NY TImes Discovers Crime
Shocking discovery - murders happen in primarily minority neighborhoods!
- CHICAGO — This city’s 471st homicide of 2012 happened in the middle of the day, in the middle of a crowd, on the steps of the church where the victim of homicide 463 was being eulogized. Sherman Miller, who was 21, collapsed amid gunfire not far from the idling hearse that was there to carry away James Holman, 32, shot to death a week earlier.
A funeral shooting at St. Columbanus Catholic Church on the South Side left neighbors fretting that no place, not even a church, felt safe any longer. “It’s become the Wild Wild West,” said Charles Childs Jr., who had watched from across the street as mourners screamed and scattered.
- More than 80 percent of the city’s homicides took place last year in only about half of Chicago’s 23 police districts, largely on the city’s South and West Sides. The police district that includes parts of the business district downtown reported no killings at all. And while at least one police district on the city’s northern edge saw a significant increase in the rate of killings, the total number there still was dwarfed by deaths in districts on the other sides of town, and particularly in certain neighborhoods.
The Times even provides a handy map of neighborhoods to avoid.
And of course, what's an earth-shattering discovery like this without the requisite blame being laid? The Times lists income, education, and racial percentages in its attempt to seek answers.
Nothing about broken homes, though. Missing family structure. And certainly no stats listing access to guns, seeing as how Chicago, Cook County and Illinois currently ban most ownership of handguns. That wouldn't fit the narrative of all guns being evil and needing to be banned - they already are (pending implementation of a court ordered Concealed Carry law that is.)
We certainly hope the local media picks up on this story. Maybe they can start listing the descriptions of offenders.

No the script has to be adhered to.
The message we want the NATO inspired Chicago tourist to come away with is that Downtown Chicago is safe. So please come on in. It's all those border neighborhoods where the problems are.
Except that when we have downtown mobbings and close the beaches because it 80 degrees outside and that's too hot.
Let me ask ya.. Is the NYT piece a peace offering after the NY mayor rubbed the Imperial Chicago mayors face in his little homicide problem?
What do you think?
nothing will change.nothing but victims with no personal responsibilty. the libs will throw away billions on ''saving'' people from themselves while our pension funds get cut to zero. no pol will touch this...the real crime is being PC.
if you want a good puke...read the new jerk times comments....its a real friggin liberal hoot.what a bunch of idiots.
Fuck Illinois, and for that matter, NY, NJ, CA, WA, OR, and all of New England.
Educate your children so they can escape to America.
Are you aware that the New York Times had a black journalist, Jayson Blair, that made stories up and plagiarized repeatedly and when discovered, they wouldn't discipline him because he was black? He resigned and the debate that followed showed that he was an affirmative action hire who advanced because of his race.
The NYT is typical of blind liberal idiocy. They are a socialist run rag nearly as bad as our own.
Here's the link for your reading pleasure.

This was a segment on The Five on Fox News yesterday. Andrea Tantaros said nice things about us.
No mention of the culture that glorifies the 'gangsta' lifestyle. Vilify this way of life. Stop making excuses for bad behavior. Make people responsible for what they do. Exclude, exile the leeches on this great society. If you don't work, you don't eat. It is an easy fix.
I really enjoyed reading over 600 comments to the NY Times article. "Political correctness" will be a huge factor in the death of our once great nation.
Cold hard stats trump all this socioeconomic BS, just an excuse. In the ghetto jobless daddy spreads his seed and ditches the pregnant girl...everybody is on welfare for six generations. Why go work for real when u can gangbang and sell drugs for ten times the money of legit work? Bill O' Reilly reamed Father Pfaker's ass on these points...80% of murders/violent crime is the lack of morals, restraint, and no desire to work or get an education...not buying guns...which hoodrats never purchase legally anyhow!
Did you notice in the Times article that they mentioned Asians but not Hispanics? A little PC to pad the "white" column of murders?
Maybe Rahmbo the Magnificient can give CeaseFire more money from our pensions.
They are to trying help the streetlightmarksman find where the crime is let alone find his way out of a well lit room
Do you think that they will mention that one of Al Gore's partners in the sale of Current TV to Al-Jezeera (for %500 million dollars) is Senator Diane Feinstein's husband, Richard C. Blum of Blum Capital?
You guess! Disgraceful!!!!
Now this is shocking news!
Duh!
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Fuck the big apple and Mayor Bloomballs.Also shit on the Yankees.
In recent weeks, we've heard some people say that the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. But sometimes the good guys get shot – and sometimes, they are killed," the mayor said Thursday night from the hospital where the two officers wounded in the Brooklyn incident were recovering. "Tonight, thank God, three good guys – three New York City police officers, who acted heroically – are going to make it. But we owe it to the good guys to do whatever we can to protect them – just as they do whatever they can to protect us. Instead, Washington is letting the bad guys shoot our police officers, our children, our neighbors – and it just has to stop."
Bloomberg's "good guys with guns" remark was an apparent retort to the National Rifle Association'srecent statement that "the only thing that stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun." The mayor has been a vocal advocate for tighter gun control.
This was the mayor of NY supporting his officer, not like ballerina blaming the average gun owner and not the shit birds with unlawful weapons
hmmm, the map says percent white 24%... nice move sun times. your not fooling me. you have three catagories, black, white and asian... you took hispanics and put them under the "white" catagory. nice try. According to the cpd website the actual number of "white" homicide victims is 2.04% of all homicide victims in 2012. how many you wanna bet were "white" offenders??? im gonna say less than 1 percent. hispanic is not white... white is not hispanic.
