Welcome to Chicago.

The scorecard for this past week, per HeyJackass.com.

Shot & Killed: 6
Shot & Wounded: 90
Total Shot: 96
Total Homicides: 8

That’s right:  Nearly 100 people shot.

What do the Chicago “elite” do?

They blame the copsOneTwo.

But they do so without looking more deeply at the statistics:

(Chicago Reader) – A statistic recently cited from coast to coast: 74 percent of those shot by Chicago police from 2008 through 2015 were black, although black people make up only a third of the city’s population.

It’s from the report by the Police Accountability Task Force, published last week. The statistic “gives validity to the widely held belief that the police have no regard for the sanctity of life when it comes to people of color,” the report asserts.

The New York Times agreed with that assessment in an editorial the day after the report was published. “The sense of injustice and grievance that pervades the black community . . . is borne out by the police data,” the editorial said, citing the shooting statistic. The Associated Press News Service cited the stat in its story, which was headlined, “Report: Chicago police have ‘no regard’ for minority lives.” Atlantic Cities ran virtually the same headline over a story that cited the “devastating” shooting disparity.

…One of the complexities: although 81 percent of those shot by police were minorities, many of the officers who shot them were minorities as well.

…the vast majority of the shootings occurred in census tracts that were among the city’s poorest, that were at least 90 percent black, and that had the highest crime rates.

Yes, while blacks comprise only about one-third of the population in Chicago.  Yes, the vast majority of those shot by police are blacks.  However, the vast majority of crime in the Windy City is committed by a small cohort of blacks as well.  Here’s a graphic on the homicides alone.

They want more gun control.

Meanwhile, Chicago’s “justice system” fails to send bad guys with guns away to prison.

Chicago’s grim murder trend blamed on light sentencing, misguided reforms

Chicago (Tribune) –  …The cycle of violence has resulted in more than 800 shootings so far this year, including seven shootings and one murder on April 4 alone. Escalante’s successor, former Chicago Police Department Chief of Patrol Eddie Johnson, says the rate of murders and shootings can’t be reversed until the criminal justice system begins to hold offenders accountable.

Florida’s model works to control crime.

Florida puts bad guys with guns in prison for a long time.  Specifically a generation or more.

What does Florida have besides lots of sunshine, beaches, guns and warm weather?  The lowest recorded rate of firearm violent crime in history.

It’s really not that hard.  Put violent criminal actors in prison and crime will go down.

Until and unless Illinois decides to put bad guys in prison, we will see lots of violent crime.

  1. Gee, try something that works? And take away the scapegoats for the media and government hacks to blame?

    Can’t do that!

  2. When your political agenda fails,blame someone else.They can spend all the money they want up their building their shining light on the great lakes,it will never be anything but a cess pool of violence and crooked politicians.Instead of Italian and Irish gangsters it’s now black and hispanic street thugs running the show.

  3. Just wait til the weather warms up. The ghetto trash will *really* be killing one another like crazy.

  4. John,

    1. This was both scary and thought provoking…

    2. If that homie shooting on the bottom of the graph is of your own design, you win the internet today. I laughed HARD.

  5. Ask Tommy Dart why half cook county jail is EMPTY.
    There is NO money.
    85 bucks a day saved times 8000 mutts running free is 680,000 bucks saved.. EVERY DAY. Thats over 20 MILLION a month they are saving.
    You wanna know what a life is worth?

  6. I sure hope those criminal gangs in Chicago never turn on the Chicago Machine that runs the city, because there won’t be enough good guys with guns to save their rear ends.

  7. The police have no respect for the sanctity of life when it comes to people of color? Are you F#@&ING kidding me! I have worked on the west side for the last 20 years, these animals would kill you for a dollar. They rob, rape, beat, shoot and kill each other with such utter lack of compassion or humanity it is frightening. If anyone doesn’t respect the sanctity of life period it is the poor “people of color.” I am tired of their bullshit, I am tired of supporting every aspect of their lives, I am tired of their hyper violent nature, I am tired of them never taking responsibility for their actions. It is time for a change in this country and Hillary isn’t the answer.
