No Homicide Yet?

A couple woundings, but everyone survived as of Thursday afternoon:

  • Chicago police are investigating after the first person was reported shot in the city about 90 minutes into the new year, an unusually long gap for a “first victim” by local standards. At least four other people have been shot since midnight, but time — and investigation — will ultimately determine which case will become the first “official” criminal shooting of 2026.

    The leading candidate for that dubious distinction is a 43-year-old man who was wounded after ringing in the new year at a South Loop nightclub. According to police, the man took himself to Jackson Park Hospital and told officers he had been standing in the 2100 block of South Michigan Avenue around 1:30 a.m. when he heard gunfire and realized he had been shot in the lower right leg. He was listed in fair condition. 

Don't worry, we're headed into the 40s by next week.

Does climate change really affect the homicidal tendencies of the predatory democrat living in the Midwest? Asking for a fellow colleague.

The South Loop! Billions in development over 20 years to attract people who would pay 1/2mil for a condo. The redline's gonna change that demographic real soon.

You might be wondering how Minnesota, a state once known for Scandinavian stoicism and lakes, became the global epicenter for Somali diasporic fraud.

Exactly- funny how when the numbers are up - it’s a police failure & a gun problem, but when the numbers are down, it’s a “community” success and a mayoral issue. The fact is there are no safe places in the city any longer. “Community” miscreants have exported the murders to every corner of the city even when numbers are low. There are still more murders in places they rarely happened before. It’s also about the perception of safety and if the city is honest with itself, places like downtown no longer have the perception of being safe and prosperous.

Really, there is no difference between a shooting and a homicide. No difference between attempted murder and murder. It's the same action. The gun is loaded, aimed, and fired. I've never understood the disparity in punishment for the same action.

The South Loop is where the dope boys move when they get a little money.
It’s always had an air of artificial high-end.

The west loop is what the south loop tried to be, and couldn’t.

Agreed.
I heard a long time ago that the only difference between an 041A and a 0110 is aim.

The same intent and opportunity are both present.

They did it all over this country in just small enough cities in states such as Maine & Minnesota etc to fly under the radar. And if you think bc you live in Texas or Florida that you’re safe from this - you’re not. They’ve targeted Muslim growth in both those places. Every time I go to see my parents in Florida, I’m shocked a bit more each time how they are growing in communities that surrounding larger cities such as Tampa etc. it’s exactly what globalization intended

A brief interlude, barely enough to take a quick chalkling dump.

It's okay, no rest for the chalkers is the way of it.
