Murders up 50%

Well, actually, not unless you're looking at the long term trends. This article doesn't quote the statistics very well, but hey, when has accuracy had any place in the Chicago media?
  • The city is once again on pace to see more than 700 murders this year.

    There have been 855 people killed or wounded in 682 shootings so far in 2017. The violence is significantly worse than what previous years saw: There were just 597 people killed or wounded in 506 shootings on average in 2012-2016 by this time of year.

    There have also been significantly more murders in Chicago than average: There were 170 people killed Jan. 1-April 13, while there were an average of 112 murders over the same period 2012-2016.
The author uses the words "on average" a lot more than she should and it leads to the impression that killings are up - they aren't this year, though the numbers within 20 or so. But on average, the latter half of this decade is showing a significant rise in violent crime.

I expect 1,000 homicides this year and most of those will be attributed to shootings.

A big thanks goes out to Rahm, the ACLU, the Obama DOJ, and of course to the SJW for making the lives of the very people they claim to want to protect more vulnerable as a result of their handcuffing the police.

Even if AG Sessions cancels the consent degrees implemented by the Obama DOJ throughout the U.S. the damage has already been done here in Chicago and elsewhere. The LEFT has finally gotten the police department it has always wanted, never mind about the bodies piling up.

Whatever the actual numbers may be, the more interesting number would be the percentage of no-fucks-given people who couldn't care less that the self cleaning oven ghettos continue to thin their own herds.

Conservative estimate says 90% of Chicagoans don't mind the carnage as long as it's contained to the areas that seem to revel in it.

Keep that line moving, right Mr. SouthSide?

BREAKING TIP....Hey SCC, inmates at Cook county Jail tried to burn guards alive today. Four officers injured. Same inmates who started fire a few weeks ago.. Dart gave them access to a microwave even after starting the fire two weeks ago. They used microwave as igniter to try to burn guards.

Maybe the author of the article is just wanting to point out the criminals are becoming better shots, you know, on average, over the 2012-2016 time period. Maybe the 2012-2016 was just a practice time period.
That now we will see some real shooting in 2017! Wonderful, each one killed can vote democrat for only another, what 8 or 10 years?

Dear Kimmy,

Thank you for the sudden reversal concerning People v. Roberto Almodovar et al. As you know, If we lost, I would have been barred from filing a civil suit against the Chicago Police Department and your office. It is time consuming to wait for witnesses to die, or to have the street gangs broker a deal with witnesses to recant. Anyway Thank you. We already drafted the complaint and will be filing soon. Our firm's donation to your campaign are paying off.

2,936 killed in action during the Vietnam war from Illinois. A war that divided this country. Giant protest marches.a free for all riot in Chicago 68. Kent state. How many killed in street violence in Chicago?750 a year? So, parts of Chicago are more dangerous than the whole country of Vietnam during a war? Maybe more dangerous than Afghanistan or Iraq today? Why not equal outrage? Why selective outrage at the police? The rotten politicians and media shaped Vietnam and the mayhem here too.

As "the community", the agenda driven media, Rev-Runs and lying, thieving politicians continue their assault on CPD these numbers can't be a surprise to anyone with half a brain. Of course the aforementioned culprits don't have half a brain.

We'll have over 900 homicides this year.
Remember the police are the problem and "reform" must be forced upon them.

You must be on anti-psych meds because you seem to be off the beam. Try using some psych-assistance drugs. Things will hopefully become clearer for you. Let me know how your first trip to Englewood as an uber or lyft driver schools you.

Even the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump is commenting.
Special Ed, "on average" proved his worth, month after month over the past year and any statistical chart can prove it.
And he keeps on busting a move with solutions and more answers than questions too.

The mayor should start investing in the community.
That will fix everything.

When you think about it, at least they are consistent, preservation human life is not a priority to them, no matter what age. ACLU, democrats and the liberal media, who promote their killing agenda, is the counter part to Planned Parenthood and together they kill countless defenseless Americans. Couple this with importing radical Islamist terrorist or those brought here to be radicalized to kill Christians, you really have to assume that they are the devils disciples.Think about it.

4/16/2017 03:21:00 A

Remeber when I worked at county and those microwaves came out. Thought that was a terrible idea. They used them to warm up items that weren't even part of their daily meals but stuff bought from the weekly commissary. Like popcorn for movies etc. Inmates had it better than the COs working the tiers. Ice during summer, cable TV, pizza parties(apparently) etc. We tried telling the supervisors that the glass plate inside the microwave was bad idea since it can be broken and made into shanks. They of course disregarded it since they didnt have to deal with the inmates anymore. Total fucking hazzard to the officers just to appease the inmates.

And now this. The people running the jail should be indicted for the dangerous enviornment they have created. All for politics.

I don't believe most people care about the final total. If they did, they would have done something significant like for example, no I bonds. By the way, what about the Du Page County judge who had to go to 26th and Cal for the bond hearing on the guy the charged for killing the judge? Did he set a bond or did he stay true to his homies and set a no bond hold? Just wondering.

There has always been that age-old joke about dropping an bomb on a particular neighborhood and setting the inhabitants back to the stone-age...and the pile of rubble left would be an improvement.

With the statistical bullshit that comes from CPD and then enhanced by progressives at City Hall,
I think it would be in the best interest for all taxpayers that if there's any leftover MOAB's not destined for Afghanistan, maybe one could be dispatched to 121 N. LaSalle (Centroid coordinates: 41.883850, -87.631661) on any second or fourth Wednesday by 11:00am.

Why in the world does Rahm keep painting Chicago as a rosy garden?
Hasn't he gone out to spend time in the ghettos or is he simply relying Special Ed's weekly community crime assessments.

Time to wake up citizen trolls:
Rahm's Plan to turn your City into a Third World Hellhole starts with a few misleading numbers.

A war zone is much different. Patrolling a Tikrit is much different than driving around 7 or 10/11. I guess I'm a easy going dude but I can handle the baby mama drama and the dope addicts fighting.

Did you hear the statement that the Pope made? If you had an abortion you are no longer excommunicated from the Catholic Church. All you have to do is tell a priest that you are sorry and it's all good! Just get back to putting cash in the collection baskets, have to support the real church's like St. Sabina! It really is getting pathetic! No one, anywhere, cares about the victims of their actions.

What do you mean by double dipping? 90% of all police officers have side jobs to provide a decent living for their families. They are not on the clock when working at DOA. FAA demands that aviation security must receive training from a police academy. Why when they are security guards, nothing more? Why hire officers from other agencies to work at airport part time? CPD unit at the airports are short handed, as every unit in the city. So, DOA are responding more quickly to calls but must wait for CPD to respond. DOA lacks any qualified supervision and leadership so young officers are on their own. Retired officers are the best candidates to work for DOA.
