Pretty horrific weekend in the windy city with 58 people getting shot just over those couple of days.

Been going on for a long time. Too long.

2012 - 1,693
2013 - 1,475
2014 - 1,610
2015 - 1,828
2016 - 2,691
2017 - 2,413
2018 - 1,944 (so far)

That is 13,654 people that were victims of gun violence since Jan 1, 2012.

This is a big topic among the Trump supporters. It's the new go-to when the news cycle is unfavorable to the White House.

There is a reason, if you bother to look and not just repeat Fox headlines.

Cool, but I went from NBC to the Chicago Tribune. They do a good job in a couple of the older articles explaining the situation.

Chicago is typically not even top 20 in the FBI murder rate statistics. The murder rates in smaller cities like New Orleans, DC, and Flint have been the highest since 1985, and far worse than Chicago.

Not sure why the focus, maybe NRA propaganda?

Chicago was 9th in cities last year for murder rate from the source I found, but that wasn't gathered from the 2017 FBI UCR. Looks like that wont be published until the fall.

It could end if they voted in Republicans. These issues exist in most dem controlled cities. Dems are not good at governing, to put it mildly. There is hope for these poor folks, however. More and more minorities are waking up to the destruction that dems have wrought.

Chicago is 22nd miker. and most deaths are because of rampant gang violence among 14-20 year olds. context is important

The dog whistles are a blowin' for the righties

But OK Chicago:


It had a darkside when Sandberg wrote about it. Check lines 8 and 9. He wrote about gunmen there waaaaay back. It's a culture thing

hah, yea my brothers live there and seem to like it - many areas are very nice, chicago is highly segregated though.. I'm sure she didnt go driving through the south side

dems dont seem to have much incentive to improve the situation, blacks vote as an ethnic block and the cycle continues. too much black success may lead to repub votes, keep them in the ghetto and reap the vote, violence is contained to the quarantined areas, everyone is peachy

Why do the Faux news people care so much? Is it because it distracts their viewers tiny minds away from how they are being used by the GOP puppet masters as a means to enable their continued corruption?

Data source? Like I said the murder rate I saw had them a 9th among large cities last year. The 2017 FBI report isn't out yet.

What about gun violence in general?

...and yeah, it is mostly gang related. Criminals. Context IS important, but nothing I posted was out of context. lol

1.Because it is a real life example of what dems do to a society. 2.Because it defeats the prog gun control narrative. 3.Because it shows that progs really don't give a damn about blacks and other minorities.

FBI stats. Use the google, you should find it easily. Chicago is a poor argument to use when saying gun controls don't work - not saying that you are doing that, but others do.
