Well as winter exits, good killing weather isn't quite upon the windy city just yet...but that ain't slowin' down the Boyz.

213 dead as of yesterday. So far in May alone they've produced a banner 5 body day, THREE 4 body days, and dropped 3 body's twice!
Thats 24 confirmed dead in only 10 days.

At this rate May will easily brush aside previous months with over 70 dead...of course it won't be easy to maintain this pace, bullets (and targets) must surely be in short supply by now?

RAAAACIST!!!!!

Lol.

Well, you know it's the po-po that are racist, according to BLM and our own 2chill. I guess this is what happens when cops get crucified for trying to do their jobs?

As long as the gangstas dont drop an unacceptable number of civilians, why wouldn't the police just let them kill each other?

Can you imagine being a homicide investigator in the south side? They likely can't even respond to all the crime scenes, let alone solve anything...there's just too many shootings to handle.

Reading through the list it shows many were not gang involved but victims of drive byes and stray shots, or hit in vehicles driving along. "9" held sideways are not very accurate.:rolleyes

I'd sooner be on an ISIS list than drive through south Chicago....:yikes

With a bull's-eye painted on her ass to draw fire?

That would be quite a large Bull's Eye......Not sure how much vital tissue in that area either. To do max damage, one would better light her on fire. Fat bitch would burn long and hot.:yikes:skull

You are correct Tex.
When compared to earlier years and months, the demo is definitely changing.

How many killed by the damn Police? 200? 210?




We really need to do something about these cops, maybe start an organization that blocks freeways and screams at political candidates.

That will fix those damn cops!

Not even close.

In 2015 Chicago police shot 22 people, resulting in 8 fatalities. This was actually a reduction from 2014 when 37 people were shot by police, with 16 fatalities.
Read here.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/...police-shootings-2015-met-20160101-story.html

All of this is a mere drop in the bucket when compared to the all out carnage happening on the street, a single weekend can easily yield more bodies than the cops produce all year long...as the last 10 days easily proves.

From 2010 -2014 Chicago cops logged 70 bodies.
http://www.bettergov.org/news/fatal-shootings-by-chicago-police-tops-among-biggest-us-cities

This led the field in 10 similar sized cities, according to the above link.
Here is the staggering truth...if you add ALL 10 CITIES up for that 5 year span, the number of bodies dropped by police all in 10 cities COMBINED is less than a single years body count on the south side...
Now THAT is perspective in my book.

That's RACIST garbage, if 220 people were killed in Chicago already it has to be the police. Just who else could it possibly be?

The exact same number of people have been killed on the street in the last 10 days than the police killed in the last 2 years combined... But todays number isn't final yet...I have faith the Boyz will drop another one or two before midnight...they've had FOUR days in the last 10 days that saw 4 bodies a day.
Damn them racist cops!!!

Jahmal Cole, 32, grew up in the city of North Chicago, about 45 miles from Chicago's South Side. But in 2007, he moved to the Chatham neighborhood on the South Side, one of the toughest, to help young kids most at risk of falling prey to gangs and drugs.

His mother grew up on the West Side in Austin, a neighborhood that had almost 50 murders in 2015.

One of Chicago's biggest problems, he says, is not only segregation by color, but also by resources and opportunities.
"I think that we've developed a mentality in Chicago -- we see ourselves part of the North Side, South Side," Cole says.

If they tried to learn from others, or immerse themselves in other opportunities, Cole believes lives could be changed. His nonprofit organization, My Block, My Hood, My City, is dedicated to providing young people with opportunities to see things they don't even know exist.

"They don't know what's available," he adds. "They don't know the museum is open Tuesday nights. Many of these kids have never even seen the lakefront in their entire life."

Many will never see a lifestyle different from one where squad cars are part of the norm and the constant hovering of police helicopters is more known than a YMCA. It's a way of life he views as "traumatizing" to the children and part of a cycle he is trying to break.
But he knows there isn't one easy fix.

"I don't think there's a program a policy or a resolution that's going to solve violence in Chicago," Cole says.
He believes many teens and residents suffer from what he calls "poverty of imagination." Cole hopes to bring new experiences to one child at a time and hopes that will make a difference.

It's hard for longtime community pastor Ira Acree to watch. He has been serving the Austin community on Chicago's West Side for 26 years.
Acree, like Gabb, believes the struggling economy in many communities is a big part of the problem.

"All of the violence is rooted in the illegal drug economy," Acree says. "Many guys have allowed their economic desperation to cause them to resort to these measures. The economy is terrible, especially in African-American neighborhoods."

It's hard for longtime community pastor Ira Acree to watch. He has been serving the Austin community on Chicago's West Side for 26 years.
Acree says the violence is the worst he's seen since the 1990s, and he'd like to see a state of emergency declared for wide areas of the city by President Barack Obama, who called Chicago home for so many years.

"I'm hoping that some money is invested in some job creation. We bailed out Wall Street, why not bail out Main Street? It would make a world of difference," Acree says.

Black and Unarmed: Behind the Numbers
What the Black Lives Matter movement misses about those police shootings.
By HEATHER MACDONALD
02.08.2016
themarshallproject.org



For the last year or so, the Washington Post has been gathering data on fatal police shootings of civilians. Its database for 2015 is now complete. Commentators have taken the Post?s data as evidence that the police are gunning down unarmed blacks out of implicit bias. But a close examination of the Post?s findings presents a more complicated picture of policing and casts doubt on the notion that these shootings were driven by race.

The Post began its police shootings project in response to the 2014 killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, a death that triggered days of rioting, the assassination of two New York City police officers, and a surge of support for the Black Lives Matter protest movement. Federal tallies of lethal police shootings are notoriously incomplete; the Post sought to correct that lacuna by searching news sites and other information sources for reports of officer involved homicides. The results: As of Jan. 15, the Post had documented 987 victims of fatal police shootings in 2015, about twice the number historically recorded by federal agencies. Whites were 50 percent of those victims, and blacks were 26 percent. By comparison, whites are 62 percent of the U.S. population, and blacks, 13 percent. The ensuing debate has largely centered on whether the disproportionate number of black deaths was a result of police racism or the relatively high rate of crime in black neighborhoods, which brings black men into more frequent, and more fraught, encounters with the police.

Sorry Chill, but drug dealing and drug dealers pay FAR more than any job the gov can create...except for politics. The culture you describe is not created by those trying to contain it. Money isn't going to help, money is the cause. Drug dealers are creating 1 block empires, and killing and being killed to do it. These young gangsters don't want some stupid job, they want fast easy cash and street credit for as long as they can stay alive.

Obama isn't going to do anything about it. He could give a fuck unless there is a anti cop headline.
He doesn't care about any of that or the people caught in the crossfire.

The only way out is to just leave. That's what I did.

While I applaud the effort of those who are truly trying to make things better, we both know the staggering odds they are up against.
You are involved, I know that you see what happens when trying to convince a kid that $10 an hour working for the man is a better life than $1000 a week slinging...

Your messiah killed job creation in this country. Not only that he imported 10's of thousands more illegals to take even more jobs from inner city youth...
You still kneel at his alter because of the color of his skin.

And also:

For the last decade, Republicans have fought to keep, and even expand, corporate tax loopholes that reward outsourcing of American jobs and hurt American families and the economy. President Obama noted in 2010, ?Over the last four years alone, Republicans in the House voted 11 times to continue rewarding corporations that create jobs and profits overseas ? a policy that costs taxpayers billions of dollars every year.


Since taking control of the House in 2011, Republicans have voted:

For the GOP Job Outsourcers’ Bill of Rights that makes it easier for corporations to send American jobs overseas and weakens the rights of middle class workers – allowing employers to relocate their operations to punish employees for exercising their rights to organize, demand better benefits and safer working conditions, and ensure a full day’s pay for an honest day’s work. [Vote 711, 9/15/11, AFL-CIO]

Against the Democratic budget that rewards companies that choose to invest in or bring back jobs to America with a 20 percent tax credit, eliminates tax advantages for companies moving jobs overseas, as proposed by President Obama, and closes loopholes that allow businesses to avoid taxes by sheltering earnings in foreign tax havens. [Vote 150, 3/29/12]

Against considering the Bring Jobs Home Act – the President’s proposal to reward companies that choose to invest in or bring back jobs to America with a 20 percent tax credit, and to eliminate tax advantages for companies moving jobs overseas. [The Record, Vote 456, 7/10/12]
Against stopping businesses that outsource American jobs from receiving a 20 percent business tax deduction. [Times Republican, Vote 176, 4/19/12]
Against stopping companies that ship jobs overseas from taking advantage of the repeal of the medical device tax. [Vote 360, 6/7/12]
Against ending government contracts that reward corporations that ship American jobs overseas. [Release, Vote 19, 1/25/11]

Against considering the U.S. Call Center Worker and Consumer Protection Act to help revitalize a U.S. call center industry that has lost over 500,000 jobs just in the past six years. The measure includes incentives to reduce outsourcing by requiring call centers to notify the Secretary of Labor at least 120 days before relocating outside of the U.S., and giving preference in contracts to employers who keep their call centers at home. [Paramus Post,Vote 381, 6/19/12]

Against a measure that places a priority on keeping jobs in America, protecting the authority of the National Labor Relations Board to order an employer to maintain or restore jobs in the U.S. that would otherwise be outsourced to a foreign country. [Vote 710, 9/15/11]

Against a measure to discourage outsourcing by denying the underlying bill’s pro-corporation election rules for companies that ship American jobs overseas and leveling the playing field for workers in union elections. [Vote 868, 11/30/11]

Against an effort to require work performed under intelligence contracts be first provided to U.S. companies and workers, and not outsourced to foreign-owned companies. [Release, Vote 300, 5/31/12]

Against a measure to encourage that oil and gas leases be awarded to companies that avoid outsourcing American jobs and that use U.S.-made materials. [Release, Vote 409, 6/21/12]

Against a measure to ensure that mining companies that receive American permits for mineral exploration not outsource American jobs and make a good faith effort to purchase American mining equipment. [Release, Vote 467, 7/12/12]

Against a measure to help close overseas tax havens by giving the Treasury Department greater powers to investigate offshore tax abuses and crack down on offenders and banks that aid them, which could reduce the deficit by as much as nearly $1 billion. [Vote 344, 6/6/12]

I agree 100% with the part about exposing young people to things that are just around the way.

They are immersed in a culture that had boundaries measured in city blocks, and can not comprehend that life exists just beyond the confines of their corners.

I also realize and agree that not all young people want to exist in that culture.

The Dems that have run Chicago into the dirt have done nothing positive to change anything.
It is my belief that the best chance of helping young men escape that world is to show them what exists beyond the DMZ.
Those with true desire to escape will leave and find a way to make it.
It is also my belief that any gov created job is more or less a lateral move on the dependency ladder, especially in Chicago...albeit safer perhaps.

Here's the thing.
The drug money is the constant. It beckons, it's right there like a carrot. It's the easiest and best paying option.
It can't be fought with politics, actually quite the opposite as your politics and BLM has villianized the police.
