Nearly 125 Shot Dead In Chicago Over Summer
Total Is About Double The Death Toll In Iraq
Quote
An estimated 123 people were shot and killed over the summer. That's nearly double the number of soldiers killed in Iraq over the same time period.

In May, cbs2chicago.com began tracking city shootings and posting them on Google maps. Information compiled from our reporters, wire service reports and the Chicago Police Major Incidents log indicated that 123 people were shot and killed throughout the city between the start of Memorial Day weekend on May 26, and the end of Labor Day on Sept. 1.

According to the Defense Department, 65 soldiers were killed in combat in Iraq. About the same number were killed in Afghanistan over that same period.

(more...)

Must be all those community agitators organizers... :(

It is a war zone.

Isn't it comforting to see how well Daley's total ban on guns in Chicago works?

Yeah, Bronzeville has been right up there with Beirut in terms of active urban- warfare.

things just turned to shit without BHO organizing those murderous communities.

I guess they all cannot just get along.

My fellow Americans, there is nothing audacious about hope. Hope is what makes people buy lottery tickets instead of paying the bills. Hope is for the old gals feeding the slots in Atlantic City. It destroys the inner-city kid who quits school because he hopes he'll be a world-famous recording artist.

What's the difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama?

One is a well turned-out, good-looking, and let's be honest, pretty sexy piece of eye-candy.

The other kills her own food.

CHICAGO (CBS) ― An estimated 123 people were shot and killed over the summer. That's nearly double the number of soldiers killed in Iraq over the same time period.

America should withdraw immediately from Chicago.  We have lost.  No more federal funds should be spent there.   :fuelfire:
