125 murders in Chicago this summer...

Double the number killed in Iraq.


Nearly 125 Shot Dead In Chicago Over Summer

Total Is About Double The Death Toll In Iraq

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.

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.

In the same time period, an estimated 245 people were shot and wounded in the city.

Now, I know the Messiah left Chicago four years ago, but surely this was something he overlooked.

125 dead people in Chicago = 250 Obama votes.

[EarthCrisis]

Wow must be a swell place to raise the kids.

Fucking morons, keep killing each other.

[BCH]

I wonder what handgun regulations are like in Chi-Town?

[bethm1b]

Chicago is a great city. This sucks.

[CousinDave]

I wonder what color 125 killed were, and I wonder what color the killers are.

[Absolutely]

Why is Obama responsible for crime specifically in Chicago?

He was a "Community Organizer" there from 1985-1988, that's applicable to Summer 2008 shooting deaths...
Like you said, he hasn't been in the Senate there for 4 years.

If we're going to make Chicago 2008 summer shooting deaths Obama's "Organizin" problem, then Palin should be responsible for 2006 Alaska problems. She was the Governor AND actually in office...

2006:
Alaska Population = 670,053
Murders = 36

Illinois Population = 12,831,970
Murders = 780

(Arizona... 6,166,318/465 Murdered)
That's about the same ratio

Sure sounds like it.

2006:
Alaska Population = 670,053
Murders = 36

80% of those murders were done by Alaskan women.

Also note that the Chicago murder rate is 3 times that.

Because Obama has portrayed himself as the great savior of everything.

[abudabit]

In all fairness the Chicago murder rate is actually kind of low for a city with a high black proportion. 16 every 100,000 people. Typically you get more like 20. By comparison the national average is 7. And Detroit is 47.

[d0uche_n0zzle]

Let the soulless savages murder and destroy their community as they see fit.

[Absolutely]

Because Obama has portrayed himself as the great savior of everything.

Did he?
Why are Alaskan women doing all the killin?

[abudabit]

You heard O&A, Alaskan women are fighters.

[thekidslepthere]

80% of those murders were done by Alaskan women.

I thought they were done by vampires during the month with no sun.

125 dead people in Chicago = 250 Obama votes.

Perhaps more than that...

[MrBogey]

Chicagoans killing Chicagoans is great. It's like ants finding. If only we could find a way to make it more efficient and numerous.

most of that 125 was kids

...CHICAGO.

Way to go Obama. :clap:

:haha7::haha7::haha7::haha7::haha7::haha7::haha7:

And yet, almost no major news outlets will ever report anything like this. I wonder what the DC homicide rate was like during the same period...

[d0uche_n0zzle]

Just use a tactical nuke to take out the useless pieces of shit.

[FellowTraveler]

I hope Ant gave E-Lo one of his guns as a going away present.

[WhiskeyWhispers]

Instead of anti-gun laws, we need anti-****** ones. Problem solved.

[CousinDave]

I wonder how many murders there are going to be come election night when its announced McCain is President Elect.

I'm glad I live where there are no blacks, cause they are going to make the Rodney King riots looks like a party compared to what they are planning if Obama loses.

I hope the Governors give the National Guard orders to shoot to kill.

[Hysterectomeal]

Most of the killings are on the southside and westside, figures.

[Vyce]

As our own - yes, our own - Jim Treacher points out (http://jimtreacher.com/archives/001534.html), "You can call a woman a bad mother for not forcing her daughter to have an abortion, and claim that the same woman didn't actually give birth to her own son, but don't you dare ask what a community organizer actually does."

Remember, Jesus was a community organizer.

[ghirshorn]

I wonder what color 125 killed were, and I wonder what color the killers are.

are you getting at the fact that some of these gentlemen may be African American?
