Last week the Chicago Tribune pointed out that nearly 100 people had been shot in Chicago in less than a week. 9 people were killed on Monday alone marking the deadliest day for the city in 13 years. Now, with weekend data out, turns out the story is even worse. For the week ended 8/13, a total of 110 people were shot in Chicago with 24 of them killed. YTD statistics indicate the city is spiraling out of control with total shootings up to 2,621, a mere ~50% YoY increase, with 445 total homicides.
The current homicide rate through August indicates the city is on pace for over 700 homicides in 2016, a 63% increase from 2015 (see chart below).

Rahm "the terrible" Emanuel is a terrific Mayor.
Doing a great job Rahm-my
How's that gun control working for you?
Thinning the herd! Keep up the good work.
How long until all the Democrats there have killed all the other Democrats there?
I will say this: The last guy standing in that "baddest part of town" will absolutely be somebody I'd never want to mess with.
So black lives matter decides to protest in Memphis instead of Chicago? Who's payroll are they really on?
Rahm has dual citizenship in Israel and the US.
He probably should consider trying to be a Mayor in Israel.
Chicago is a tough town and he should be embarrassed by his poor performance.
C'mon Baltimore! Chicago is whuppin' your butt in shootings and killings. It's like you're not even trying!
Just being the best 'looting city' isn't nearly as good as Murder Capitol of the Country.
BLM?
martial law, dusk to dawn curfew with shooting on site, sounds like a good start.
