OT: Chicago: Murder Capital of the United States

I thought I'd share an interesting website about the violence epidemic in Chicago, since it gets minimal coverage in the national news. This guy puts together all kinds of infographics and statistics about shootings and homicides in Chicago...even tracking how many of the shootings were delivered to victims' private parts.

Less than eight full days into June and there have already been 89 shootings and 17 homicides. When you have a city run by Democrats for the last 85 years, this is what happens.

Come on. The high murder rate in Chicago is the result of many factors. Most large cities have crime problems and most large cities are run by Democrats, but these things are not cause and effect. (And let me add that I worked in Chicago for many years and I have close relatives that live in Chicago. I know the city pretty well. And I do not like Rahm Emanuel or the Daleys or the other corrupt politicians who have run the city for so long.)
There is little evidence Richard J. Daley was specifically biased against individual Blacks, he clearly courted their votes <sometimes for decades after they died> and established a close connection with Black Chicago community leaders, but his actions created the "welfare ghettos" of the Southside where Black on Black murders are the highest in the nation. It is worth noting that many of the Chicago Black leaders have "interesting" financial ties to the Daley mob, and several Black leaders (almost all who opposed any Daley agenda item) found themselves convicted of receiving bribes or other financial improprieties.
It was Mayor Daley who established community bosses and created the local concept of community organizers (think Obama) as political tools of the Daley mob. It was Mayor Daley who intentionally understaffed police stations in or near housing projects and refused to allow any police action to reduce crimes in the "projects." Although Richard J. is long dead, and his son Richard M. is no longer mayor, the Daley mob still runs Chicago. Rahm and Obama are both long time associates in the Daley mob. Rahm's problems are mostly because he is not as capable a criminal as the Daleys.
The clearly criminal organization that is the Chicago Democrat party machine (Daley Mob) is strongly supported by liberal democrats. The 70 year history of "social reform," liberal influence, one party politics and the clear history of vote buying, long dead voters still voting Democrat, 100% democrat votes from many polling places and registration drives (ACORN) that sign up thousands of voters in parts of Chicago where only 100s of people live, continues to dominate Chicago.
So, larryfisherman, the murders in Chicago ARE about politics, and "liberals." At least the criminal organization, the Daley mob, claiming to be liberal democrat - IS the reason Chicago sees 500 - or more - young black males murdered every year and thousands more shot, knifed or beaten.
Most of the population is conservative, with the exception of these highly populated metro/urban areas dictating the national scene. Who wants all that crap that goes along with big city life and piece of shit Politics? Smh.
Chicago is not a liberal city. It is a democrat party city. It is a congressional black caucus city. The democrat machine and minority interest groups run everything (except the fourth ward-the mob runs that). Decent whitevfolk will continue to flee and the city will decline until it is no different from Memphis or St. Louis. Kind of a shame. I still want to love Sweet Home Chicago.

According to statistics compiled by the City of Chicago and by the FBI, the murder rate in Chicago HAS NOT changed significantly since the Supreme Court decision that asserted the Chicago weapons ban violated the 2nd Amendment. Today, the gangs and dealers are still killing each other (and anyone else who happens to be nearby) in the same areas. The only difference is that now some of the weapons used are ones sold by the Justice Department to Mexican drug dealers in "Fast & Furious."

And yes, the decision on Peruta built on the Supreme Court ruling of Heller vs. District of Columbia. Even Antoine Scalia himself noted that while the public had the right to keep guns, the right was not absolute- there were historic examples of restrictions against concealed carry in public.
I agree that it is hard to justify someone owning an assault rifle, submachine gun, or automatic weapon. There are also reasonable arguments to be made concerning mental health and background checks; but those can be easily manipulated to deny everyone ownership rights. the plain fact of the matter is that there are plenty of instances of lawful concealed carry holders using their handguns to stop crimes and prevent murders. Imagine if a concealed carry holder had been watching The Dark Knight Rises in Aurora Colorado, or attending the office party in San Bernardino CA, working at Charlie Hebdo, or outside the Naval Recruiting station in TX. Hell, with the Naval Recruiter, the commissioned officers should have been allowed to wear their sidearm as part of the uniform.
