Fifty Percent?

Ambitious project:

  • Community violence intervention groups on Thursday announced an ambitious plan to raise $400 million through a public-private partnership to try to reduce the numbers of shootings and homicides in Chicago by 50% within five years.

    At a South Shore Cultural Center event attended by Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson, leaders of the city’s business community and largest charitable foundations said the fundraising goal is roughly double the current spending on violence-prevention programs that serve the city’s most-violent neighborhoods.

    The aim is to scale up those programs so they reach at least half of the estimated 20,000 people in Chicago considered at greatest risk of being shot.

They're shooting (pun intended) for an annual homicide total of under 400. Just to put that in perspective, the last time Chicago saw under 400 homicides was 1965 (395 total). That was before we were even born.

Unless the plan involves 10,000 bus tickets out of town for those are "greatest risk" of being shot, we're thinking there isn't going to be much in the way of prevention. And with 1,000 retirements on tap, the chances are even less.

Here's a good start how about denouncing rap/gang social media post. Especially before the murders happen. Additionally, how about not having your only proactive policing officers(tac teams) sitting at City Hall meetings for people(most of the Palestinians) who don't live in Chicago(ie Tinley, Orland, and, Bridgeview) babysitting a resolution that has 0 affect on global conflicts. When are people going to wake up that our tax dollars are being wasted on socialist idealogue alderhuman(?) people who are more ignorant than high school CPS entitled students walking out with gender confused teachers.

The premise is to take $400 million, and use it to reduce Chicago homicides from 600/year to 400/year in 5 years.


This means for year 5, there would be 200 fewer homicides.


If we assume a linear scale, it also means that for year 1, there would be 40 fewer homicides.
80 fewer for year 2, 120 fewer for year 3, and 160 fewer for year 4.
This would be a total of 600 lives saved over 5 years for $400 million.



This would be a cost of $2/3 million for each life saved, $666,667.00 each.

Oh, boy, a bargain.

I'm sure all that was needed to stop the shootings is a bunch more money for "programs." Maybe a "close your fucking legs until you're willing to actually raise your spawn" program would help. Perhaps a parenting class or two would be useful. If all else fails, hand out knives so they have options. Maybe stabbings will take the place of a few shootings. Now that's progress!

WOW…opportunity lost!, If every member (approx 25,000) of the Chicago Teachers Union applied for $8,000 in each of the 2 rounds of PPP money you’d have exactly $400,000,000 that could be donated to the cause (free money converted to tax deductible donation) That would cut the homicide rate by 50%. Let’s go a step further. Since the Pork Chop has taken time from the trough to attend the meeting, and is from one of the richest families in America, he could offer a matching grant. That’s $800,000,000. The math is so simple even a Chicago teacher can deduce that homicides would be eradicated totally.

In the alternative, Chicago could have a prosecutor that,…wait for it….this might be painful….put criminals in JAIL!

There is a divorced RE developer who recently spent a month in jail because he fell behind on his $25,000 monthly alimony. Meanwhile habitual violent felons are given a doughnut, an attaboy and a please don’t do it again speech then sent back to their happy go lucky car jacking, joy riding, whistling Dixie out of their asshole lives.

All the taxpayer $$$ spent on the utopian sanctuary crap would be such a great bonus, the politicians would have enormous heaps leftover to steal from. YIPPEE!!

Oh well…like I said…opportunity lost…so sad, to bad.

Targeting the top 20,000 most at risk? Doesn’t that sound like the program that was deemed to be unconstitutional where every gang banger was given a number based on their propensity to either shoot or be shot? Then they took the top 10 in every district and made home visits, offered them free gang tattoo removal, jobs, relocation money and that didn’t work. Maybe if we throw MORE money at them it will work.

Portly Pritzker should tap his sister's expertise in handling the public money. Heck lunchbucket Joe named Penny Pritzker as the U.S. special rep for Ukraine. Penny will be in charge of all the unaccountable U.S. wealth being transferred as Ukrainian aid to the open and notorious corrupt political leaders. Great, another democrat in charge who is "good" with laundering public money in conjunction with profiteering foreign cooperating human assets.

Penny Pritzker could be named by by her billionaire one percenter fat cat brother Jay Robert Pritzker to be the Chicago Special Surrogate in charge of the $400 million disbursement coalition. The coalition will unite criminals, elected democrats, community organizers, and released felons masquerating as bloodshed interupters distributing million$ of that combatting crime money to good use in certain zip codes.

Will the 400 million facilitate the all too common personal profit publically funded do gooder for the community scams? Or will it truly impact "at risk" communities in need reducing murders, shootings and robberies? If Commander Harris (001) reduced his district crimes crimes by 44% without additional money, just think of how $400,000,000.00 partnership could make crime disappear just like the 400 million!

Also, think of the older black people who grew up in the South in the 30's, 40's ,and 50's under Jim Crow laws and legislated segregation. No Social Security, no Medicare, no handouts. They faced far more racism, discrimination, and hardship than any black person today.

God help us, what “programs” do they intend to “invest” in?

What “programs” have helped to reduce shootings in Chicago?

I can easily list off a dozen or more programs and policies the city, county and state have implemented which led to INCREASED violence in the streets…

“Social justice” prosecutors who refuse to charge members of a certain “community”
“Social justice” judges who give insanely lenient sentences to members of a certain “community”
“Defunding” the police
“No cash” bail

I could go on and on…

But what has the city ever done that led to a reduction in criminal violence? Nothing.

Oh, Mayor Johnson and the reverends will,surely come up with ideas like “investing” in local business (massive fraud) or recreation programs (which lead to more gang shootings), but they’ll never propose the things that would REALLY reduce violent crime:

1. Lock up repeat violent offenders for a long time (regardless of their skin color)
2. Allow (encourage) police to pursue criminals
3. Reform schools so that the students are the first priority, not “social justice” or the teachers’ union - actually teach useful things
4. Change welfare into “workfare” - if people,have to work 8 hours a day, even at a “make-work” job, that’s 40 hours a week they’re not out doing drugs and crime.

Of course, NOTHING will come of this grand plan - apart from millions of dollars slipping into politically connected pockets. And that’s how Johnson and the reverends want it….

Make people sign the affidavit on “Police Misconduct” and hold them civilly liable for false accusations against police and use that wasted money to pay out when police actually do screw up. Put these recent ILLEGAL migrants to work in a city beautification project to pick up the mounds of trash everywhere and let them earn points towards work permits.

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - Contrary to concerns from some local leaders (WHO REMAIN ANONYMOUS), a new study shows a decrease in gun crimes across six of Ohio’s eight largest cities following the implementation of the state’s “constitutional carry” law.

The research, conducted by the Center for Justice Research (CJR) in partnership with Bowling Green State University, analyzed data from June 2021 to June 2023, covering a year before and after the law went into effect in June 2022.

It focused on crimes involving firearms, verified gunshot-detection alerts, and the number of officers struck by gunfire.

But it would be racist to point out that the overwhelming majority of violent crime is committed by black people, followed by Hispanic people. I'm sure it's because white people did something to cause it. It's almost like children of certain races are being raised poorly in a culture that promotes gang membership, drugs, taking what doesn't belong to you, etc. If only there was some way to figure out what the problem could be and then find a solution.

Yes, by all means feed more money into the latest scam put forth by Community violence intervention groups. Let's raise $400 million through a public-private partnership to try to reduce the numbers of shootings and homicides in Chicago by 50% within five years. More bullshit from these groups. In five years the Conehead and the corpulent governor won't be in office so their failed administration will skate like all Democrats holding office. The new Democratic slugs will come up with another money-making scheme claiming the need for more money. Everyone gets to pay again, and nothing is accomplished.

Democrats have ruined Chicago, AKA Murder City, for at least 60 years. From Daley the Dummy, Tiny Dancer, Larry da Loser to now the panicky Brandy Johnson; murder, shootings, looting, chaos and mob rule are permanently ingrained in Murder City. From downtown's Mogadishu Mile to the south and west side, to the Forward Operating Bases of the illegal foreign army occupying various locations throughout the city. According to the Dems and the media, all is good. The beast needs more money, so pay now or pay later. Either way you are gonna pay.

I won't knock the idea of stopping violence before it starts, but what exactly are they going to do with all that taxpayer money? How do you buy a stand-up father? What's the going rate for a conscience?

Chicago's violence problem can be traced directly to: (1) Bad Parents, and (2) Bad Public School Teachers. How many Catholic school kids are involved in this violence?

Put the money into poisoned ammo free to the bangers. Convert those wounded stats into homicides for a year or two and then watch the rate drop a lot. If the illegals take up the slack then another program!

34 criminal indictments for something non-criminal and in which the banks loaned money and received full payment on the loans.

The criminal justice system and all local and federal agencies have been infiltrated by communists.

These progressives need to know one thing. That one thing is that the progressives are responsible for 50% of the murders due to their hands off approach to policing and the policy of arbitrarily prosecuting certain crimes. So save the 400 million and do what’s worked for over 100 years.

You seem to think they don't know what their policies are doing. They know exactly what their policies are doing and is part of the intended consequences.

Standard cook co./chicago vote-buying practice. Hand out million$$ to "community groups" who will work to get the vote out. But will most definitely NOT curb violence. It works.

Money, no matter the quantity, cannot affect the natures of those to whom violence is their default means.

For everything.

Anything.

These ones pull trigger quicker than slapping a mosquito.

And for less reasons.

A cat scratches for far better reasons.

Bed bugs bite for better reasons.

My mother-in-law bitches for better reasons. (Or so she always insists)

A turtle snaps for better reasons.

Even our guvner's ass farts for far more valid reasons.


No amount of money will ever change the defaults of these ones.

So, thusly, grifters grifting.

Your statement would be correct in 2019 but not 2024. Have you seen the gangbangers attending Onahan these days. Pants sagging to the ankles, fights at school dismissal, throwing up their gangs signs at cars driving by. Mind you, these are elementary school childruns, not high schoolers. Devon is the new Foster. Few months left for me and good luck with the DNC everyone.

The "confusion", intentional or unintentional, is due to the reporting under the UCR. Research it. You'll have an a-ha moment.
