Chicago's homicides have increased over 50 percent this year over last.

Nice to see strict gun control laws working.

Fractured gangs behind Chicago homicide surge
'There is no one to control this, so it has become haywire,' says one gang member

The numbers clearly show there is a problem, with eight killed and at least 35 wounded in a spasm of gunfire last weekend.

The violence is nowhere near its historical peak of the early 1990s, when Chicago recorded roughly 900 homicides per year. But from Jan. 1 through late May there were 203 homicides, an increase of more than 50 percent over the 134 during the same period in 2011.

It's starting to spill over into the business district. Roving gangs of teens beating people up randomly. There are 10k police to cover a city of 2 1/2 million. They need far more, but can't afford it.

They may end up drawing a line between North and South, leaving the South to the gangs in return for no violence in business and affluent areas. They won't admit that, but it may become an unseen practice.

Chicago is the crime capital of the United States.

There is so much violence, that the Chicago mayor requested the assistance of the national guard to help with law enforcement efforts.

There are like 10-15 homicides every single day, mostly in gang-related shootings.
