The truly horrifying thing is that Rahm is relatively sane compared with his likely successor Jabba The Union Activist.

The level of gun control almost guarantees that it will be a murder capital.

Detroit and Gary,IN will be jealous.

* The whole story you say the media isn’t telling. *

The media is on his side.

Think what the media would be saying about Chicago if they told the truth.

If Chicago isn’t the “murder capital” then it must surely be the “bad shot capital”! :O

Splitting hairs, a bit. Per capita, they are 25th in the country.

Chicago has the most murders, but is 6th in muders per 100,000,behind New Orleans, Detroit , Baltimore, Memphis, and Philadelphia.

Rahm’s a useless tool.
