Still a War Zone

We don't know if anyone noticed, but there's a war going on in the Middle East....again. At last report, thirteen American service members have lost their lives since hostilities began on 28 February.

A sharp eyed reader let us know that during that same time period, twenty-five people have been murdered in Chicago.

We had our doubts, but HeyJackass.com has the March total at twenty so far. And if you go into the Tribune archives "homicide tracker," there were five homicides on 28 February by itself, meaning twenty-five is actually correct.

More murders in Chicago than an actual warzone.

Why is Johnson still mayor? He needs to resign right away.

Wonder what the total would be if some “death investigations” were actually called what they were-homicides.

Guess reporting is a dead and lost career here?
Is anyone using that in their campaign ads?

Twice as many deaths in a war zone you say? And crime is down in Chicago you say?...sounds like they will report on anything they can blame Trump for, and avoid anything else that puts the spotlight on their poor policies and failed agendas.

When I went to Afghanistan in 2012, there were in fact, many more people getting killed in Chicago.

I called Chicago Chiraq because of the previous war in Iraq and all the regular murders that happens in Chicago.
However now I'm now thinking with the war in Iran and all the killing going on Iran might just change their name to CHIRAN. Lol!

After intense Scrutiny & Research, all Local Media have determined that the 25 Deaths were all "isolated incidents", with no common factors, other than happening in Chicago City limits.
