If we just had better gun show background checks.......

Murders in the U.S. rose nearly 9% last year, and one-third of that increase came from just a few neighborhoods in Chicago, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of the FBI’s annual 2016 publication, Crime in the United States.

While violent crime (homicide, rape, assault, and robbery) also rose nationwide from 2015 to 2016 — over 4% — the data show the increase was not uniform, but rather concentrated in cities like Chicago and Baltimore.

Other big cities, including Los Angeles and Washington, DC, saw meaningful declines in violence. So there is no broad trend, but rather local factors that must be accounted for.

Interestingly, the paper’s neighborhood-by-neighborhood analysis claimed that areas where homicides spiked had a “lighter street presence by police following officers’ high-profile killings of young black men.”

In Baltimore, violent crime rates were going down until 2015, when police officers “pulled back from a more proactive approach” following widespread city riots after the death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man who suffered a severe spinal injury.

In Chicago last year, homicides jumped to 771, 58% higher than in 2015, and more than the number of murders in Los Angeles and New York combined. Half of that increase, the analysis showed, came from just five neighborhoods, and is largely attributable to gang warfare. In a “roughly four-mile radius of West Garfield Park,” for example, there are at least 30 gangs.

A FiveThirtyEight analysis found that in Chicago and other cities with high-profile deaths of black men involving police officers, a “pullback in policing was accompanied by a sharp increase in gun violence.”

Most homicides concentrated in a few neighborhoods is excellent news. Criminals need their own space, lets give it to them along with lots of guns.
A good criminal is a dead criminal, but the best criminal is one who kills other criminals.

I'm willing to bet this guy will be dead in 3 years.

It was so inconsiderate of the police to withdraw and not to give the ghetto whompers a lawsuit pretense against the city. Now, all those deaths are just unprofitable.

It was so kind of the lawyers who got rich to make sure that there is an ever increasing unsolved murder rate in the big cities, albeit with no deep pockets to blame or get rich from.

For Heaven's sake, wake up people. It's the Single Mother Ghetto Trash BB-2000s that are the cause.

After bastards two, we sterilize you.

Ceefer- how do the lawyers get rich from "increased unsolved murders" when you yourself admit there's "no deep pockets to get rich from"?
6   Ceffer   2017 Dec 28, 11:30am  

They have made it easier to cordon the areas off and just clear out the dead bodies from the war zones than to go in and enforce the peace and risk police careers/lives or a lawsuit/publicity by intervening. The "deep pockets" are the taxpaying citizens and the cities. Nobody cares if the ghetto whompers kill each other. No police presence, no lawsuits.

There was some program on Chicago where a novice police officer brings in a youth with a gunshot wound to an emergency room, and the intake woman, who is black, says "You haven't learned to leave them there to die yet? He'll be back out and shot again in months."

The feedback loop is broken, and the legal system has participated in breaking it. Welcome to the third and fourth worlds.

Another well run "Blue" city, if we only had better gun show background checks in downtown Baltimore, these senseless killings would stop!

Baltimore has now had 343 homicides in 2017, sets record for killings per capita.

The homicide rate for 2017 is now 55.8 killings per 100,000 people. The previous record was 55.35 per 100,000 in 2015. The city suffered 344 homicides that year, but had thousands more residents.

The most homicides to occur in a year was 353 in 1993, but the city had some 100,000 more residents then.

Just like Chicago, these murders are highly concentrated in the black, lawless parts of town.

10   MisdemeanorRebel   2018 Jan 4, 1:37pm  

If we only could ban Gun Shows from Baltimore and Chicago...
11   Ceffer   2018 Jan 4, 1:39pm  

If we could just nudge the kill ratio higher than the birth ratio, we could turn these neighborhoods into immigrant processing centers.
12   MisdemeanorRebel   2018 Jan 4, 1:40pm  

We could set a generation limit on Welfare. After the 2nd Generation, all Medicaid and Food Stamps and HUD are unavailable.

If the point is to prevent inter-generational poverty, and after 2 generations and 40 years have gone by...

CHICAGO, IL—Immediately upon Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s recent declaration of the entire city of Chicago as an official “crime-free zone,” every criminal in the city suddenly and miraculously left the urban area, according to a statement released by the city council.

Good to know criminals are so law abiding.

In response, all criminals turned in their guns and got a real job.

Notice how zero anti-trumpers SJW types will even comment on this thread.

The light of reality is slowly shining through the end of the SJW tunnel. Trump is well on his way to being known as the best POTUS in history.

Overwhelmingly, and both the CDC and NRA (both organizations at opposite ends of the spectrum) have shown that the majority of gun crime occurs in liberal dominated cities. Fact, no statistic will show the opposite.

"Murphy said. “Basically, this was a totally a random act of violence in the community. But when it happens to you, of course, you’re shooken up."

Why not talk about racist republicans and their policies that have been downing the brothers down for the past few decades.

HEYYOU says
"• 106 individuals were killed by far-right violent extremists in 62 separate incidents;"

"• 119 individuals were killed by radical Islamist violent extremists in 23 separate incidents;"

The Right is such a bunch of losers. The radical Islamist are so much more efficient.
This must mean that Rep/Con radicals never killed or injured an American.

How to create a fake narrative 101. 1) Start stats on Sep 12, 2001 so as to ignore the largest terrorist attack in our history AND 2)Creatively define "right wing" to include any asshole who kills someone. VOILA, FAKE STATS!!! YEAH, for fake news.

Chicago is a huge pain in the ass for most gun control advocates. They've tried pretty much all the gun control methods known to man besides outright bans and the gun crime continues to spike.
29   MrMagic   2018 Feb 9, 8:24pm  

The snow storms aren't slowing the gunshots up by much.

Year to Date
Shot & Killed: 46
Shot & Wounded: 198
Total Shot: 244
