Indiana setting local homicide records year-after-year.

[injb]

No. There's a lot of poor, uneducated, unemployed folks from broken homes who aren't out shooting at each other. It's a culture issue. Dope gangs have a culture, but so do the "you can't punk me" / "I can't resolve conflict without violence" losers.

Some dummy under arrest tried to convince me to take him out of handcuffs and fight him "one on one" with the argument my kids wouldn't respect me if I didn't. Think about that world view. Add in guns, smoking spice, and an argument over who's turn it is to use the good X-box controller, and you've got Murder.

Lol admit it...you asked him if he wanted a shot at the title:

2 killed on east side marks 2018 as city's bloodiest year

I knew we'd there late last month.

That smell?

It's not Joe's stinky shoes. It's the stench of bodies in the street.

 

[VUPDblue]

Nah, we are pretty good at removing the bodies.

 

[T.Lex]

Nah, we are pretty good at removing the bodies.

Practice makes perfect.

Mayor Hogsett needs to be corrected in public and on the record. It is not gun violence, it is people violence! Guns don’t jump up and shoot people. People shoot people you idiot!

You think he actually cares? These murders are useful to him. Much easier to push thru big-government policies with the boogey-man of violence hanging over everyone's heads. You think he could push his agenda if the city was happy and peaceful?

In order to protect us little defenseless lambs from the big bad wolf of "gun violence", we need more taxes, more government, more cops, more laws, and much much less freedom.

Thirteen people shot in Indy from Wednesday to Friday and the number is likely to go up as we get to Friday night. We're giving Chicago a run for the title.
I'm pretty certain Indy will set another homicide record this year with 10 days left.

 

[VUPDblue]

I'm predicting at least one Christmas Eve / Christmas Day killin'

Shootings are up in South Bend too. If they aren't shooting at each other they are stabbing each other. I think it's mostly over drugs and gang territories. Lots of shootings in the same areas of town.

South Bend. A wannabe Chicago. Mayor Pete has a book and he says we're a model for America. Yeah. Sure.

This is his last term. He is not running again. I think he is smart enough to know he would not win a third term. I figure the liberals will nominate a woman or someone that identify's as one.

It is wishful thinking to think a republican will ever win in the Bend. Way too much cronyism. Although 20 years ago I wouldn't have guess South Bend was progressive enough to elect a homosexual for mayor.

Chances are good that both the killer and the kill-ie are on Santa's naughty list.

Chicago is far from the worst, and you are correct. Indi is not far behind Chicago.

That is per capita though. Look at solid numbers and you'll see the picture. They don't have 24 murders. They have over 500 murders.

Agreed, Per capita is a great way To fudge with the numbers.

We'll do better as the chief of IMPD and the Mayor take more walks in "the hood".

We are an over flow for Chicago.
