Chicago now murder capital of U.S., FBI says

Yeah, I had the opportunity to buy in HP about 7 years ago on the TIF, I took a pass, everyone was saying it was the next Bucktown...Glad I dodged that bullet (pun might have been intended...)

Well we may end up under the Total Shootings for 2012.....but not by much. So shootings are generally averaging around the same.

You forgot to add 'under Democrat leadership'.

Yes, because clearly when street gangs fight it out, they are doing so under orders from Democrats. These are actually the people who are voting. :roll:
 
Chicago, LA, Detroit, DC, Miami, Boston, Philly........

It's no coincidence that the most dangerous and poorly run cities in the nation are also the bluest.

While I realize that it's every conservative's job to blame everything bad that ever happens on the Democratic Party ...

Democrats tend to get elected in urban areas.

Urban areas tend to be more violent than rural areas.

Correlation =/= causation.

Yeah.....that's what happens due to the Bangers becoming community Activists. Like the Vice Lords and the Blackstone who also received grants from the Feds and the State. Its not hard to find with history.

Goes as far back as Capone.....truthfully.

Then there is History......and the facts. Just like with Jeff Fort here.....also Friend and Protector of Jesse Jackson.

Jeff Fort is a criminal born on February 20, 1947 in Aberdeen, Mississippi. He founded and led the Chicago gang called the Blackstone Rangers that later became Black P. Stone Nation. In 1972, Fort was convicted for misuse of federal funds for using grant money to pay gang members versus his stated intent to rehabilitate them. In prison he converted to Islam, and upon his release in 1976 he formed the El Rukn group to peddle drugs. Back in jail, he attempted to trade arms for money with the Libyan government in 1987 and was sentenced to 80 years in prison.

With the help of local minister Reverend John Fry, Fort learned how to garner financial support from public agencies and philanthropists. Charities such as the Ford Foundation and the Kettering Foundation donated money to the P. Stone Nation, who had by then formed a faux political charter under the name The Woodlawn Organization. The Woodlawn Organization, or T.W.O.

Fort also managed to obtain a $1 million federal grant from the Office of Economic Opportunity by claiming that he would use the money to teach job skills to gang members. Fort instead used the money to "pay" his gang members a salary that would, in turn, be given directly back to Fort.....snip~
