Chicago Murder Rate up 56% [George Zimmerman NEVER seen in Chicago!]

We need to talk about the epidemic of violence that is raging on the streets of Chicago.

The numbers can only be described as terrifying.

Thirteen people were shot and two killed in six hours on Thursday. There have been 23 murders in the past two weeks, and 117 already this year.

Chicago's murder rate is up 56 percent over last year.

The people of Chicago are caught in the crossfire, and we are going to take an in-depth look at the violence.

Why is it happening?

Who is to blame?

[freeangel]

All of obama’s sons did these crimes?

[JOE6PAK]

Same in NY. But the gun shot victoms keep on showing up.

What is der Bloomberg doing wrong?

[ExGeeEye]

It's impossible. No one can be shot in Chicago, as guns are forbidden there. Must be something else.

[ExGeeEye]

Sorry about the hiccup.

[wetgundog]

A lot of NO_LIMIT_NE&&A’s walking around trying to be Gangstas in Chicago.

About 99% of victims are BLACK and 100% of perps are “black” negros opposed to “white” Hispanics.

[cumbo78]

Just for some perspective, NYC had 28 homicides in January with almost three times the population of Chicago. Chicago had 23 in two weeks.

I keep forgetting. What city is Rahm (don't waste a good crisis) Emmanuel mayor of?

[MNDude]

I’m more curious of the democrat to republican crime ratio. I’ll bet conservatives account for less than 1% of all murderers.

[Grizzled Bear]

This cannot be possible! Private citizens aren’t allowed to own handguns in Chicago!

[reefdiver]

Can’t defend Zimmerman, I believe He murdered the kid.

But I will repeat, this is a minority on minority Democrat on Democrat crime

Conservative Republicans were not and are not involved.

And this White Hispanic - new word to me... not buying into it.

That ain’t no white black guy in the big house.

Casey Anthony was white and she walked. Does this have any relevance to the issues we are discussing today?

[TYVets]

Two big factors:

A corrupt liberal political system.

Second or third generation members of President Lydon Baines Johnson's "Great Society"

[Tublecane]

“Who is to blame?”

Prohibition, whoops, I mean the Drug War.

[Doe Eyes]

Casey Anthony was white and she walked. Does this have any relevance to the issues we are discussing today?

Don't think so. She was arrested and tried for murder.

[Tublecane]

Someone pushed them into the bullets, or perhaps dropped the bullets on them from the Sears Tower.

[Popman]

The Martin/Zimmerman issue has an unintended consequence to the nation’s race-baiters. It is bringing to national attention the real issue of black crime.

Let me make an addendum to your post...

It will bring national attention to black on black crime not black crime in general...

The media will never get their panties in a wad over black on white crime....after all "whitey" deserves it... and white guilt will never go out of fashion

[sjmjax]

It's impossible. No one can be shot in Chicago, as guns are forbidden there. Must be something else.

You're right, It's just bad reporting. Must have been space debris.

Everyone knows passing a law banning guns halts all crime.

[dragnet2]

The people of Chicago are to blame, of course. They keep voting in the same kinds of people year after year.

The people of the U.S. have a corrupt race baiting Socialist for a president, an out of control national debt approaching 15 trillion, wide open violent lawless borders, during war time, etc.

Is Chicago to blame?

Chicago mugshots from 2008.

It is his City
