Crime is Up

Remember all those times, all those years, we said "Don't read too deeply into daily or weekly trends. Trends develop over months....years even."

Turns out, we were correct and crime is actually up:

• Chicago crime is no longer just rising — it is accelerating.

  What began as an early-year drop has now fully reversed, with violence pushing further above last year’s levels.

  The latest data shows the increase is not slowing down — it’s intensifying across multiple categories.
  This is no longer a rebound — it’s an established upward trend.

SubX News has links and charts up from the CPD data portal - SIXTEEN weeks worth, all posted, all linked and all from CPD's own statistics which not only show 2026 numbers increasing, but accelerating.

This data is available to all "investigative" reporters and the public, but it takes time and actual effort to plow through it all. It even takes basic MATH skills - something the CPS and CTU are incapable of teaching any more because they're too busy indoctrinating students into supporting communism.

All the signs of a bad summer are rapidly coming to the fore.
