Chicago Homicides hit 20 year high as gun violence spikes

HFNY

Non-justified police killings are obviously an issue but shouldn't there be a greater focus on the much bigger problem of civilians killing civilians? It's like trying to bail water in a boat when there is a gaping hole in the bottom.

FIX THE HOLE FIRST!!!111!!!!@!@!!!!!!!!!!!!

So you're advocating for massive national gun restrictions?

You can't ask your citizens to not murder each other when your police are murdering them.

I was taught that it never hurts to ask

Not sure how you concluded that.

Decades of Big Government Dem policies have really hurt Chicago and Illinois. Both have substantial pension problems and since Chicago is paying so much to retired government workers (including some cops), they don't have the money to hire more police and / or attempt to bring economic development to the South Side.

It's because people go to gun shows in Indiana and load up a van with weapons and then sell them out of the back of van to kids in Chicago.

I'm hearing in many places in Chicago, guns vans are easier to find & buy from than ice cream trucks.

If you'd prefer, you can't expect your citizens to not murder each other when the police are murdering them.

Thou shalt not murder

Unless it's every living thing on earth but Moses and some animals he could round up.

Or you're own son.

It was all part of God's plan.

If he planned on murdering people he probably shouldn't have made a rule against it.

Define "murder"

So the cops started it all the killing in Chicago? Christ, APAG. I knew we didn't agree on much, but you're in Hondo territory now.

At least blame the stupid corrupt white asshole Mayor for the worsening state of affairs since he took control.

How do you expect a citizen to murder someone that a Cop already shot????


BS take btw. More black lives are taken in a weeknight in Chicago by other "citizens" than the Cops have taken all year long thoughout most of the country.

Keep swallowing that gizzz though.

Clearly We need more sensible Gun van laws.

The police didn't start it. Slavery did.
