First the Good NEWS - Shootings are down overall for this year Now the Bad NEWS - Murders were up in April From the article "CHICAGO (CBS) — More than 1,000 people have been shot in Chicago so far this year, and the city has had nearly 200 murders, but Police Supt. Eddie Johnson said he saw some good news in April’s crime statistics." http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2017/05/01/chicago-police-crime-statistics-april-2017-eddie-johnson/
Wait, so gun control in Chicago isn't working? That's so crazy! How are the criminals getting guns if they aren't allowed to buy them?
As of the moment I'm writing this there are only 4 threads on the first page of this forum that isn't blasting Trump, this is one of them. Nice job libs, you're whining is removing all the negative news that you don't want aired. Anyway, can't wait to see libs come in and blame Trump for the murders in Obama's home town.
Blacks fleeing Chicago... The Real Problem with Chicago’s Shrinking Population May 8, 2017 - Recent Census numbers aren’t as bad as they sound—except for one major factor. Since 1980, Chicago has lost more than a quarter of its black population.
Good news would be if Rahm Emanuel was shot by a Crip in Englewood during a money exchange that went wrong.
I know this might be hard to believe, but some people -- especially criminals -- have no respect for the law.
Except Crips are not in Chicago. They're a West Coast thang. What you have in Chicago instead of Crips and Bloods is the Folk Nation and the People Nation. The prevalent gang in Englewood are the Black Gangster Disciples (BGD's) who are Folks. Sorry to get so pedantic, but I actually wrote my thesis on the history of street gangs. I'm a total nerd that way. Other ways too, I'm sure.
Maybe I should have said Bloods or MS-13. They both originated in CA too but seem to have branched out. I also probably should not have limited gangs in Chicago to Englewood. That's just one really bad area. http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2011/05/18/members-of-bloods-street-gang-found-in-chicago/ http://www.topix.com/forum/city/chi...-los-zetas-likely-very-widespread-in-chicago-
