I think you’re right. Its hard to keep track, chicago has a lot of shootings and stabbings, especially lately.
I am calling Mayor Ray Nagin of New Orleans - someone is trying to steal our city’s Brand.
Absolutely .. his entire city management is
in complete disarray. All he cares about
are the OLYMPICS.

NRA asks Supreme Court to overturn Chicago handgun ban, apply Constitution to states, cities
June 4th, 2009
###
The National Rifle Association is asking the Supreme Court to strike down strict gun control laws in the Chicago area, setting the stage for another high court battle over Second Amendment protections for gun owners.
The NRA wants the court to rule that last year’s gun rights decision invalidating a handgun ban in the District of Columbia applies as well to local and state laws.
The appeal to the Supreme Court comes almost immediately after a federal appeals court in Chicago said Tuesday that it is bound by earlier Supreme Court decisions which held the Second Amendment applies only to federal laws. Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor was part of an appeals court panel in New York that reached a similar conclusion in January.
Judges on both courts — Republican nominees in Chicago and Democratic nominees in New York — said only the Supreme Court could decide whether to extend last year’s ruling throughout the country. Many, but not all, of the constitutional protections in the Bill of Rights have been applied to cities and states.

GUESS what we can expect from Sotomayor?
lol - You beat me to it.
I am so glad they are a “gun free zone” and do not allow guns or else they could have some serious problems
There is not one big-city mayor or police chief that wants that data posted......
Here in Texas they even attempt to classify murders as anything but murder.... Rape becomes aggravated assault.... The word game...
Now THAT would be an interesting statistical analysis!
Wow! Call your congressman!! We gotta get that health care bill passed TODAY!!!
As long as nobody was “profiled”, it’s “all good”.........
yep...I only found a year old one (still quite eye-opening):

Hell, the google ‘streetview’ car even caught someone in the act:

Happens all the time.
Picture the hoodlums and
street thugs:
the economy, lib politicians,
no parental leadership, no jobs,
nothing but time to make trouble,
rob, kill and die.. I’m sure
there’ll be lawsuits from someone
about something that makes them
out to be victims as always.
But it has to be horrible .. parts
of Chicago must be like a war zone.
This cannot be true. Guns are illegal in Chicago. /sarc
Did the police act “STUPIDLY’?
That should be our biggest concern,n’es pas?
>There is not one big-city mayor or police chief that wants that data posted......
All the more reason to do it.
And wasn’t there something talking about government and transparency a while back? ;)
As long as nobody was “profiled”, it’s “all good”.........

Apparently that's 14 wounded people, no deaths. Sounds like a drive-by.
