Because no police state and guns, in a city where guns are, for all real purposes, banned.



Chicago Murders Have Jumped 71% So Far in 2016

http://time.com/4279702/chicago-murders-have-jumped-71-so-far-in-2016/#4279702/chicago-murders-have-jumped-71-so-far-in-2016/

The number of murders in Chicago in the first three months of 2016 is around 71% higher than the same period last year.

The numbers, originally released by the city’s police department, put Chicago on course to pass the 500 mark for total murders in one year for the first time since 2008, according to a Chicago Tribune report. The number of shootings has also climbed by 73% over the same three-month period last year.

The city’s new interim police Superintendent Eddie Johnson attributed the rise to gang violence and increased access to guns at news conference.”We know who is committing these crimes. It’s a small segment of the population,” Johnson told the Tribune. “We have those individuals targeted.”

The spike also follows a drop in stops by police officers after the department agreed to measures aimed at addressing disparate stops of minority group members, according to a USA Today report.

Yes, of course there are so many murders there because the law-abiding are as disarmed as the ducks in a shooting gallery. But that was true last year, too. So what's different this year?

Is Rahm having a purge? Or are people shooting at Rahm and missing?

Obviously we need to raise the minimum wage

Majority is black-on-black. Rival gangs over squabbles and drug dealing territory. North of 95th, east of the Dan Ryan.

End the war on (some) drugs. End the war of the 2nd Amendment. Problem greatly reduced.

Next.

Why people just get along peacefully.

Sad milestone, especially considering that this city is hometown of current historic DGP and is site of love monuments like DGP's first date.

How can they have increased access to guns? Their ban on sale of some guns was overruled in the summer of 2014. So there shouldn't be any difference in availability between 2015 and 2016.

Liberals killing liberals. What's the problem?

Liberals killing liberals. What's the problem?

Gang/drug related - I dont know the numbers but I'm betting less than 1% have any political affiliation, or are even registered to vote.

The real headline should be how few of these homicides result in someone being charged/convicted (clearance rate). 70-75% of them. ...but its the quality government that chicago has come to enjoy. The constituency adores their criminals and see dirty politics as necessary. True hamiltonians

example 1 - there's years of this sh!t - 70% is actually low:

I think if the police had better equipment this could be prevented.

Perhaps a few more Bearcat vehicles would help.

Racist!

[nikcers]

I promise you the murders will go up if "conservatives" come in here and beg the government to create police state. I fucking double dog dare you motherfuckers.

You're severely misguided if you think "conservatives" give a shit if ya'll kill each other completely off.

If they come in it'll be for "Law-n-Order" not to stop the killin'...

[nikcers]

You're severely misguided if you think "conservatives" give a $#@! if ya'll kill each other completely off.

If they come in it'll be for "Law-n-Order" not to stop the killin'... Remember when CPAC keynote speaker said that he liked stop N frisk, and that a good idea would be to take peoples guns?

Not downplaying the very real problem in Chicago, but to keep things in perspective:

The "crime wave" in the name in of which Dear Leader will further restrict our rights is more like a ripple in a puddle.

Because all the "conservative" cities have so much more crime than the liberal bastions like Detroit, Milwaukee, Chicago, D.C., Baltimore, St. Louis, Oakland, Atlanta, Memphis, Newark, ...
Ever fathom to wonder why the list of the most dangerous cities is also an identical list of the most "liberal" cities. These are bastions of statism and control and police state.
Wake up, and open your eyes.

Hate to be the one to burst your progressive-liberal utopia fantasy but the so called "liberals" love laws and regulations and the police state. Not that so called "conservatives" are not statist, but the Left are the kings and queens of authoritarianism. They are the bastions of big-brotherism. So called contemporary "liberals" are no lovers of liberty. They are raging fans of the police state, demanding more government, more control over everyone's lives.

The left delights in seeing SWAT teams bust down doors of businesses that don't have their proper paperwork, or do banking in suspiciously small amounts of cash, or don't send a big enough cut to IRS goons. They prefer everyone be dependent on government controlled and issued services and permission.

More examples of the left's love for the police state:
licensing and permits for everything - "papers please"
taxation, fees
Selling "loosies" cigarettes - send in the goons
Selling soda in oversized cups - fine them, send in the goons
conduct any gainful activity at all without paying the authorities cut or getting their permission - send in the goods
own firearms
own "scary" firearms that might have a pistol grip, or flash suppressor, some other irrelevant accessory
open or concealed carry firearms out in public
have firearms to defend your home from looters during flooding in New Orleans, why send the goons door to door to confiscate and and then kidnap anyone who does not comply
issue executive order directing physicians to inquire about gun ownership
using cash
taking cash out of the country
taking gold or silver out of the country
gettign put on the "list"
trading in bitcoin
accepting gold or silver in your busienss without paying capital gains for ech transaction in addition to sale and all the other taxes
free speech zones
supports total surveillance state
fusion centers
targeting "conservative" groups , have the wrong ideas and be labelled dangerous extremist, get on a watch list
drive for uber
taking payment for giving rides
any "unlicensed" activity where you haven't paid the overlord's cut
home school your children
collect your own rainwater
live off grid
don't want to over vaccinate your children
express non-pc sentiment
collect petition signatures without a permit
speak out on a public issue and bill without
mandating common core
manufacturing and selling your own products without proper papers and taxes and fees - that's a crime of the century
growing your own food and selling it, or anything at all without paying the overlords their cut
offering jobs and training to unemployed teens who otherwise would have no jobs for less than minimum wage
offering jobs to anyone without deducting the myriad of cuts for the overlords (unless of course they are undocumented nannies and gardeners, because they do that)
selling your home made pies
operating a lemonade or snack stand without their approval "papers please"
saying un-pc things like "build the wall" can get you
and all the other controls they want enforce at the barrel of a gun
and on and on and on and on ....

We aren't going to police "us," we're only going to police "them." This couldn't possibly result in a loss of freedom for "us."
