Is Crime Up or Down?

  • The city of Chicago is on pace to surpass 800 carjacking incidents this year — more than double the number in 2014 and 2015 combined.

    “It’s brutal out here,” one Chicago police official tells CBS 2.

    2 Investigator [...] interviewed recent carjacking victims. One of them, Ian Collins, recalls being pistol-whipped after leaving a River North bar.

    He eventually recovered his car but, without health insurance, he is struggling to pay his more than $12,000 in medical bills.

    He’s not the only victim dealing with the aftermath.

    Citywide, the number of carjacking incidents has soared. There were around 300 in 2013, 2014 and 2015. In 2016, the number jumped to 663.

    Now, in 2017, there has been another big increase. There were 550 through the first eight months of the year, putting the city on pace to exceed 800, according to Chicago police data.
It's almost like there's something.....some policy or whatnot, that has emboldened the thieves that prey upon the car driving public. 
  • Cops chase? No worries - just keep driving. They'll stop.
  • Still chasing? No worries - just sideswipe some innocent party. They're required to stop.
  • You actually get caught? No worries - Kim Foxxx will only approve the misdemeanor.
  • You caught an actual felony? Naughty car thief! But still, no worries - Tim Evans has gotten rid of all bonds.
  • You get transferred to Cook County Jail? Still no worries - Dart doesn't want you there. I-Bond and Electronic Monitoring.
If you want to see an increase in bad behavior, reward it. And remember, as soon as they fix the Chicago Police, everything will be grand!

How can this vic not have any health insurance?
Every year I am required to have HI or pay a fine. I thought it was the evil racist Trump that is trying to eliminate health care that Obama provided for everyone?
Have I been lied to again?

So Mr. Collins doesn't have health insurance. But he has plenty of money to go out drinking at downtown bars and night clubs.

Every time I read the tribune, I hate those people and their views even more. Thanks to the liberal media and this fucking dickhead mayor. They are clearly creating a division of people. And fuck you with the we have to fix the trust of the police. Fix the public, the mayor, and the media. Otherwise just fuck you, will always be us against them. Remember the old caps motto "us and them". It didn't work, they, the public don't want an us and them. So keep up the rhetoric and you are going to get a more us against them then you can ever imagine.

If the car jackets receive ADULT PROBATION, don't worry! Liberal chief Haywood and his two liberal asswipe's assistant chiefs MAT Solbeski and Nicole Raymond have ORDERED All WEAPONS UNIT OFFICERS not to make ANY ARREST or conduct searches. Plus if you're illegal convicted felon, don't worry chief Haywood and his two liberal asswipe's assistants MAT Solbeski and Nicole Raymond have new dept policy not to notify ICE on all illegal convicted felons.

I know. Most people who work can't afford to pay for it so they take the tax penalty instead. Very affordable. Govt is broken and doesn't appear to be heading anywhere but the toilet.

Have fun and be safe out there.

>>>> Arthur Lurigio, a criminal justice expert, says carjacking has spiked in part because crime is up across the city. <<<<

Oh-oh Arthur, now you done it. You told the truth about crime to a reporter. Hope you realize that you really screwed up by doing that.

As such, you'll never get any crime stats from the CPD Brass for a study. You'll never get another Grant from the city. You'll never get invited to another cocktail party for the 'crime expert in people'. And if you own any property get ready for a parade of City Code Inspectors to descend on it like a flock of Vultures on a Camel carcass in the Sahara.

But worst of all, due to your big mouth, you'll never get invited to another 'Rahm for Mayor' fund raiser.

Oh, wait a sec??.....that's a good thing, never mind. rotflmao

Really.. Other than the WHITE SHIRTS who will straight up lie to your faces and sell their souls just to get promoted. Who cares about this crime stats?!? These people who wants to be called "Supervisors" will tell you that they got your back when the shit hits the fan. I call BS!! These idiots are scared of their own shadows and ONLY cares about themselves! Please tell me that I'm wrong, Sgt's and LT's?

For the officers who works in the ghetto. I feel for you guys. These people don't want you in their neighborhood. You try to help them, but you're still the bad guy. Watch each other's back.

No stopping the property crime.
According to the New Restorative Justice SA, a object used as a weapon is circumstantial to the intended motive of taking control of property and not any ensuing injury provoked by the actions of the possessor, regardless of how slight.

A 1% Cook Co tax on all vehicle sales, gas/oil, car washes anything vehicle related to provide health benefits to cah-jack victims would help.
This will get people to stop buying vehicles, use public transportation, reduce green house gases and provide relief to astmatitis-brownkitis (sic) sufferers.

Carjacking is a problem in larger Chicago now? It's just a ride sharing service in the not so fortunate parts of town depending on who or relative who owes who, it's just who shows the gun or knife first that tends to gain the upper hand. Most motorists don't have a murderous impulse toward their fellow human, excepting certain gender and religious types. CHICAGO ain't a lot of people's type of town any longer. If potential visitors think they can't be safe in your city that says a lot about the city itself. Now most folks that go to Chicago for pleasure or business know where to stay; in a safe hotel, bed and breakfast, relative's house. Whatever is the safest for the cheapest price and depending on the relative's or housekeeper's attitudes. THEY GOTTA GET THAT CRIME PROBLEM under control or it'll end up controlling them. Chicago is not a place I want to visit any longer, period, if I can help it.

Smith & Wesson Model 13
or Model 65 with a bobbed hammer
and a 3" pipe...

Instead of that flame thrower .357 Magnum,
load it with some WARM Underwood, Double-Tap
or Buffalo Bore 158 grain +P lead hollow points.

Soft as a gumball...

Devastating for center-punching/knocking a hole
through the logo of some grinning goblin's
ball cap.

Or if absolutely no kind of a fuck is being
given, knock a tunnel through that ass with
that man-killer of old, the 158 grain hard
cast Keith slug of .38/44 Heavy Duty fame
that Underwood has been cooking up for some years.

Be sure of your back stop with that one.
Penetrates like a mofo and was the basis
for the original spec .357 Magnum which
was purposely designed to punch through
vehicle bodies and kill vehicle borne
shitheads as requested by J. Edgar Hoover
and his G-Men.

An old, upright 20th Century Gun Man
was alleged to have said:

"It's YOUR hide.
How much do you value it?"

Pay no attention to the liberal progressive
wet-eyed hand wringers. They think winning
second prize in a life or death encounter
is ok.

"It's mean, unfair and racist for you angry,
conservative blue collar types to fight back
and protect yourselves from THEM."

You said it all no way to live. You have to make a choice. Family obligations or leave. It's up to you
Not sure where you live but I'm also retired, drive a sports car and nice restaurants and don't share your fears. Pays to be alert and aware of your surroundings but can't imagine staying here if I had to look over my shoulder all the time, especially grocery shopping

The old CPD revolver spec .38 Spl+P 158HP isn't a bad round to consider. Soft bullet gives good expansion and energy dump without excessive penetration. Very easy to control. And wheel-gun reliability and simplicity.

I drive a beater that has been folded, bent, spindled and mutilated, but it is kept mechanically and operationally reliable. I call it my Yabba-Dabba-Doo. Even though I look poor and the beater looks poor, you just never know. I will quickly give the beater up to an armed offender and beat feet so I hopefully live to find another beater.

Crime is down compared to one year and up compared to a few years, so the mayor's office entered it all in the computer and used an algorithm named Statistical Accumulated-Interpreted Data 9.5, commonly known as 9.5 SAID, and it revealed all crime is down, so that is what 9.5 said. The same algorithm revealed Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy are all real.
