More people dying from gunshot wounds as Chicago marks 400 homicides

[TalkRadio]

If I'm not mistaken, Chicago is Obama's "hometown." The place where he was known as the great "community organizer." I can only wonder what kind of influence, if any, Chiraq will have on the Barack Obama Presidential Center. Does Obama even care?

Four years ago, Chicago didn't record 400 homicides until just before Thanksgiving Day. The city has already passed that mark this year.

Chicago is on pace to have a deadlier year than 2016, when gun violence reached levels not seen in 20 years, according to data kept by the Tribune. While fewer people have been shot this year, more of them are dying from their wounds.

An analysis of Tribune data shows the percentage of fatal shootings is running about 1.3 percent higher than last year. The percentage had been declining in recent years but started to rise last year.

In 2013, about 15.5 percent of those shot in Chicago died. That percentage dropped to around 14 percent the next two years, but rose in 2016 to 15.2 percent, according to Tribune data. So far this year, 16.5 percent of the 2,150 people shot have died.

With half the summer to go, Chicago is on course to top 700 homicides for a second consecutive year, a mark that had otherwise not been reached in two decades.

Is the NRA offering shooting shools in Chicago? Did the bullets get bigger?

"I take limousine into Chicago African slave neighborhood after dark and report back."

"This remind me of 1981 Hollywood movie "Escape from New York" staring Kurt Russel."

"Wish me luck!"

I think you should be asking "Does Trump even care?" He's the one in charge now, don't go blaming Obama for sins he's having nothing to do with, Obama isn't even prezzy anymore. I'm assuming you elected Trump. Go blame him.

Why? The answer is no and there is no reason he should.

He's the one in charge now,

Not really, it's a cobalt blue town in a blue state and as expected a violence ridden shit hole. Just like all the other dark blue shit holes.

don't go blaming Obama for sins he's having nothing to do with, Obama isn't even prezzy anymore.

True, however he did apparently not do much for his home town as it's a bigger shit hole than ever......

Chicago Isn’t Even Close to Being the Gun Violence Capital of the United States

More than a dozen cities have higher rates of shootings and homicides.

Chicago’s homicide rate over the last five years was 16.4 per 100,000 residents. In St. Louis and New Orleans, the homicide rate from 2010 to 2015 was three times as high, on average.

Chicago’s rate of non-fatal shootings was 12th highest of 68 cities in 2015, with a rate of 88.9 per 100,000, according to the Major Cities Chiefs Association. The association collects data from the country’s largest law-enforcement agencies. St. Louis led the list with a rate of 660 per 100,000 — nearly seven times as high as Chicago — followed by Memphis and Oakland.

Cities with most per-capita homicides, in decreasing rank:

New Orleans, Detroit, St Louis, Baltimore, Oakland Kansas City, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Memphis, Buffalo, Wash.DC, Stockton, Miami, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Indianapolis, Tulsa

See how much of a fuck POTUS gives about those places.

Tell me what Obama did as president to address the violence in Chicago.

CHICAGO -- One of the most violent years in Chicago history ended with a sobering tally: 762 homicides, the most in two decades in the city and more than New York and Los Angeles combined.

The nation’s third largest city also saw 1,100 more shooting incidents in 2016 than it did in 2015, according to data released Sunday by the Chicago Police Department. New York, the nation’s largest city, logged 334 homicides in 2016, according to the New York Daily News, while the country’s second-largest city, Los Angeles, saw 294, reports the LA Times.

He probably left it for local LEOs to deal with, as micromanaging it from DC would be sub-optimal.

How do you want Tromp to deal with deadly violence in New Orleans, Detroit, St Louis, Baltimore, Oakland, Kansas City, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Memphis, Buffalo, Wash.DC, Stockton, Miami, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, and Tulsa?

Should he send his his private security squads? Should he sign an executive order exempting LEOs from laws so they can brutalize suspects and bystanders impeding them? Let's see, how do you say GESTAPO in Anglish?

In other words, you have absolutely no idea.
