436th Homicide, Chicago Surpasses Last Year’s Total
Because the strictest gun control regulations in the city have proven, once again, that when guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.
Say…isn’t Obama from Chicago?
Via the Chicago CBS affiliate:
“It’s a disappointing milestone,” Police Supt. Garry McCarthy said on the CBS 2 Morning News. “You can’t manage this and you can’t talk about murder in a positive fashion.”
While murders in Chicago will easily exceed last year’s total, the murder rate has been declining since April 1, when police began to initiate new gang-fighting strategies, McCarthy said. The numbers are high because of a big spike in violence in the first three months of the year, McCarthy said.
One of those gang-fighting components includes denying individual recognizance bonds to gang members. So far, 5,500 I bonds have been denied to keep gang members in jail while police work to investigate crimes.
Over the weekend, six people were killed and 14 wounded.

Have a question for you: which do you think is better – to be in a White, Hispanic or Black gang? A little help: each has a special mission. The correct response will get a bravo from this Chicagoan.
toddakinispreggers must be in white gang. Can anyone guess why?
“It’s a disappointing milestone” says Police Supt. He’s right, not enough gang members killed this year! Maybe if they pass a few more gun control laws the gang members will do better next year…
