CHICAGO. IT'S MY KIND OF TOWN

by Bob Walsh

On May 31 the Democratic Republic of Chicago had 18 murders in the one day, a record in the last 60 years, maybe longer.  Almost all of the victims were Black.  (The State Crime Lab statistics only go back to 1961.)  The 9-1-1  call system got 65,000 calls that day.  On a normal day they get 15,000.  

Over the entire 3-day weekend there were 85 shootings and 24 murders total.

Last year the city saw 492 murders.  In 2018 they had 561, more than both NY and LA combined.

It is speculated that much of the violence was enabled by the fact that the cops were chasing rioters and looters and not doing routine patrol duties.

Defund the police.  That will solve everything.  Then the world will be all unicorns and rainbows.  (Or not.)
