but murders and shootings have risen sharply this year

I thought Chicago was a Proud Gun-Free Zone? How could this even be true??

But we are not allowed to say that negroes are unusually prone to violence. Because we are supposed to be politically correct there are lots of observations and statements of inconvenient truths which will.never be said.

Instead we have to dance around the issue and talk about peripheral issues such as how guns bought in other states end up in Chicago. But we can never say that in ghetto culture, all slights, real and imagined, are settled with violence. We can never say that too many young black.men end up in gangs,,and that the gangs are prone to deadly violence over drug deals gone bad, or somebody looking at them the wrong way.

As of Friday, 131 people had been murdered here in the first months of 2016, an 84 percent rise in homicides from the same period in 2015. There had been 605 shootings, nearly twice as many than this point last year.

More homicides (by sheer number, NOT per capita) than ANY other city in the USA.

We are the MURDER CAPITAL.

Chiraq Mayor Emmanuel has just filled the career ending fall guy job wity a veteran cop who won’t be able to control the City’s West and South sides either. It’s all Indiana’s fault.

The article is originally from the NY Times:

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/29/us/violence-surges-in-chicago-even-as-policing-debate-rages-on.html

There are 729 comments from readers there. The top reader picks seem to be highly critical of these killers:

“Just turn on any local news program and see who is responsible. Day in and day out same faces doing the crime. What in hell is the excuse now? Turn on WCBS Chanel 2 and see how many crimes occur in the 5 boroughs and the suburbs. Everybody’s life is hard. Stay in school, stop getting your girlfriends pregnant, stop doing /selling drugs, speak proper English and dress properly and you might get hired somewhere. Stop using others and past problems for your reasons for shooting and slashing people. That doesn’t fly anymore and people are buying the sorry excuses either.

I’ll eat my hat if this gets published.”

I think that it’s time to call for action and solicit help, have the National Guard to take over and patrol the Chicago streets.”

If that were to happen Obama would send the NG in with no weapons or orders not to have no ammo.....guarantee it.

Chicago has Common Sense & Reasonable Gun Laws for the law abiding citizens.

Thanks to the corrupt elite.

I state the obvious when I say this is a demographic thing. I wish it were not so, but this is the Hutu’s and Tutsi’s meeting again in Chicago.

Maybe another thousand pages of gun control laws might help... /s
