NBC Chicago gives us the story:
A new report declares an area of Chicago as “America’s Mass-Shooting Capital” and described it as more dangerous to live in than some of the world’s most murderous countries, according to a new report.
West Garfield Park, which has a population of 18,000, saw 21 murders in 2014, according to The Daily Beast’s report. This makes the area’s homicide rate 116 per 100,000 people.
West Garfield Park is a low-income neighborhood, primarily black (96%) where government welfare checks are a way of life. Crime there is sky high and anyone who is anyone has left, leaving those behind who cannot afford to move or those with community ties behind. The population has plummeted from 70,000 in 1970 to less than 18,000 today.
The law-abiding residents who remain could probably benefit from legal firearms ownership and some ballistic therapy for the violent hoodlums who seem to run unchecked through the neighborhood, undoubtedly terrorizing the good people who remain.
What NBC Chicago didn’t discuss in their story (nor the Daily Beast, a far-left news blog, where NBC Chicago got much of their information) was how there have already been 38 homicides in that neighborhood this year.
Doing some public school, non-Common Core math, that means that SO FAR this year, their homicide rate is 210/100,000 or 2.33 times that of Honduras.
Thug life. Ain’t it grand?
Nobody deserves to be terrorized by America’s criminal class. Firearm ownership is the great equalizer.
People have to stand up for themselves and protect and defend their lives and property from criminal attack.
