[JIBBBY]

Chicago is a dump along with Detroit and Atlanta.

Can add Cleveland and Washington to that list...

[HockeyRocks]

Jesse and Al don't show up for blacks killed by blacks. Nobody to shakedown.

You are a lying piece of shit... A simple google search will show you all the anti gun violence rally's both have put together. How many have you attended or put together. I've seen several here in Houston. Here's one upcoming next month.

Fukkk off. If you're not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. You bitches just like to post stupid shit to make you feel better about doing NOTHING. When last have you reached out to a vet? When last have you helped a kid or family in the ghetto?

Libs/Dems lose their shitt when topics like this comes up

Horse fukkking shit. They are getting the guns from neighboring states.

The problem is that there's TOO MANY DAMN GUNS. No gun = No shot by a gun

The powers to be drop ship guns into these neighborhoods on purpose, just like they set up liquor stores. What the fukk do you expect to happen? These are ALL gang related turf wars. It was the same with Italians and Irish decades ago. Stop trying to deflect the real issue. The USA has a gun fukkking problem. You won't admit it because you don't give a fukk.

Why did the op post 8 BLACK people killed this weekend AND NOT POST the 70 MILITARY VETS that killed themselves this weekend? You dumb fukks keep trying to make it a racial, man, boy, school, gang, mental health, etc., issue when the real problem is TOO MANY DAMN GUNS.

Unfortunately, too many dumb fukks in this country. More guns + more dumb fukks = more gun violence.

and the kicker is that the dumb fukks WANT MORE GUNS in the hands of other dumb fukks. They will fight you to the end for some other dumb fukk to get a gun.

If you already have a gun, good for you BUT how dumb must you be to want all the other dumb fukks around you to have a gun? The people in this country are dumb fukkk stupid.

Most people don’t know for themselves what Chicago gun laws are

they heard strictest laws ten years ago and lemmings still parrot that

someone tell me how Chicago gun laws are sooo strict?

how do they compare to NYC and LA?

[TeddyB]

They aren’t white and it’s not schools so nobody gives a fukk...that’s reality today

I care Booya, I live just south of the south side and drive and work in those neighborhoods all the time. I'm gonna make a difference. But you are right Booya, nobody in general cares.

BLACK LIVES MATTER

[HockeyRocks]

At least eight people have been killed and 25 others wounded in shootings across Chicago since Friday at midnight, police said.

Last year over the entire Memorial Day weekend, seven people were killed and 45 others were hurt.

A 15-year-old boy is among the wounded after being shot in his back and hips. Police said he was shot just after 11 p.m. Sunday night in the 1800-block of West Cullerton Street.

The boy was walking towards a car when a dark minivan pulled up and someone inside shouted a gang-related slogan before firing shots. No one is in custody.

Investigators said China Marie Lyons- Upshaw, was in her bedroom in the 800-block of East 49th Street when she was shot in the chest. She and another man were playing with a gun when it hit the ground and went off.

Sunday, that man, turned himself in to police, accompanied by his mother and crisis responder Andrew Holmes.

"He was very emotional, crying on and off. He's very heartbroken about it, emotional, and he just didn't want to run away from it," Holmes said.

Meanwhile, a young mother was shot and killed over the weekend on her doorstep while she was celebrating her 2-year-old's birthday. Bobbieana Lyons, 20, was hit by stray bullets near 76th and Halsted streets.

And at around 1 a.m. Monday on the West Side, two men got into a fight inside a car near Flournoy Street and Laramie Avenue. They got out, then one man pulled out a gun shooting a 31-year-old man twice in the chest and once in the head. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police are trying to curb gun violence this holiday weekend with 1,300 extra officers on patrol and help from state and federal partners. But the statistics so far are hard painting a very violent picture.

JJ,

Many other American cities have higher murder rates than Chicago...Why do you always focus on just Chicago??

[JMobile]

You'd have to have grown up there to like it.. in the winter

Too much traffic for me now- When I get in my car, I like to move

Traffic in LA county is the worst.

[El Terrible]

Traffic in LA county is the worst.

are you bragging?

"Hey, my nieghborhood sucks worse than yours!"

Ok, you win

[JIBBBY]

Traffic in LA county is the worst.

THE WORST!!! I don't even drive much anymore.. 10 and 405 freeways are a mess all day everyday...

Gas is the most expensive in California as well.. Scooters, motorcycles, bicycles are quickly becoming the way to get around in LA..

I dread trying to go to Dodger Stadium or the Staples Center these days.. It's a nightmare in traffic for me to get even to the Hollywood Bowl from the beach where I live. Gotta head out 3 hours earlier in traffic to go 20 miles to see a game these days starting at 7pm..

USA has a gun fukkking problem. You won't admit it because you don't give a fukk. Why did the op post 8 BLACK people killed this weekend AND NOT POST the 70 MILITARY VETS that killed themselves this weekend? You dumb fukks keep trying to make it a racial, man, boy, school, gang, mental health, etc., issue when the real problem is TOO MANY DAMN GUNS.

70 Military deaths by suicide is still only double digits. Like only 20 a day or so, right?

fukk, we are the greatest nation in the world where anything less than a couple hun a day
don`t mean shit

my apologies to the dead and suffering that might see me as making a joke at their expense,
that is not my intention

[Chi_archie]

Murders trending way down this year in Chicago

also no police related killings this year in chicago thus far, typically there are double digits.


gotta give credit to the men and women in blue here in Chi town for the job they've done over the past 12-18 months.

social media beefing, elimination of huge CHA public housing like Cabrini green, lack of gang unity have led to a recent uptick in violent crime after decades long declines since the murder highs of the 90's

but Chicago Police have adjusted and have done alot more grass roots community policing and connecting with the people in the areas where 1% of the animal thugs hold the other good folk hostage essentially.

Most people don’t know for themselves what Chicago gun laws are

they heard strictest laws ten years ago and lemmings still parrot that

someone tell me how Chicago gun laws are sooo strict?

how do they compare to NYC and LA?

there are only 5 states that don't allow a visible licensed handgun, illinois is one

they were the last state to allow concealed carry

they still don't recognize out-of-state concealed carry permits

have to be 21 to have a gun in chicago, have an owner id card, and go through training course

so archie is right they aren't necessarily the strictest any more but they are pretty close to the strictest

[FullStrength]

I live in Chgo and grew up here. All of these murders and shootings are almost always in the ghettos. That's been going on for my entire life Most of our neighborhoods aren't affected by this. Until it reaches the good neighborhoods, we really don't care what they do to each other.

[FullStrength]

We don't.

[FullStrength]

Amazing how a thread on SBR about Chicago killings bring out the racists that consider themselves experts on black on black crime.....Like they really give a shyte...

[Chi_archie]

[BigDofBA]

When people think of Chicago this stuff doesn’t happen in any nice area or even downtown these are in real pit holes

I do feel bad for the good people in that ghetto that can’t get out

Sure there’s plenty

I feel safer when I visit Chicago than I do when I visit New York.

I really like Chicago. Cool city. The tourist areas are pretty safe.

Chicago is a war zone
