Madness. Absolute Madness.


I don't know what the solution is or what the exact cause is, but its just fucking tragic.

Were human beings. Top of the goddamn food chain, we don't need to kill each other

There is a food chain within the food chain.

What the fuck is Chicago's problem? Even with murders down were still way over the norm

Theres a very heartwarming story to one of the girls killed the other day.Talk about madness.

Watching as you do from afar I do not know anymore. Complex problems in out society. I would like to see the stats from times like the 20's and 30's. Depression and Al Capone times compared to now.

If its any consolation, the police Supe blames the gun…

Earlier in the day, Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy, clearly frustrated, said Tuesday at a news conference that tougher gun laws could have prevented the slaying.

“What would have been, under any other circumstances, probably a fistfight between two 14-year-old girls because of an argument over a boy turned into a murder,” he said.

The gun used in the shooting, a legal .38-caliber revolver, was kept in the owner’s car but was reported stolen April 14, McCarthy said. Police departments don’t let officers store their guns in their cars, but under the state’s concealed-carry law, individuals who are properly permitted can.

“That’s insanity. This is madness, folks. This is madness,” he said.

Completely shocked that the victim was in a gang. Doesn't make it any less tragic to me . That kid was an innocent chid at some point. What the fuck happened? The fact that she thought her best option was emulating a TV murderer is also tragic

There's a fuckin reason people like her exist. And its not something we can just throw our hands up and say "live by the sword, die by the sword"

Its time to talk about or address why this keeps happening

Bryan is there any chance that your daughter could acquire a gun and have used it to kill other people in the last couple years without your knowledge?

WCIU

No

But she's 7 and there aren't shootings frequently in our neighborhood

If your point is that shitty parenting a big part of it, I think that's understood.

and thats the reported shootings.

CPD has created full departments now to drive the shooting areas on a constant basis, but these guys cant be on every corner 24 hours a day, at some point the neighborhood needs to help.

There should be a tip hotline, website set up just for areas designated and truely monitored, not some site that you send them an email and they respond 3 days later. I am not sure it solves the issues, but I do know that a reluctance to be seen helping the police exists. Which really kinda negates the request for more police in the areas.

BTW, Where's Jesse? Oh yeah, nobody to shake down here.

Murders and shootings are down AGAIN. We are talking 1950 levels. At some points we need to recognize that this is narrative is being driven by the media.

Bigfan the reason people are reluctant to cooperate with the police in any way is because people have been killed in the past when criminals magically got information from the police about the person who called in.

40 people shot last weekend. Isnt that pretty high for any time period?

It's not media driven though.

Chicago population in 1950 3.6M


Chicago population in 2012 2.7M

Far less population and they are knowingly passing off bogus crime stats.

If They Can Fake Crime Stats....

Put the National Guard & Military on every corner.

That's a bad weekend. Historically the overall numbers are low. IF you believe they are putting out bogus numbers today even though there are a million eyes on them what do you believe they were doing in the 80's and 90's when no one seemed to care that 800 people were being murdered every year?

This shit has got to stop. Put the National Guard & Military on every corner. I would think that most folks in the neighborhood would welcome this protection from these punk ass thugs.
