It’s that time of month again when Garry and pals trot out some misleading stats to convince everyone that everything is going swimmingly.
“Chicago finished February with 20 murders — tied for the fourth lowest total for the month since 1957, police said.”
1957? Why stop there? Why not go back to 1857 when there were likely a lot fewer, if any? The point is no one gives a shit about 1957, instead what should be of concern is the +57% increase in homicides year-over-year for a February that had some really shitty weather (3rd coldest & snowiest). Or how about the eight (8) homicides since Friday?
Anyway, here are some February stats:

It’s just the unusual weather… no really!!
I wish they could bring down the number of just wounded – dead thugs are cheaper.
TOLD you that CCW would lower the murder rates!
(Yeah, yeah I know; the first permits didn’t get mailed until last Friday, but post hoc ergo propter hoc.
Seems like nobody in Chicago shoots worth a shit.
post doc papadapolous snot!
Just wait until the warmer weather comes back around & they break out from their warm confines they were locked up in, due the “Polar Voretx”, with “Cabin Fever” & wanting to make sure their “Lead Spitters” are still functional.
Gosh…globul warming works!!!!
A goat did it.

or maybe it was Mrs. O’Leary’s fat cow that helped, once again. Moose and Mr. Ed were in the stall next door.
It says they finished with 20, how many did they start with?
