The homicide count in Chicago has soared past 500 so far this year, exceeding the total number of murders for all of last year.
The bloody death toll of 512 was reached after a violent holiday weekend where 65 people in the city were shot, 13 fatally, authorities said. The figure is a 20-year high.
By contrast, there have been 409 homicides combined in New York and Los Angeles through late August.

Trump is proven correct. Again.
Problem is too much policing. That’s causing the low body count.
Just watched CHICAGO CODE series on Netflix. Too bad it was only one season. Likely too much political truth in it.
Murder rate higher in the later 60s and 70s, and the same neighborhoods have all the murders. Nothing has changed in 40 years. Ghetto.
White - 32.0%
Black - 31.4%
Hisp. - 28.8%
Asian - 6.0%
What are the demographics of the killers?
I read last week someplace that there are over 1mm gang members in the US.
nearly 80% of the crime is black on black in specific areas. Parts of Chicago are very safe and parts are a war-zone. This is not a black-only thing as you’ll find the same in poor white areas in Britain. The common causal effect is welfare state and accepting bad behavior - that creates a negative reinforcement loop

Not buying that.
The following is from wiki =>
In June 2010 The Sunday Telegraph, through a Freedom of Information Act request, obtained statistics on accusations of crime broken down by race from the Metropolitan Police Service. The figures showed that the majority of males who were accused of violent crimes in 200910 were black.
Of the recorded 18,091 such accusations against males, 54 percent accused of street crimes were black; for robbery, 59 percent; and for gun crimes, 67 percent.

The same article says blacks make up 10.6% of London's population. Unless you can cite credible data to the contrary, I'm calling BS your claim.
What, like no gun shops? That’s about the only difference.
Go to www.heyjackass.com to view more statistics on specific crimes in Chicago, in such detail, you’ll be amazed at the who, what, when, where of crime in Chicago. Thanks, Byron-the-Aussie for showing the demographic from the heyjackass.com website. This site is used by Chicago police officers for the true breakdown on crime in Chicago. Rahm Emanuel won’t publish the true crime numbers because he feels it will affect the tourist trade in Chicago, (ya think?) and potential businesses who may be interesed in bringing their business to Chicago.
That is documented gang members. Total number is unknown...
Trump’s fault.
Time to leave, it is a war zone
Historically homicide label (and other crimes) is political. Because some homicides (and other crimes) are political.
A white gang in my Chicago inner city neighborhood would shakedown businesses for protection money. They beat-up the elderly owner of the candy store on my block because he would not pay protection. The elderly store owner died of a heart attack 1/2 hour later. I label it homicide. The gang was closely tied with States Attorney Hanrahan. The death was not labeled heart attack, not homicide. No crime of any kind was charged.
That same Hanrahan murdered Fred Hampton 4 blocks south of that store. The murder of Hampton is not in the statistics as a homicide (or any crime).
Chicago political assassinations are conveniently lost in the statistics. Who cares about Lewis, Geisler, Barretto and other assassinations of the past? How many political assassinations occur now and I am not aware of them because I’m no longer on the streets of Chicago?
