500 murders in Chicago...

[Snakeman721]

Surfing through the news channels yesterday, I briefly stopped on CNN as they were interviewing the Rev. Jesse Jackson about the 500 murders in Chicago for the year. I had to change channels after 30 seconds lest I vomited from hearing the garbage spewing forth from his mouth. But, it got me thinking....

Of those 500 murders in Chicago year to date, how many of them....
1) were committed with a gun?
2) of the gun related murders, how many of them were committed with a handgun and how many with an AK or AR style rifle?
3) and finally, how many of those gun related murders were committed by generally law abiding people with no previous criminal record?

And all Jesse had to say was to parrot the current liberal tirade banning ARs and high cap mags. I bet not ONE of those Chicago murders involved an AR, much less one with a high cap mag!

Yep, way to go Mayor Emanuel with your "no guns in the city" law.....seems to working just fine....NOT!

The answers to your questions:

1. Most of them
2. Most of them
3. None

My questions:

1. How many of the murder victims were minding their own business when they were killed?
2. How many of the victims had prior criminal records?
3. How many of the victims were killed by members of their own race? It is important to determine if there is a racism component.
4. Who did they vote for in the last election?

Hell, my son was in Afghanistan for the last 5 months and took enemy fire on 9/11 and was still safer than he would have been in Chicago, Detroit and a host of other cities with strict gun laws imposed by liberal politicians.

Congratulations Jesse Jackson, Rahm Emanuel and the city of Chicago for achieving your milestone.

The Chicago Sun Times is saying that 87% of the homicides this year were gun related. In Illinois in 2011, there were 452 murders — 377 were with a gun, all but 13 of those a handgun. See, gun control works!

And 75 corpses can attest to it.

Here's a link to the CNN interview:



Here's a quote...he says Newton has a 'Gun Culture' and 4 shooting ranges while Chicago has no gun ranges WTF ?

Jackson defended Chicago, pointing out that there doesn’t exist a “gun culture” like the one apparently present in Newtown, Connecticut. “I think about Newtown, for example, they have three or four gun ranges. There are no gun ranges in Chicago,” Jackson said. “Newtown is so different than the complexity of the urban crisis.”

Maybe someone needs to put up a gun range in Chicago. The Reverend Jackson never fails to illustrate his stupidity. He states that President Obama should visit Chicago in addition to Newton Ct. BHO isn't going into those neighborhoods. After being a community instigator there, he's not going back. Not safe and no familiar faces there. All of his friends are in jail.

if chicago had a gun range, it would be the safest place there.

Let's do what we can to keep Jesse Jackson on the air. He's helping us.

+ 3. Cherish this as one of the rare times we will not see this hustler using his his most potent weapon, the race card. Maybe he's leaving that for Al (The Agitator) Sharpton.

Someone should tell him that Chicago does not have a gun problem. They have a crime problem.

Someone should tell him that Chicago does not have a gun problem. They have a crime problem.

Chicago has a 12-30 year old under-educated, under-parented, under-fathered, unemployed black male problem. These idiots think gang life is a credible solution to their problems. The politicians are "hands off" until it spills on the Miracle Mile or the nice West or Northwest suburbs. The black community won't take any meaningful steps to address the issues, and gansta rappers and hip-hop thugs are making millions. Add a few young Hispanic males with the same "under-everything" and it's a lovely place. Word.

[LePetomane]

I wonder what the count is up to now. Jesse Jackson stated there are no gun ranges in Chicago. Hell, the whole south side is a shooting range.

[FJ540]

I can think of 500 people I wish they'd killed instead. Damn those misguided utes...

It's 10:30 pm 12/31...think the Boyz can get it up to 510 in the next 90 minutes....extra booze / pills / weed goin tonight....

If firing a gun into the air at midnight is a Chicago tradition that could be good for 1 or 2 bodies....
