I long for the day that the media reports the racial breakdown for statistics for reports like this.

How many people that have been shot are white?

How many people that have been shot are Hispanic?

How many people that have been shot are black?

How many people that have been shot are middle eastern?

Until we know the actual facts, nothing will be accomplished to address the facts of the matter at hand.

Chicago is exactly what happens when the liberals win all the elections, but somehow it is still not their fault.

It's a city with 3 million people and a metro area of 10 million people. It's not even top 10 most violent places in the Midwest. It's not even the most violent place in Illinois.

There's actually a 50/50 shot that where you're from is a more violent place than Chicago is per capita. A lot of Tennessee, as you seem to be from, is a whole lot more violent than Chicago.

You are correct, don't understand why Chicago gets all the bad press. Memphis has a higher per capita murder rate than Chicago, New Orleans and Jackson MS have a rates 50% higher than Chicago. The highest murder rate per capita in the U.S. is St Louis, and it is twice that of Chicago.

The only thing that would fix those parts of Chicago are removing medical care and better aim

So, shootings in Chicago are related to air temperature?

Shooting people is illegal.

Illinois has very restrictive gun laws. Chicago's are more restrictive.

This has nothing to do with the 2nd Amendment.

Go hang out on the South or West side and get back to me with your per capita numbers.

Damn war zones.

Even 15 years ago we did not get off the train in those areas without an armed railroad cop at our side. Cab doors always locked and slouched down in the seat so as to not provide a target if stopped or moving.

Hated working down there.

Chicago and Japan both have strong gun laws. So it can’t be the guns.

What else does Chicago have that Japan doesn’t?

You’re the second person to pose this same question, yet nobody will answer nor finish their statement


I think y’all are going for ‘black people’, but I could be wrong, it’s happened before



Shame on y’all

When I see these statistics it appears to me that black lives really don’t matter. At least not to other black people.

But that’s the thing. There is no reason ever hang out there or even accidentay even pass through.

You’re average college educated person living in Lakeview and working in the loop can go decades without ever entering a bad part of town.

If you aren’t buying or selling drugs or in a gang or live by those who are, the chances of you getting shot are pretty close to 0.0%

BTW. If you ever want any random stat on Chicago gun video violence, this is the place:
