Chicago is #1 — and we mean homicides

Up in Chicago, the news about homicides is not good.  This is a report from John Boch: 

    Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot might not have shouted “We’re Number One!” while pumping her fist as the clock struck midnight last night. However under her leadership, the Windy City easily clinched the top spot for most homicides of any American city. In fact, it wasn’t even close.

    Hey Jackass had the tentative numbers this morning: 842 homicides committed in Chicago city limits. That number reflects a 6% higher body count than 2020. The tally still remains preliminary as additional victims could still surface or wounded parties may succumb to their injuries.

    Sadly, Hey Jackass writes about how the numbers oftentimes slowly continue to rise even after the clock strikes midnight.

    We will wait for the final reports but it's a bad number.

A Chicago friend told me that the crime is primarily in one part of town.  What he meant to say is that most people in Chicago are not impacted by these weekend massacres.

No matter what, it raises two questions:   When is the mayor going to do something?  When is the governor going to get involved? Furthermore, where is President Biden? How can the President of the U.S. allow for a major city to be overrun by crime, especially the weekly murders in the African American community?  I guess that these black lives don't matter.

842 homicides? How many thousands of rounds of ammunition did it take to reach that number?
No wonder there is a nation wide ammo shortage.

Judging from how TV portrays shootings it probably takes 100-200 rounds to get one person.

I had a discussion with a neighbor who was a Sheriff, right after we had an officer killed in a shootout.  The "perp"  fired something like 50-60 at two officers responding to a call.

He was concerned about the "assault weapon" used.  I told him if I had that intention and had a bolt action .22 single shot I would have killed both of the officers with less than 5 shots.  The real tragedy was the officers were given the wrong address, so they were in position behind there car facing the "suspect" house - but the shooter was across the street BEHIND the officers!!!  That is an easy pick for even a mediocre rifleman.  This is the tragedy of looking for a easy "object" to blame when often times it has nothing to do with the weapons.

IT NEVER HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE WEAPONS!

Its ALWAYS about the intentions of the shooter.

Minneapolis and St. Paul had combined (this does not include murders in the suburbs) a combined total of 132 murders ( 96 & 37) as the Chicago metro area is three times larger than the Twin Cities metro area 9 vs 3 million, the far left in Minnesota have to try harder to keep up with Chicago.

At that when Minneapolis had 97 murders in 1995, a special undercover unit, with very liberal powers to stop crime, was created; that was abolished apporox. ten years ago. 
Stupidity has just rewards.
Depending on what time they were killed, before or after 12 A.M., it looks like Minneapolis already has 3 dead this year.
