Chicago should say their own name and fix the massive crime problem.
Black on black killings, not a bug, it’s a feature, part and parcel, you’re a racist and it’s due to slavery, reparations now !
Mayor Groot is such a class act. /s
She is an exemplar of Chicago (the Well-Ventilated City) values.

* From 1990 to 2002, 18% of felony convictions in
the 75 largest counties were for violent offenses,
including 7% for assault and 6% for robbery.
* Six percent of those convicted of violent felonies
were under age 18, and 25% were under age 21. Ten
percent of murderers were under 18, and 30% were
under 21.
* Thirty-six percent of violent felons had an active
criminal justice status at the time of their arrest.
This included 18% on probation, 12% on release
pending disposition of a prior case, and 7% on
parole.
* Seventy percent of violent felons had a prior arrest
record, and 57% had at least one prior arrest for a
felony. Sixty-seven percent of murderers and 73% of
those convicted of robbery or assault had an arrest
record.
* A majority (56%) of violent felons had a prior
conviction record. Thirty-eight percent had a prior
felony conviction and 15% had a previous conviction
for a violent felony.
* Forty-one percent of murder convictions occurred
at a trial rather than through a guilty plea. Trial
convictions accounted for 12% of rape and robbery
convictions and 11% of assault convictions.
* Eighty-one percent of violent felons were sentenced
to incarceration with 50% going to prison and 31%
to jail. Nineteen percent received a probation term
without incarceration.
* Median prison sentences received included a maximum
of 240 months for murder, 120 months for rape, 60
months for robbery, and 48 months for other violent
felonies.
Convicted violent felons are among the most serious
offenders in the criminal justice system. They are
convicted of violent offenses, such as murder, rape,
robbery, and assault, and given the most severe
sanctions. A BJS analysis of felony convictions in
the 75 most populous counties found that a majority
of those committing violent felonies had–-
* multiple prior arrests
* at least 1 prior felony arrest
* at least 1 prior conviction.
Additionally, the analyses found that most convicted
violent felons were —
* detained from arrest through conviction
* sentenced to incarceration upon conviction
* sentenced to a prison term of 10 years or more if
convicted of murder or rape.
These findings are based on data from the BJS State
Court Processing Statistics (SCPS) program. The multi-
year SCPS dataset includes a sample of felony cases
filed during selected months in the 75 largest counties
from 1990 through 2002. About half of all reported
violent crimes nationwide occur in these counties.
In 2002 these counties accounted for —
* 61% of robberies
* 51% of murders and non-negligent manslaughters
* 47% of aggravated assaults
* 36% of forcible rapes.
This report presents data on approximately 9,000
persons convicted of committing violent felonies.
When weighted, these cases represent about 33,000
violent felons including —
* 12,950 (39.5%) convicted of aggravated assault
* 10,120 (30.9%) convicted of robbery
* 1,987 (6.1%) convicted of rape
* 1,077 (3.3%) convicted of murder or non-negligent
manslaughter
* 6,650 (20.3%) convicted of other violent felonies.

Race and ethnicity
Forty-one percent of violent felons were black, non-
Hispanic , 30% were Hispanic, and 26% were white,
non-Hispanic. Blacks (46%) comprised a higher
percentage of murderers than Hispanics (27%) or
whites (23%).
Whites(37%)and blacks(35%)accounted for higher
percentages of rapists than Hispanics (23%). Blacks
accounted for 54% of robbers, twice the percentage
of Hispanics(27%)and about 3 times that of whites
(17%).
Blacks (39%) accounted for about two-fifths of those
convicted of felony assault, compared to about a third
who were Hispanic (32%), and a fourth who were white
(26%).
Blacks (55%) comprised a majority of the violent
felons who were under age 18. Blacks accounted for
about two-fifths of the total in each age category
from 21 through 34.
Whites accounted for 13% of the violent felons under
age 18. The percentage of whites rose in each successive
age category, and was about the same as for blacks in
the 35 to 39 age category, and slightly higher in the
40 or older category.

It’s never a good sign when these Political Hacks start throwing around terms like “commonsense”.
“Keep our name out of your mouth”? ...
I am form the west, just what is that supposed to mean?
Sixty-seven percent of murderers and 73% of those convicted of robbery or assault had an arrest record.
If we locked up chronic felons for longer, we could cut the homicide rate in half or more.
The average person is FAR more likely to be shot by a chronic criminal than by a spree shooter.
It used to be be that a politician was expected to at least be somewhat familiar with English grammar. We have allowed those standards to evaporate, apparently.
Yet, she does not address the content of his tweet and the fact that.....At least 43 people were shot — eight of them fatally — in gun violence across Chicago over the Labor Day holiday weekend.
If I remember correctly, an article stated that her first priority as the mayor was to fight for gender equality.
Leftist Bi*ch. Go F**k yourself. Chicago sucks and is the murder capital of the US. I guess the truth hurts.
Chicago wants to deny every citizen the right to own a gun. So start with the criminals. Institute stop and search. It worked for Mayor Rudy in NYC and it will work in Chicago also.
Chicago is a set up line of crumbling dominoes ready to tumble into dust...needs just the right push.
You want to enrage a Conservative, tell them a Lie.
You want to enrage a Leftist, tell them the truth.

yup
“Mouth” or did she say “Mouf”?
The mayor is a real advocate of free speech, as long as it doesn’t point out her incompetence.
“Keep our name out of your mouth”?

Cruz should make a point of tweeting “Chicago gun-deaths so far this year”, with the number-of-the-day appended, every day for the rest of his life.
Cruz needs to concentrate on Texas. Its a big State and plenty to do. How about visiting the districts which didn’t vote for him in 2016?It's not about states or citys it's about guns...pay attention.
Now what would Snake Plissken say?

Well, Chicago has a great history of success and peace during the Prohibition years - when alcohol was banned across the nation. No one had alcohol at all then, right? There were no speakeasies, right? There were no gangsters making tons of money illegally peddling alcohol, right? There was no crime or killings associated with this, right? All they had to do was ban alcohol, and ‘poof’, it vanished.
Surely the same would be true for guns, right? Just pass a law and ‘poof’, they will all vanish, and everyone will live in peace forevermore, right?
Heroin is illegal, and no one has heroin, right?
