Map Of Recent Shootings

Wednesday afternoon's shooting comes on the heels of a particularly violent weekend in the city. Between Friday night and early Monday morning, 36 people were shot in Chicago, nine fatally, and two people were stabbed.

The windy city must get its nickname from all the bullets wizzing around.

Mayor Daley’s gun control is a complete and utter failure. It is very difficult to defend yourself against someone with a gun if you don’t have one too. The law abiding have been disarmed. The criminals have not.

I live in Illinois but I will not set foot in the city of crime and corruption.

I see Chicago's women have a fatalistic attitude. To quote Claytie Williams, they prefer to "relax and enjoy it."

[goodnesswins]

THAT was interesting.....I live in a rather SAFE area.....looks like we have a neighbor convicted of attempted manslaughter, 2nd degree.....among others farther away......

Gene & Georgetti’s is about as far west as we'll venture...

A venture well worth it in terms of taste. The steaks at G&Gs are eye-rollingly good.

Thanks. Must be around Oak Lawn and the expressway then. Not far away at all from all the action.

I have not a clue what you mean in regards to the two city crime comparisons.

lol..

Even though I haven't lived in Chicago for years, I still have the sense to stay out of those neighborhoods on the map.

“Nice Grouping”

Bwahahah!!!!

In the old days this would have been called a crime wave. Now I think it occupies some inobtrustive spot on the evening news between Chicago Mercantile Exchange update and the local weather, as an afterthought by smirking news anchorpeople.

Ah... No, I’m not talking about turning your torso sideways, I mean turning the gun over sideways. With the sights now on the side they’re useless. Recoil also now throws off the aim on a horizontal axis instead of vertical. Its a stupid way to gunfight.

Turning the torso sideways is a dueling technique since the invention of dueling pistols. But smoothbore dueling pistols were horribly inaccurate anyway. A weaver stance wouldn’t have helped. Presenting a smaller target was a good strategy.

But with a modern pistol a shooter can place a shot pretty much exactly where they aim. So shot placement becomes more important than presenting an only slightly smaller target.

What I heard about the one-handed stance with the pistol is not because it’s cool, but because if you’re in a gunfight there’s no cover around, turning sideways makes your body a smaller target and therefore harder to hit

It's always best to take cover. Especially if you've got one of these newfangled Israeli guns:

A lot of shootings, but hell ... they’re spread out over 30 miles or so. The map isn’t really all that impressive....

I have not a clue what you mean in regards to the two city crime comparisons.

For a clue, google Clayton Williams and read about how he narrowly lost the 1990 race for Texas governor to Ann Richards (hint: you are missing a datum).

I check out the website but everytime I click on my home address it gives me totally different areas with pushpins!

[cquiggy]

Iz jest haz ta ax. Ow manny shoetings in Phily and Detroid dis wekand. Maybe we should just instruct all cops to clear out of these areas and leave some extra 9mm ammo laying around as they leave.

More Americans killed by illegal aliens than Iraq war, study says

When you start digging into the numbers the only ones that can be sourced with the feds are the number of American murdered in 2005: 16692
I have seen federal numbers for illegals held in jail ranging from 19.3% to 27% of the federal prison population.

Here's a sampling of USA cities wanted for murder. What you'll see is that in big USA cities like LA or NYC most of the murderers are Hispanic. Unknown are the % of illegals. In smaller cities the FBI will post the nationalities of the murderers. About 25% of the most wanted are illegals wanted for murder. This number agrees with the percentage of illegals incarcerated in federal prisons. +-25%

Pictures of top 10 most wanted in LA. Up until recent stories about crime in LA posted by the LA Times--the pictures included the nationality of the murderers. They were all foreign nationals and mostly Mexican.

Chicago wanted for Murder


Philadelphia wanted for murder

San Francisco wanted for Murder


New Orleans wanted for Murder

Pictures of suspects wanted for murder in Washington DC

FBI USA 10 most wanted. (two of 10 are Mexican nationals) Around 40% of the FBI's wanted for murder are Mexican Nationals

There are currently no exact numbers on the number of Americans killed by illegals. Part of the reason is that the government deliberately obscures the number. I talked on the phone with the head of statistics for the US Bureau of Prisons. He said his office wasn't allowed to publish the number of illegal alien murderers. Rather they were forced to put legal and non legal residents in the same category. I talked to ICE. They put out detailed numbers on illegal child molestors. However, they put out nothing on illegal murderers.

Part of the reason for the silence on the matter is that there is evidence to suggest that most Americans being killed by illegals are black--as is the suggestion in this LA Times Article. Also this article from the LA Times. And here. This makes intuitive sense. We see stories regularly of drug gang killings in Mexico but we don't see those same stories in the USA. The reason we don't see those stories is not because its not happening. Rather we don't see the stories about illegals killing blacks because that kind of story is terribly politically incorrect. The populations being displaced in downtown sanctuary cities especially are American blacks. That means that their criminal elements would be pushed aside by Mexican gangs as well. That's also the story that the wanted for murder posters in all the major cities seems to suggest.

Nevertheless, the pattern of non reporting is starting to break. Discovery Channel has a series called Gangland that mentions ethnic cleasing of blacks by Mexican gangs

Reported Foreign Nationals on Death Row in the U.S.

To look at other USA cities go here http://stlouis.fbi.gov/ and replace stlouis with the city you want.

All that said the true number of criminal aliens is far higher than is revealed by criminal aliens in prisons. Most are simply waived through the courts.DHS Secretary Chertoff, has been quoted as warning that two million people in this country illegally have committed serious crimes. See also here and here

However the number of illegals on death row is far lower.

I have no interest there. Thanks anyway
