While the city kills itself the mayor complains about Trump. Typical.

Happened this morning

It happened yesterday late afternoon. Was covered in media yesterday evening. Was likely a gang funeral, as many in the crowd fired back at the drive by car.

Quote:Tuesday's shooting is the latest in a recent trend of increased violent incidents in the city, according to Chicago police data. The number of shootings this year as of July 19 is 1,637. That is 537 more shootings, or a 47% jump, compared to the same period last year, according to the CPD.

There have been 414 recorded murders in Chicago this year as of July 19, an increase of 139 from the same period in 2019, a roughly 51% jump, police statistics show.

I'm in the middle of Becoming, by Michelle Obama, and it discusses her upbringing in south Chicago. Such a different story than the area now. Chicago needs to figure its **** out. One of my favorite major cities but, like New Orleans, large swaths are completely unsafe versus the other half which is largely crime-free. I don't have the answers nor the credentials to figure out solutions for the city but whatever is being done isn't enough and whomever local officials (who actually desire a change) are listening too clearly also do not have the answers.


As an aside, the book is great. Written with a ghostwriter (duh) but really good. Halfway through, hasn't gotten political yet.

So...Blacks are doing to other Blacks what Margaret Sanger wanted to do all along. She's probably mad and rolling in her grave because of that. She wanted the credit.

When the Blacks themselves realize that their people are responsible for all the shiate that's going on in their Democraptic run cities and wake up then perhaps it'll change. Otherwise, keep digging those cemetery holes, they'll need 'em.

The feds are going to have to step in and bring the hammer down on these gangs. The local authorities NEVER will under any circumstance.

Step in NOW and stop this senseless bloodshed.

Gubment don't pay for holes. They pay for ashes. You gotta buy the box to put them in though..
