guilt to begin with, but it's long been used up by now.
As far as the white people in Chicago go, they've pulled the blue lever for years and similarly deserve the destruction of their city.

As more police pull back to keep from being a political scapegoat, these numbers will continue to rise......and I can't say I blame them! Too bad for the police and too bad for all the innocent victims!
Biden's most truthful quote ever came during his first press conference, 03/25/21. Drum roll please...... "I don't know, to be clear." and THAT is one promise he's kept!!!

600? That's a crying shame.
Maybe it's something so simple as ammo shortage. I'd cheerfully pitch in a couple boxes if it'd be any help.

I told my relatives still living in Chicago and the surrounding area to get the city to fence in the entire south side, leave a semi or two loaded with guns and ammo, return in 6 months and clean up.
Think Obammy will return to what he helped create?

heard on the news this evening.. Rahm is telling the police dept to quit stopping and patting down 'minorities' for weapons and firearms claiming it is profiling...( heaven forbid)
So like this past weekend, 6 people were killed and something like 30 plus were shot...up from Stats by 75% compared to a year ago, and the year before that etc...
and I don't think the news folks wanted to be profiling, but they were forced to report, all people shot, or shot and killed were all black.. and they were ALL shot by other blacks...
good thing Chicago has all that anti gun legislation or the black would really be killing each other...
Supposingly, , you have a greater chance of getting shot in a black neighborhood in Chicago, or Atlanta or Detroit, then you do being a Christian and walking the streets of Baghdad...
Good Job Liberals... keep up the good work...

Make it a capitol crime to use a non-registerd gun.
Make Pot a non crimminal offence. Regulate and tax.
And most of this would go away by itself.

Heck, it's still winter time. Wait until the weather warms up...
If they didn't adjust the numbers, to allow for January being a winter month, they are on track for a 1000.

RWE: caugth with a firearm you dont own while arrested for some other fellony. Life in prison!
Pot is smoked by equal parts of the population. Only blacks are jailed 4 times as often. They get a record.. making it difficult to get a decent job, voting, a place to live etc etc..
Booze is a worse drug then Pot, and still its legal.

FBI crime stats, for reference.
