Oh what a bunch of crap. The murder rate is actually down in Chicago. Except in a few hoods. Where escalating gang violence has caused the murder  rate to rise as much as 40% in some hoods. And right now we should be pointing at those hoods. The residents of those hoods. And Al and Jesse. And ask WTF. Is up wit dat!!!


that would be racist


Also profiling.




What it really would be is common sense. And it would hopefully lead to the uncovering of the failure of the liberal ideas that have not worked thus far. Over the last 50 years or so billions have been poured into these hoods and laws have been passed. And mommas are still crying and blaming anybody but the real perpetrators of violent crime. Their babies. My baby didn't do nuffin!!!

Quoted:
I was watching WGN the other night and they were talking about 6 people that had been shot in one incident, with 1 person dead at the scene.  Usual suspects, usual victims.

What I found interesting is that there hasn't been a national outrage over the incident and Al Sharpton never showed up.


Dwyane Wade - he of the hoodie-wearing, Twitter social statement - had a nephew who was shot in that incident:  Link.


 "I played with a heavy heart," he said. "I played for him, with him in mind."

  He stopped, paused, as a reporter tried to interject a basketball question.

  As human as Wade and his teammates appeared in that team photo in hoodies a week ago, nothing is the same when it's family.

   "You know," he said, "it's my nephew. I was 9 years old when he was born, so I was an uncle at 9 year old."

  Again, he paused, this a postgame moment unlike any other for Wade.

  "So a lot of thoughts go through your mind and just understanding that God is good and he has another chance," he said. "My prayers go out to all the families involved, especially the one family who lost a child. My prayers go out to them. It's tough."

   But it's also tough when you refuse to turn your back on your community, continue to push for something better in your hometown through your Wade's World Foundation.

  And then this.

  "The thing I think about is kind of where the incident happened, with my nephew," he said. "I remember marching over there a couple of years ago for my foundation, with many kids in the community, to stop the violence.

  "It continues to go."


Apparently the incident was drug related:  Link.

Police say the two gunmen entered the Bishop Golden Store in the the 1400 block of West 79th Street around 6 p.m. and opened fire, hitting six people inside the store between the ages of 16 and 24.

Shawndell Harris, of the 9600 block of South Perry Avenue, was killed, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.

Two others were taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center, two to Stroger Hospital and the fifth victim to Holy Cross Hospital, police said. Four of them were in critical condition as they were taken to the hospitals.

Community activist Andrew Holmes said he saw three of the victims outside the store after the shooting, one leaning against the wall, one sitting on the sidewalk and another on the curb. Two other men were inside, one of them dead.

"They were all hollering and yelling," he said.

Police say one of the shooters was armed with a TEC-9-type gun. The SUV was found abandoned near 76th Street and Ashland Avenue, police said. Detectives were reviewing surveillance video, but no one was reported in custody.

The motive for the shooting was unclear, but police said at least one of the six victims may have been selling drugs in or around the store earlier in the day.


The way many people in that community only take an interest in their kids after they come to some bad end - usually either murdered or murdering - never ceases to amaze me.  It's almost like a racialist Munchhausen's Syndrome.

Guess what Dwyane - maybe that hoodie-wearing, thug-life wannabe culture you're so quick to lionize has something to do with this sort of thing?

I see Zimmerman was in Chicago........... nope.... nothing to do with the white/brown racist guy ....all due to the local thugs killing each other and anyone who go in the way. When will Jesse and Al be winging their way to town to condemn the blood shed......anyone? Nope they still don't care about black on black violence.

Check out this New York murder stat

Heather MacDonald of the Manhattan Institute notes that in New York City, there were nine civilian victims of police gunfire last year, whereas there were "several hundred black homicide victims in the city, almost all shot by other blacks or Hispanics, none of them given substantial press coverage."

Where do you think the rioting will occur if Zimmerman isn't charged in Florida and in the unlikely event that Sharpton and the Black Panthers are successful in whipping up mob frenzy?

in Florida where many law abiding citizens are armed, or in Chicago where they are not?

My guess is that their outrage will be directed against appliance stores and sneaker stores in Chicago.


Sanford is almost half and half thug vs good old boy rednecks..no riots there. If they riot anywhere in Florida my bet goes to tampa.

They were just pissed that they got beat out by Rockford last year.  




I'm posting from the NW side and I can tell you that distant gunshots are down in Rockford.  Chicago had 25 or so people shot in ONE day not to long ago.



I wish I were in Lafayette though, I never did like Illinois.

We should start a pool and bet on what they'll blame it on.


According to the article, they're blaming it on a failure to reassign an adequate number of police supervisors.

Apparently, if you shuffle enough police jobs around, the murder rate drops.

In the legislature, they're (trying) to blame it on unbanned handguns freely available in the rest of the state, as well as neighboring states.

Brilliant idea!  I made a ton of OT back in the 90s working security at the community center midnight BB games.  All that program ever did was to push the spike in crime to 2am.

About a mile and a half away, between West MS and Welsh grade school.  Your dad lives by Cottonwood Airport then and sort of by TV13.  If your last name is Peterson I used to date your sister.

You guys have it all wrong.  They WANT more murders in Chicago.  That's how they justify more gun laws.  If no one is dying there's no reason for gun laws.  That's why the government has started it's campaign called "murder walking" where the government gives you a gun (an assault weapon of course) and tells you it's ok if you shoot your neighbor for snoring too loud.  You won't be prosecuted.  We "want" you to kill people so we can track the murders back to the real culprits - redneck hunters who think the constitution still applies.  They even gave it a nifty name - "Fabulous And Furious".  They were going to use Fast And Furious but that one had already been taken.  And the real bad guys are - the gun industry, the Tea Party, rednecks, hillbillies and the gun industry of course.
