It's always interesting to check the latest stats in Chicago. No matter what other shootings occur around the country and grab big headlines, Chicago just keeps chugging along quietly and with unreported, staggering numbers of shootings. The shootings just don't advance the political narrative. Nothing to see here.



8 killed, 40 wounded in Chicago weekend shootings

Chicago is stably unstable. The conditions that cause it's crime problems are baked into the culture out there. Unless someone upends the apple cart to a very large degree, it's not going to change. And I can't see the political will to do that.

23 just on Sunday! And I’m fortunate enough to have front row tickets to this circus. I get to experience this live and in person!

That's incredible! It would certainly be interesting to sit and have a couple of beers with you and your buddies! It must feel like a war zone at times.

Yeah, things get kinda crazy at times. There’s links to listen to our radio zones. Take a listen to ZONE 6. One of the busy areas in Chicago.

You mentioned “unreported” in your OP. It’s not that it goes unreported, they’re all on paper. We, the Chicago Police document the hell out of this stuff! Trust me, I’m writing paperwork or approving it a lot. It’s either that it’s expected, no one gives a damn, or it’s the butt of a joke on a late night talk show. Per the fbi and some Congressional study, a “Mass Shooting Incident” is ONE incident with 3 OR MORE shot. We had 4 mass shooting incidents JUST THIS WEEKEND!


But Colbert et al. better back off the jokes about this savagery, lest he embarrass Lori (Groot) Lightfoot, and the rest of the Democratic Party.


Stories? Yeah, we got them! Sad, tragic, funny, unbelievable and everything in between. I always said the title of my book is going to be “You aint gonna believe this shit!”

Lol, I know a couple of older lady cops and their book is going to be titled, "Ladies, It Is A Vagina, Not A Suitcase" for all the weird things they have found during female searches. After listening to the #20 through #15, most guys are turning green and leaving.

I have followed this site for a couple of years now.

It is truly amazing to see the numbers.

Where else on Earth would this be acceptable?

The key to enforcement is to punish the violator, not an inanimate object. The punishment of inanimate objects for the commission of a crime or carelessness is an affront to stupidity.

Blacks have been an important part of the democrat election strategy as far back as FDR. Yet we see every day a bloody toll of young Black men killing other young Black men over everything from drug turf to trivial idiotic reasons. Now having said this you would think that the gun control crowd would want to disarm Black people first before everyone else in an effort to save lives but know, go after that ordinary guy who goes to work every day and tries to just raise his family and get by. HE is the REAL target! I have often played with the hypothetical idea of since Blacks are a small portion of the population, would it not be easier to disarm them first and reduce the general bloodletting all at once? They tend not to be the "radical Right Wing White guys who are supposedly the ones who would start a Civil War or Revolution after all-they don't even vote Democrat! I keep coming back to the conclusion that A-They are afraid to do this for fear of alienating a voter block, B-They REALLY just want to disarm the regular working folks, C-They are afraid that somebody will scream RACIST! against THEM for a change. D-They are afraid to try it even though it will not be the politicians doing it but some LEO or military taking on the job.

Keep your powder dry!

Oh wait....

Chicago has more shootings. But Chicago is a way bigger city. Baltimore has more shootings per capita.

There were 342 homicides in Baltimore last year, 56 per 100,000 people who live in the city. That’s the highest per capita in the city’s history and, according to the FBI report Monday, the highest rate of any American city with more than 500,000 people. It’s also significantly higher than the rate in other big cities.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
