Rye Miles #13621 Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 On ABC Nightly news tonight the info babe talked about Turkey and how terrible it is there. 350 people killed in terrorist attacks this year! Hmmm....does she know that Chicago had more than twice that many??? What a joke! Quote
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Turkey had more murders than that. Just 350 attributed to terrorists. Quote
Badlands Bob #61228 Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Only 762, up 57% from last year... We don't need to say anything, just information only.... Texas Lizard 762 is just the number they found. The "missing person" cases are not calculated into that number. No body, no murder. Quote
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 and if the body comes up somewhere downriver, "not my problem." Quote
Warden Callaway Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Mary lived her childhood years in farm country north of Rockford Illinois. Lots of old stories about farmers finding bodies in corn fields. Quote

Just 350 attributed to terrorists. https://www.osac.gov/pages/ContentReportDetails.aspx?cid=19383 Still safer than Chicago!! Even though this shows 2015 stats, I believe 2016 stats are about the same! Edited January 2, 2017 by Rye Miles #13621 Quote
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 yeah, pi**er about turkey is the "honor killings" such as baby killed by grandmother because it was born out of wedlock. whole family sentenced to life in prison more because they are Kurds than anything else. Quote
Trailrider #896 Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 I don't have the figures in front of me right now, but I believe you were "safer" in Afghanistan than in some of the neighborhoods on the South and West Sides of Chicago! And, of course, the anti's will try to blame it on "the availability of guns"! Quote

Subdeacon Joe Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/01/01/1-chicagos-bloodiest-years-ends-with-762-homicides.html The city of Chicago recorded 762 homicides in 2016 — an average of two murders per day, the most killings in the city for two decades and more than New York and Los Angeles combined. The nation's third largest city also saw 1,100 more shooting incidents than it did in 2015, according to statistics released by the Chicago Police Department that underlined a story of bloodshed that has put Chicago at the center of a national dialogue about gun violence. The numbers released Sunday are staggering, even for those following the steady news accounts of weekends ending with dozens of shootings and monthly death tolls that hadn't been seen in years. The increase in 2016 homicides compared to 2015, when 485 were reported, is the largest spike in 60 years. Police and city officials have lamented the flood of illegal guns into the city, and the crime statistics appeared to support their claims: Police recovered 8,300 illegal guns in 2015, a 20 percent from the previous year.

Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 That is the way Chicago shortens up the welfare rolls................... And extends the voter registration. And as for " Police recovered 8,300 illegal guns in 2015, a 20 percent from the previous year", ALL guns there are illegal, so.... Quote
Subdeacon Joe Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Time to reopen Camp Douglas. For the aldermen and the Lord High Mayor? Quote
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 For the aldermen and the Lord High Mayor? The Lord High Mayor has/had high connections. Quote
Attica Jack #23953 Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 When I worked the DPD, and Detroit was homicide capital for a couple of years in a row, the city fathers decided to get the homicide rate down. What they did, was to have our homicide section list all deaths as suicide until proven other wise. On my weekly visit to the Wayne County morgue......I saw a whole lot of people that were really determined to kill them selves. One that comes to mind was a black guy, bound in barbed wire, privates burned off, shot in the back of the head and found in a sewer.................toe tag. SUICIDE. Quote
Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Last Sunday "60 Minutes" did a piece on Chicago's rise in the murder rate and the lowering of police actions. Cops had found out they can be personally sued, in addition to being hung out to dry by the mayor and city elders. The cops are just responding to 911 calls now. Personally, I don't blame the Chicago cops. Quote

South Africa made it a crime to report crime statistics. If you rented a car you were advised not to stop for redlights at night. Quote
Badlands Bob #61228 Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 I think Birdgun nailed a big part of the problem. I can't imagine trying to police in that environment. Quote
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 I agree with him also. It is from the top down. Elected officials are the ones, I feel, that are to blame for lack of positive actions. Quote
Trailrider #896 Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 I was born and raised in Chicago, and lived there until I went away to college and then the Air Force. Back in the 1940's and '50's there were certain neighborhoods where it wasn't a good idea to go. But until 1954, when we move to a northern suburb, the South Side wasn't bad at all. Mostly blue collar with a few professional people living there. Now, sadly, it's a freefire zone! Shame! Quote
