Not to be cynical; 19 of the 20 shootings were in heavily minority areas, some with severe gang problems. (Chicago has an estimated 50,000 street gang members, but at those numbers, who’s counting?) The one odd one was the shooting at Ashland and Irving Park, about a mile from Wrigley Field.The Lakeview area contains primarily a young, hip, professional, semi-professional people. Equal opportunity drive by? The new mayor, Rahm Emmanuel (nicknamed Tiny Dancer) knows the city is down 2,000 cops and another 250 retiring by year end (out of total 14,000) but can’t seem to find the money in the budget to hire more police officers. And the City of Chicago still has the most stringent gun laws in the U.S. hmmmmm get yours, sucka.

Did the new DHS "Minority Report" system predict this?
(Hmmmm, naming the system after the movie would be strangely appropriate, don't ya think?)
