Homicides in Chicago are twice the number they were at the same time in 2015, according to statistics kept by the Chicago Tribune.
Two killings on Monday morning pushed the number to 95, which compared to 47 by February 22 of last year.
Also, the number of people shot has more than doubled over the same period a year ago, the newspaper reported. About 420 have been shot to date in 2016, compared to 193 in 2015.
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has been under fire over the rising homicide rate in his city amid gang wars that also have claimed the lives of innocent bystanders, usually in the city's poorer neighborhoods.

Damn good thing guns are illegal; imagine what would happen if ;aw abiding fol;s were allowed to carry.
ReplyDelete"black Lives Matter" has done wonders for homicide rates everywhere.
ReplyDeleteLets face the real facts. In all areas in our Country where there is a large concentration of blacks there is more crime. And, that won't change because that's the way the blacks want it or they would be working together to change it.
ReplyDeleteVote Hillary in and we will get more of the same.
