Breitbart:
Gun-controlled Chicago is nearing 600 homicides for the second time since 2003.
The Windy City currently sits at 593 homicides with over six weeks left before the year is over. Thirty people were shot last weekend alone, five of them fatally.
Breitbart News reported there were nearly 800 homicides in the city last year and the Chicago Tribune reports that gun-controlled Chicago had 681 at this point in 2016. So 2017 has witnessed slightly fewer deaths, but is still on track to finish second in homicides.
Chicago witnessed nearly 4,400 shooting victims in 2016, with nearly 3,800 by this time last year. There have been “nearly 3,200 people … shot so far in 2017 … compared to 2,609 at this time in 2015, 2,208 in 2014, 1,923 in 2013 and 2,162 in 2012.”
MJA, you were very kind with your pic. I grew up south of Chicago and actually did some of my paramedic training back in the late 70’s in South Harvey. Left Illinois when I was 23 and only visit family down in corn country. Ah, memories.

When the Mayor and the rest of Chicago’s government have no respect for laws, why would anyone else respect laws? The entire world knows Emanuel is corrupt to the core and he gets away with whatever he wants. Great role model for gangbangers and kids raised by young, illiterate, single moms on welfare.
I’ve reached the point where I couldn’t care less. Why should I care more than those who live or govern there?
Letting gangs kill gangs is the way Chicago deals with their gang problems. Innocents getting shot or killed is just considered collateral damage.
It’s obvious, otherwise, we might be tempted to realize the dems are so involved with the drug trade themselves, in Chicago, that they can’t take sides by finding and prosecuting perps.
THIS ARTICLE REALLY MAKES ME SAD
Obviously, there are a lot of people that need to work on their aim.
Gang bangers killing each other…hmm…my give a flying “FiretrUCK” meter registers zero.
When’s Obola’s trailer park library going up?
It’s not the record he was hoping for but in politics a wins a win.
