    Just In: 69 Dead, 295 Wounded … Liberals & Mainstream Media SILENT

    A site called Hey Jackass which tallies up Chicago crime notes the shooting total so far for this year 69 have been killed and 295 wounded.

    Of the homicide victims, 77.9 percent were black and for all you Black Lives Matters folks keeping tabs, police were involved in only ONE percent of the shootings.

    THERE IS A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY ONGOING ON THE STREETS OF CHICAGO AFFECTING THOUSANDS OF BLACK LIVES, AND NO ONE ON THE LEFT SEEMS TO CARE.

    http://fbnewscycle.com/just-69-dead-295-wounded-liberals-mainstream-media-silent/

    Surely there's a solution for this American nightmare. Like any difficult transition, the first step is admitting there's a problem. Which seems to be a problem.

    How about it, my progressive friends. Where's the outrage over Dem-controlled Chicago's 650 murders in 2017?

    CHICAGO LIVES MATTER

    They should probably pass some gun control measures, then the problem will just fix itself. Oh wait...

    Guns are already, for the most part, banned in Chicago. And it’s predominantly blacks and Hispanics doing all the killing.
    There’s no left wing agenda to be pushed here.
    So carry on boys, we’ll just look the other way.
    Now, if we where to experience gun violence of even 1/4 this magnitude in a less liberal more 2nd amendment friendly state like, let’s say, Florida, I bet the media would be all over it, kids would probably be screaming and walking out of their classes and 17 year olds would be dictating to us how we should be changing our constitution while nibbling on tide pods.
    And the media would be lapping it up like sweet tea on a hot summers day.
    Oh wait a minute...

    address the material root causes of crime through social programs and urban development intiatives

    Los Angeles County has probably surpassed 100 homicides since January 1st by now. Scanning the site and guessing, I'd say 97% are Peeples O'Color. http://homicide.latimes.com/year/2018. 633 last year.

    Baltimore -- 42 so far.
    NOLA -- 39 so far.
    St Louis -- around 50.

    there is the equivalent of roughly 1.5 Parklands everyday in gangland America.
    a Las Vegas massacre every month in Chicago's west and south side neighborhoods

    mum's the word, yo

    Well, as the population decreases, there will be more housing available for illegal immigrants.

    no there won't, foreign investors will buy it and keep it vacant as an investment like they did with all of the other housing already. you should know better than to expect anything to ever get better.

    You are correct that the implementation of stop and frisk was racist. This however is not the reason your argument is really bad.

    Banning cars would be very "effective" in reducing automobile deaths.

    My guess is that you do not realize that you were making a Utilitarian argument = Communism.

    Are you an uber left wing socialist ?

    as TSA strip searches grandmas and 8 year old girls...

    'fairness' over safety. which has now, come to find out, morphed into totally unfair....into systematically shielding certain demographics from the long arm of the law, lest they become "justice involved individuals" and potentially mess up their academic scholarships to Astronaut School.

    Yeah, Chicago has problems.

    It is a large and very diverse city.

    Are these statistics supposed to be "news"?

    Starting a thread just to throw shade at your bogeyman (the Big Bad "Dems")?

    Left Derangement Syndrome, much?

    Next. :bored:

    It was meant to be a sarcastic remark. I don't want those folks to die. Banning guns won't stop anything, as evidenced there and other gun-free zones all over the nation.

    Good folks will be in more danger. They won't buy an illegal gun.

    Is this a left-right thing? Are the police Dems? This is an American inner city problem and should not be politicized. It also sounds a lot
    like gang violence.

    It is widely reported in the the real media, so it is a crackpot claim that no one on the left cares. You also seem to lack any understanding of basic math.

    The murder rate per capita for the spike in Chicago is 10.3

    Sharpest 1-year spikes in 10 largest U.S. cities

    For homicides rates per 100,000 people, 1985 to 2016


    City
    Spike Number of homicides Year after change
    Chicago (2016) 10.3

    758 N/A
    Dallas (1990) 9.2

    447 4.2
    Houston (1990) 8.0

    568 1.7
    Houston (1988) 6.9

    440 1.3
    Phoenix (1989) 6.3

    231 -1.8
    Philadelphia (1989) 6.2

    475 3
    Chicago (1990) 5.7

    850 2.4
    New York (1990) 4.8

    2245 -1.4
    Phoenix (2003) 4.6

    241 -3
    San Antonio (1990) 4.5
    http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/data/ct-homicide-spikes-comparison-htmlstory.html


    The 30th worst for 2017 was Waco Texas, with a murder rate per capita of 16.7

    The highest is St Louis Missouri, at 59 murder per 100,000 people

    I know, I just felt like I needed to hammer home the fact that every single tragedy is nothing but fuel for profit. I don't want anybody walking away from this thinking "wow someone solved that issue i sure have no reason to care about it anymore"

    The usual democrat answer. Throw taxpayers money at the problem. They have done that for years to buy votes, and it has done NOTHING to fix the problem.

    Your taxpayer dollars aren't going into the inner cities, they're going into the military-industrial complex to fund R&D, as well as Social Security and Medicare. And the democrats are the party of superpredator hysteria and austerity disguised as opportunity, so they've been more than useless to the predominately black inner cities.

    You actually need to spend intelligently instead of cranking money into vaguely-purposed consulting firms that promise they'll come up with a solution. You know, like spending it on public housing, infrastructure, maintenance and repair, and other things that turn a neighborhood from a dead-end ghetto into a place where people can actually survive without constant struggle or a life of crime.

    You were afraid there were folks that wouldn't understand my point? Honestly, I didn't think folks were that shallow.
