One-Third Of The 2016 Spike In U.S. Homicides Came From Just 5 Chicago Neighborhoods

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.
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.

Democratic Candidate For Illinois Attorney General Mugged At Gunpoint During Chicago Photo Shoot
"• 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.

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.”
