Sadly, that is a well-designed site that lays the information right out there (sadly in that it is necessary).

Interesting stat for Mother's Day over the past 5 years:

Final Shoot-o-Rahm-a Tally: 5 killed, 21 wounded
2017 weekend tally: 7 killed, 16 wounded
2016 weekend tally: 9 killed, 17 wounded
2015 weekend tally: 2 killed, 47 wounded
2014 weekend tally: 7 killed, 24 wounded

Another fun little tidbit about Chicago: The two-year-old budget crisis that started in 2015 shut down the violence interruption program in Chicago, where ex-gang member and other activists were investigating shootings themselves and trying to convince people not to retaliate and create more shootings. It was showing promise in Chicago, but got de-funded by the state, and Rahm & Co wouldn't pick up paying for it because it didn't fit the gun control agenda. Lo and behold, shootings are up this year and last.

Please continue. . .

Many Cease Fire workers turned out to be informants letting gang members know about police activity. Many others were found to still be active gang members. the leader of Cease Fire Tito Hardaman who claims to no longer have gang ties was arrested for beating up his girlfriend. In short it was a great program to funnel taxpayer money into gangs and keep them one step ahead of the police.

Chicago is a failed city state.

I know its been said countless times but,
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Well reducing and preventing gun violence by way of ever stricter gun control is as extreme an
example of this saying as I am personally aware of as they are doing the EXACT same thing the EXACT same way for DECADES now and have achieved the SAME EXACT results.

All we are seeing is Osama Bin Emanuel towing the company line in blaming inanimate objects for the completely horrid and reprehensible behavior of a very small percentage of an otherwise well
behaved populous that the actual blame for this continued barbarism is to be found in himself and his fellow DemacRats who by malice of forethought created the very inner city carnage they damn
well know they did but refuse to accept the blame for and choose instead to blame guns, gun owners and the 2nd amendment for, instead of their ruinous social welfare entitlement programs that
resulted in what is known to day as the inner city drug war zones of America, because that IS WHAT the inner cities of Chicago, Gary, LA. NYC and so on and so on have become literal dug war
zones that are actually as dangerous as if not more so than Iraq or Afghanistan is to our beloved combat troops.

All this horror and slaughter of human kind who's sole purpose was to ensure the demacRats a guaranteed permanent forever voting base. And the worse part about all this is it will
NEVER, EVER, EVER change, EVER as no politician on earth will ever have the guts to call the situation for what it is, accept the blame and pass laws that will actually have a chance
at solving this mess. The same politicians who would rather ban guns than do ANYTHING to stop the billions of dollars worth of illegal drugs that poor into this country mostly across our wide open
borders buy the 1000's of tons every year and are the real cause for 90%+ of the murders and gun violence in America today.

I recently read a study that of the +/- 160 odd countries that make up the world at least 108 have a higher rate of violent crime than America, and the study went on to cite if you were to remove the worst most violent American cities from our ranking, the cities that make up but a fraction of our overall population America drops down to the bottom 10% LEAST violent countries in the world.

And what stuck me the most shocking as the countries with the HIGHEST rates of murder and gun violence also have MUCH, MUCH stricter gun control laws than America and
among the strictest gun control laws in what one would loosely term a reasonably free country.

Yep the single most horribly fantastic example of the definition of insanity in man kinds history.

It's just the "Chicago Way "

And yet, they'll blame guns.

Chiraq is virtually a lost cause as far as criminality, gang violence, drug dealing and general lawlessness is concerned so long as the Democratic Libtards like Rahm and Madigan are the ruling duo. The fact that there even exists revolving door “Justice” where criminals have no fear of the justice system confirms that is the de facto rule of the land and further confirms there is little to no real hope of change in Chiraq.

I can't help but not care anymore.
I almost feel bad but not quite. I did stub my toe earlier so that could be it.

The spin will be they are better than the last 2 years. There is an election coming up......Rahm is squirming. His election team is searching cemeteries for new names and now that he has openly advertised Chicago as a sanctuary city - the has all those new people to vote for him. Sort of reminds me of the old mayor Daley in the sixties when busloads were brought in.

If we could only build a wall around the Chicago Metro to contain it there. Even a fence. But they have closed down a lot of Section 8 in Chiraq, and shipped people out to other smaller IL cities Like Danville, and over the last dozen years or so, it has not been good. Not at all. These stats are pretty bad in a town of 30K.... https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/il/danville/crime 1 in 17 chance of property crime. 1 in 63 for violent crime.
