Oddly, it seems to be on pace with last year.

[steps on soap box]I know some people stayed up many late nights helping Chicago to make this achievement. Others sacrificed by foregoing holding a job so they had more time to commit to the cause. I'd like to offer a hearty congratulations to the people who made this milestone possible![steps off soap box]

The city should just build a high fence/wall around that area, and just let them kill each other, but not allow any of them to get out. Sooner or later, there will only be a few left, and then go in and arrest them for murder!!!

But it took four days longer this year to hit 1000 than it did last year. Chicago is improving. At this rate, they will have the shooting problem solved in about 1250 years.

Can we send the mayor a congratulations cake?

"Mr Mayor - Congratulations on Reaching 1,000 Before Any Other City. Well Done Sir!"

I figure a local bakery wouldn't have a clue as to its meaning.

More importantly are the facts! What's the mortality rate? How many shots found their mark? Number of GSW per victim? How many left paralyzed? How many ended up with a colostomy bag!!! People want to know!!!

It could be a new category in the Olympics. Participants would include Oakland, Chicago, New York, etc. The category would be called, "Most successful gun free zones in America."

And if the mayor's office received 20 cakes like this from all the nation, would it be in the news?
