Shootings up 49% in November in Gun-Free Zone of Chicago

Mother mourns another son lost to gunfire

Thelma Smith was visiting her mother's South Side home Friday night to talk about a birthday party in memory of her son, Samuel Clay, 25, who was shot and killed in April.

After several shots rang out on the next block, Smith rushed over and discovered to her horror that another son, William Lee Martin, 30, had been slain.

The father of six became the latest sad statistic as a violent November came to an end. Shootings jumped to 192 for the month, up 49 percent from 129 a year earlier, according to Police Department records.

They do not get it. Keeping legal guns out of the zone does not stop the thugs and crooks from having them. It just keeps a lawfull citizen form being able to defend their selfs and their house and family if needed.

If a gang banger pulls a gun there he is 99% sure the other persons will be un armed and they can do what they want.

Their argument will be that the surrounding areas have guns and supply them to the criminals.... If only the whole state...nay...they whole nation were without guns...then Chicaca would be safe.

Well that does note work...... I live on an island that it is nearly impossible to legally get a gun. You can not fly in with one legally. Well every crook has them and we have the highest murder rate wit and without guns. Go figure..... Gun control is working really well. They are 98% sure when they pull a gun that you will not have one.

Damn! Hey Chicago...
 

It's a damn shame that it's safer in Afghanistan than the streets of Chicago yet, folks looking for employment will not take a job OCONUS; immigrants do it all the time!:eek::confused:

It is most unfortunate for those of us who live in IL far from Chicago yet still have to adhere to their ridiculous rules about firearms, FOID cards, and concealed carry. Thanks for ruining the rest of the state Chicago.

If you listen to our beloved mayor, rahmbo, aka 9.5 aka tiny dancer, the rest of the nation is just "wrong headed". My brothers in blue and I wish for CCW but the tiny dancer believes the citizens should not have the right to defend themselves. Apparently the constitution doesn't mean much to him.

I giggle every time I hear that. Do you listen to Bruce and Dan?

He is a tool. I don't know how they justify the bans when statistics constantly prove them wrong.

Tiny Dancer: You don't need the second amendment, he'll take care of you.
 

Sorry, I don't listen to the talk shows. There are those over at the second city cop blog that have a unique way of articulating their disdain for him. I've met Rahm, way back before he was chief of staff for Daley. Even then he struck me as weasel not to be trusted.

For those not familiar with Chicago, please do not assume we are all flaming pain in the ass liberals. As a matter of fact, my favorite bumper stickers came from Mark LaRue.

Well you might as well follow their rules since you gotta pay all their taxes! The FOID cards are freaking stupid as hell! But at least Pat Q, Dicky D, Ms Madigan and Rahm will know where the guns are when they want to make them illegal!

BTW I think the anti-gun biggot at 0:38 may have brain damage. Now I plan on giveing my Glock 19 to my brother who lives near Chitcago for his 21st B-Day. Not because I'm a good Big Brother...but just to tick the liberals in my family off. Plus I can't take it to Basic.

Chicago police backtrack after confirming 500th homicide
 

500 hundred murders in "Gun Free" Chicago!!!!!! Well done Chicago!



Chicago police backtrack after confirming 500th homicide

By Jeremy Gorner and Peter NickeasTribune reporters

Hours after Chicago police listed the shooting death of a West Side man as the city’s 500th homicide of the year, the department backtracked and said the city has yet to reach the grim milestone.

Superintendent Garry McCarthy had told the Tribune Thursday afternoon that the homicide count stood at 499. Hours later, Nathaniel T. Jackson, 40, was gunned down outside a store in the Austin neighborhood and the department confirmed Friday morning that his death was the 500th homicide.

But then the department issued a statement calling reports of the tally inaccurate, saying the number remained at 499. Asked for clarification, a spokeswoman for the superintendent said one of the homicide cases from earlier this week has been reclassified as a death investigation.

Talk about the definition of "is". How about splitting the hairs a little finer "Tiny Dancer"?

I'm origionally from the Chicago area. The problem with Chicago is most of it's inhabitants are unreasonable and are very anti-gun and that's the law abiding ones. You can't reason with these people. They are very childish. Another problem is that many people in that area are either thugs, wannabe thugs, or have family members that are such degenerates, and they don't want themselves, or their family, or friends getting shot while robbing you. I'm not kidding. This is seriously a major reason why some people are anti-gun.

I have constantly tried to use John Lott's and Gary Kleck's works on certain family members and friends. When you start to make sence to them they change the subject and will argue with you if you try to change it back even when they brought it up in the first place.

I got a call from my Dad about a year after I moved out there in which he told me that I was right, that a crackhead had broke into his neighbors house across the street while the guys wife was upstairs alone and stole her purse from the kitchin. He told me he was thinking about getting a gun. A couple weeks latter, oh no guns are bad, your nuts, I never said that.

Two drunks attempted to jump me a block away from my house. coming home from the library a little under a mile away. I am very glad I moved.

Hey you peeps still in Illinois can't have a gun...but your "leaders" have 'em!!!

Front-runner ends bid for Jackson's Illinois House seat
http://news.msn.com/politics/front-r...ois-house-seat

CHICAGO — An Illinois state lawmaker who was a front-runner to replace former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. said Saturday that he's ending his candidacy.

Donne Trotter said he doesn't want felony gun charges he faces to distract from the important issues of his congressional district.

Trotter was arrested Dec. 5 when security screeners at O'Hare International Airport found an unloaded .25-caliber Beretta handgun in his bag.

He told officers he has the gun for a job he works with a security firm and forgot it was in his bag before he went to the airport.

Trotter said solving his district's problems was too important to allow his legal "situation to detract from what needs to be front and center."
