Here are some interesting statistics from today's Chicago Tribune regarding the 500 murders that have happened in Chicago:
As of this past Thursday, 500 people were murdered in the city of Chicago.
83% of those murdered in Chicago last year had criminal records. Many of them FELONS who'd served prison time. (415.)
60% of those murdered in Chicago had known gang affiliations and multiple arrests and convictions. (300)
2% of those murdered in Chicago were kids under 10 years of age. (10 kids.)
Is this the "Chicago" that Obama referred to last week when he said the city represents the "best of America?" Gang bangers and convicted criminals killing each other? The ones I feel sorry for are the 10 innocent children stuck in that crap-hole called Obama's Chicago.

You can't ask that --- that's RACIST!
Now, I'm familiar with the neighborhoods war zones where over 90% of these murders were committed - they're not dominantly caucasian is all I'm going to say.
If you’d seen today’s Chicago Tribune, Section 1, P. 16 you’d know that what you said is TRUE!
Lets just say when Baraq sends out the ATF to start collecting guns, it probably won’t start with the Chitown ‘hood.
Gun prosecutions under Obama down more than 45 percent
Exclude DC, Chicago, LA, Philly, East St.louis,Milwaukee & Baltimore and we’d probably have the gun murder rate of Switzerland.
