The only positive is, if stats hold true most if not all the victims were felons and for two of the three that were killed their life of crime is over. No prison time necessary.

For the 23 wounded, they'll be slowed down a bit.

Thank God though they all are required to have their own health insurance so as not to be a burden on their parents or society.

You have a 1 in 9 chance of being a victim of violent crime here:

so if you, by chance, happen to find your self here, do what GB Bob does - give up your gun (why would anyone need to defend themselves in utopia? - Crazy Talk!) and rely solely upon the kindness and compassion of the upstanding neighbors which inhabit this pillar of social community, for they will do nothing but welcome you with open arms and encourage you to consider joining them.

No..not really, but I'm not sure what Steve's point either is in posting weekly stats about what sadly occurs in certain neighborhoods. Yeah..if there were no guns, there would be knives and rocks and bats, but a lot less inncocent kids would be killed. Otherwise, besides less or no guns, what is the answer? Build more jails? Agreed..Federal Funds needed though. Longer sentencing? Sure..back to more jails though. I'm not naive, nor Liberal enough to think what you guys think I might, but I sure would love to hear some answers instead of smarmy comebacks.

Yeah...I did think about that one a little late. Point taken

It's meant to serve as a point of reference to what are true problems, that occur weekly, but are ignored for some reason.

You as well as I know it's a gangbanging problem, nothing less and nothing more. Until the self-appointed African American/Hispanic leaders bearing false witness are replaced with actual role models the gangbangers will be protected and falsely projected as victims of the system. Meanwhile the poor, innocent people forced to live in the gang infested neighborhoods will suffer along with the occasional lost tourist.

Unfortunate almost every kid in the city knows who Jesse Jackson and family is but no one knows Donald Thompson. And some here, namely Danzig vilify the man as some greedy capitalist when in fact he was he kid who grew up around Cabrini, made it through Purdue's engineering school and then went on to work his way through the ranks of McDonalds before becoming the company's CEO.

But like ties in kids sports, no valedictorians in high schools, pass or fail as opposed to grades, mediocrity is the new measure of success and a cheating religious leader with felons as children makes for a much better role model of mediocrity than does a self-made CEO who despite growing up amongst the gangbanging, succeeded with pen and paper and not a ball in his hand.

Because Bob, before you get an answer you have to fully comprehend the question you are asking. It's not simply cause and effect. Gang-related crime is rampant for a reason - solve the reason and solve the problem. Unless the "problem solvers" are profiting from the reason- then it may go on for decades upon decades...

oh wait...

Interestingly enough, this radio call ostensibly about Donald Sterling brought up the Chicago shootings:

Great listen.

Crazy when Chicago makes Camden, NJ look enjoyable.

Sign of the apocalypse?

And we wonder while the government is stockpiling all that ammo?
